Youngstcr OF - Lands in Sioux Falls
Prison.
Although only about % years of age
AZ. NJ Wagner, who was lodged in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary a few days
ago to serve term of one year for
burglary, committed in Sully county
has made criminal record which will
be envied by many old and habitual
criminals
When he serves his present term the
troubles OF young Wagner will not be
over FOR he Is wanted in Potter cnun-
ty on charge of horse stealing, and
the authorities OF that county promise
to meet him at the prison doors when
he completes his term and is released
with the object OF escorting him back
to Potter county for trial on the
charges pending against him there.
The career OF young Wagner should
serve as q warning to other young
men who are inclined to take possess
sion of property that does not belong
to them. He has been wilful, head
strong boy since he was only a lad.
and has caused his parents and the
neighbors great deal Of worry and
trouble for several years.
