There will be large amount of

to these in dealing with 15-year-old
lad, he probably will the next time
place more restraint upon them than
merely cautioning them to be good
and don't run away. The Morris lad
was brought before Judge Bollinger
Tuesday afternoon as candidate for
the juvenile home When the lad ex-
pressed desire to go on farm, the
judge arranged with Henry Meints to
take. him to work at his place in the
country. Until such a time as he
could be taken to the farm, the Judge
placed the lad in the care of Sheriff
Eckhardt. This evidently was the
chance Morris was looking for. as he
had been in the sheriff's custody but
q short time when he made good his
escape, since which time nothing has
been seen or heard of him. Recently
the lad beat his way to California
and return. He also went to Ottumwa
during the grocers' convention by
beating his way. In fact during the
past two years he has travelled with
out money or food to almost every
part of the country.
