MISSING BOYS ARE
SOUGHT BY POLICE
Parents Worried Over Unex-
planned Disappearance Of
Three Youths
Authorities Inclined to Belief
That Lads Have Started
on Travels Together

OAKLAND Sept. 30.-Three boys. all
between 16 and IS years of age, were
reported as missing to the police to-
day. Joe F'raga of 142S Eighth avenue,
Melrose, disappeared from his home
two days ago, and his unexplained abb
sence has caused his parents much
anxiety. Prior to his disappearance
young Fraga told some acquaintances
that he intended to take a trip to
Stockton. The boy is short and thick
set, weighing about las pounds. He
has brown hair and a light complex
ion. When he left home he wore a
dark suit, soft white shirt and yellow
shoes.
Tony and Joe Balagno, brothers, ran
away from their home at 514 Forty
third street on the same day that
young Fraga disappeared. The police
are inclined to believe that the three
boys started out on their travels to-
gether. The Balagne boys both have
dark compilations, black hair and eyes.
Their father, Charles Balagno, says
that they are inclined to be wild. and
he is afraid they have been enticed
from the city in bad company.
