the pots could be raised. Bauer did
this when he wanted to put away his

st. Louis, Mo.-A paragon of off zee
boys, yet a terror at home, Gustav
RUPERT, aged IA, and his aunt, Mrs
Ida Keller, respectively grandson and
daughter of Joseph Bauer, a dry goods
merchant of South Broadway, have
been arrested at Hot Springs. Ark.
the boy charged with robbing his
grandfather of S1,7OO before clipping
with Mrs. Keller, whom he is said to
have given $780,
The boy seems to have a dual per-
sonality that has long puzzled his fam
lily.
Rupert, according to advices to the
st. Louis police, confesses to the theft,
which was effected by prying into
vault under Bauer's store. This vault
contained iron pots filed with gold
coin.
In a statement to the Hot Springs
police young Rupert says that hi
stole money from the vault: that he
gave $500 to his aunt, $3.50 each to two
companions and $50 to another. Two
OF these boys left later with a wild
west show. Rupert, according to his
grandfather, talked constantly of cow
boy life and outlaws. He reveled in
the fiction literature of desperadoes.
The story told by Bauer to the po-
lice revealed a marvellous boy char
acter. Young Rupert was truly a
youthful Jekyll and Hyde.
When Gustav was two years old his
mother, now Mrs. Otto Schaeffer of
hot Springs, Ark, remarked and sent
the child to his grandfather. Mr.
Bauer. He was sent in a basket and
an accompanying note requested that
good care be given him.
Bauer was the father of Mrs. Schaef-
fer's first husband and he readily took
the child into his home
When Gustav was years old, ac-
cord1ng TO Mr.. Bauer, he was dis
covered at night rifiing the pockets of
his grandfather's trousers. This was
followed by other misdeeds and in an
attempt to brighten him Mr.. Bauer
clipped articles from the daily papers
wherein the stories of criminal convic-
lions were recited. Some of these
clippings still remain pasted up in the
little dry goods store On South Broad
way.
A year ago Mr.. Bauer secured an
ployment for the boy in the whole
sale house of Butler Brothers. He

WILL NOT FIGHT RATE LAW.
Railroads Decide Not to Fight Two
Cent Fares in Any of States

Railroads Decide Not to Fight Two
Cent Fares in Any of States.
Chicago, April %. The railroads
have abandoned their plan to contest
in the courts the new laws and the
rulings of the railroad commission of
Minnesota, making important reduc-
tons in freight and passenger rates.
At a meeting here Of passenger off,
Gals of all the important lines in Min
nesota steps were taken to bring all
their rates in that state within the
law and the orders of the commission.
No More Special Rates.
On one thing the passenger officials
were unanimously decided, and that is
that the highest rate they can lawfully
make will also be the lowest rate they
will make voluntarily. There will be
no more special rates for clergymen
or others engaged exclusively in reli-
gious work or for state and county
fares, reunions, conventions or other
events attracting large attendance.
How They Will Get Even.
The abandonment of the fight
against the reduced rate laws of Min
nesota makes it practically certain
that the railroads will not fight in the
courts similar laws recently passed by
other states. Instead they will retail
ate by making the minimum fare for
everybody on all occasions the maxi
mum rate fixed by law.
