BOISE BOY BANDITS.
Five Youngsters Suddenly Decide on
Career of Outlawry.

Career Of Outlawry.
Boise, July S1.-Ray Fletcher,
Theodore Young, Tom Blalock, Ed
and Dewey suttles, five Boise boys,
made a start for the penitentiary re-
Gently by breaking into the Carlson
Lusk hardware store, where they
stole s40.05 from the cash register
and made good their escape.
The boys enjoyed their ill-gotten
gains several days. but their career
was cut short yesterday by NJ. H. Sc
bern, the juvenile court officer, who
discovered the boys had revolvers
and who later secured a confession
from one of them.
Upon investigation, the boys proved
themselves little less than genuine
bandits. When taken before Probate
Judge Leonard this morning the tes-
timony showed that two boys entered
the store from a basement window,
while the other three stood guard
outside. The robbery occurred about
9 o'clock at night They took the
money secured and each purchased a
revolver and ammunition.
Their plans for the future were to
rob the Eastman-Teller store, the
Boston grocery, and then they were
going to hold up store at Meridian.
Their next exploit was to go to Nam
pa, where they proposed to kill a
man who had pulled one of the boys
off a horse. An era of crime was fl
nally decided upon. After one Of
the boys peached, no one showed any
contribution.
A more cold-blooded, brazen bunch
of youngsters was never before as
sembled in the office of the probate
judge. Four of the boys admitted
their guilt and were let out on pa
role, Ed Suttles lied about it and will
probably be sent to the reform school.
He has a sister there and his father
is in the penitentiary.
