WHERE'S THE BOY's HoMEs
Dickinson and Saline Authorities
in Clash Over It.

Dickinson and Saline Authorities
in Clash Over It.
The Dickinson county and Saline
county authorities are in dispute
over the right to Elmer Packard, .
boy i9 charge Of the Children's Home
Finding association. The superin'
tendent, H. A. Jones, gave out this
interview yesterday:
THE boy was located a few days
after he got away. Elmer was taken
from school by Mr.. Kenney Of En-
terprise and driven to that place.
The court had previously taken the
boy from Mr.. Kenney and given him
to the society. Mr.. Kenney was not
in the court room at the time and
probably does not realize the extent
Of the courts order.
Letters we're written to the boy
while he was at the Mon gold home
and this man Kenney got him worked
up SO that he desired to get back to
Enterprise. Otherwise, ! believe the
boy would not have thought Of going
away.
"But be was taken and is there yet.
l have asked for the boy and pecu-
liar occurrence has happened. The
Dickinson county authorities, with
whom have taken the matter up,
want me to place it In the hands OF
the Saline county officers. They al
lege that the boy was stolen from Sa-
line county and that in this county
the offense was committed.
Il don't care to take it up with the
Saline county officers. The boy was
given to the society by a Dickinson |
county court. A resident Of that
county stole him and be lives In that
county now. Hence it is the business
II the officials Of Dickinson county to
zee that the boy is returned to the
'ociety.
The society carefully guards its
wards and the boy must sooner or
alter be turned over to u.s."
