Henry Robinson, Aged Ten,
Fools Chief Eaton.
Tells Story of Hard Luck and
Ill Treatment.
LEADS A WILD CHASE
Recaptured and Taken Back to
Reform School.
Station Is Given a Thorough
Overhauling.

A little boy about ten years old did
the best job of pulling the wool over
the eyes of the police in the history
of the force. Henry Robinson was
brought to the station Thursday for
hanging around the Santa Fe depot.
He gave the police a fearful descriu-
ton of the hard times he had with his
parents and how his relatives in To-
peka had turned him from their doors
with nothing to eat and nothing TO
wear. The police noticed Yesterday
that he was a smart little kid for his
age but they little suspected after he
had been so explicit that he was ont
on parole from the reform school
This was known after he had almost
foiled the police last night in an ex-
citing chase through fields and woods
southeast of the city.

lice while he sat around the station
all afternoon and Chief Eaton made
arrangements to have him taken Ia
the home of his relatives in this CITY,
in homes that the relatives might he
persuaded to take the little boy back
The chiefs private patrol was hitched
up and the boy taken in style by De-
tective Hutton to his ALLEGED home. The
boy had been I'm Topeka but a few
weeks but he seemed to know the city
well and during the ride to the south
eastern part of the city he kept hi,
mead working all the way and point
ed out to the detective places he had
been trying to get work and make q

living for himself. He kept up a good
hne of "con" talk all the way and the
big detective could not help but be-
neVe every word of it. At last the
edge OF the city had been reached but
the boy still urged the detective to
drive on saying that his home was a
little ways outside of the city limits.
After driving for a number of blocks
outside of the limits the detective
asked the boy if a big stone house
situated in little valley was the home
OF his relatives. Henry clapped his
knees in glee when he saw the house
and stated in most emphatic terms
that it was the home they were look
ing for. Detective Hutton drove up in
front of the house and waited while
the boy walked up to the front door
and knocked. A lady came to the
door and after a minutes conversation
the boy walked around to the rear of
the house and disappeared. Hutton
thought that something was suspicious
about the acting of the lady and the
young boy and he drove a little ways
down the road to see If he could see
the boy on the other side of the
house. To his surprise Henry. the
poor desolate" lad, was running off
legs would carry him. He did not stop
to turn around but made for the
woods with lightning speed. The big
detective jumped out of Eatons Spe-
c1al and started In hot pursuit. After
a chase of over a mile the boy was
caught and confessed at once that he
was paroled from the reform school
and was trying to bum his way to
Kansas City when caught by the po-
lice at the Santa Fe. He followed the
detective reluctantly to the patrol and
accompanied the officer to the LADY of
the house to inquire from her the talk
the little boy had given. She informed
the officer that he asked If she took
the State Journal and said he was get
ting subscriptions for the paper. He
then went to the back of the house
and was not seen until Detective Hut
ton made the chase through the fields.
At the station today the little expert
said that he lived in Kansas City but
had never had trouble with his pa
rents. He said that his troubles were
with the police.
An officer from the reform school
arrived at the station today and claim
ed the little fellow. He said that he
was noted for his efficiency In arous-
ing sympathies and then taking ad-
vantage of them.

essary for the patrol driver to be on
hand just as the gong rings. A new
gong system has been placed in the
drivers rooms. This gong is of the
type used by the banks in the city and
was installed especially for the benefit
of big Bob Palmer who holds the sleep
ing record at the police station.

going on out in the Jail yard and dur

see nothing but wreck or ruin over the
odd tower the new improvements will

of getting something better.
