DIDN'T LIKE STATE HONE AT
DENVER AND RAN AWAY

Earl Willis, youthful incorrigible
from williamsburg. Is in the custody
of the sheriff awaiting the arrival Of
an officer from the state home for de-
pendent children at Denver to take
him back to that institution. Earl
Is about II years of age and Is con-
vinced from a two years experience
that he doesn't like the discipline to
which boys and girls are subjected at
the home and has made up his mind
to break away from it's supervision as
often as possible.
His father having practically aban-
doned him and his mother being dead
Earl was taken to the home for de-
pendent and neglected children on the
order of Judge Cooper OF the county
court nearly two years ago. He has
managed to make his escape four or
five times and in December came back
to Williamsburg. hoping to spend the
Christmas holidays at the homo Of
his aunt, Mrs. Frew, but his hopes
were frustrated and he was taken
back to Denver. One day last week
he reappeared in Florence and made
his way over to Williamsburg, greatly
to the surprise Of his relatives there.
Undersherin John Chetelat drove
over to Williamsburg, yesterday and
after a chase in which the little fel-
low was finally overhauled, the run
away was brought here to be held
pending the arrival OF an officer from
Denver to take him back to the home.
The father Of the unfortunate boy Is
at present making his home in Illinois.
That he is making no provision for
the care or education OF his son 8
greatly to his discredit to say the
least
