LONG TRIP is MADE
BY SlX-YEAR-oLO
Younsster Gets on Train at Pocatello
and Comes to Salt Lake.

Salt Lake. April 3-While mem
bers Of the Pocatello police depart
ment were making preparations to
drag the Snake river at that place for
the body Of Leroy Ford, between 6
and years old, that young man was
amusing himself by helping Matron
Clifford at the Salt Lake City jail.
Thursday afternoon Leroy went to
the depot at Pocatello TO meet an
incoming aunt. The aunt did not ar
rive. and before the youngster could
leave the train 1t pulled out and
brought him to Salt Lake. Passengers
and tralnmen alike believed him TO
be the child Of some one on the train
and took little notice OF him. When
the train pulled into Salt Lake Thurs
day night at o'clock Leroy left the
car and wandered into the city. At
Midnight Patrolman j. j. Riley picked
him lid at the corner OF First South
and State streets and took him to
the police station. but the lad was very
sleepy and could give no satisfactory
account OF where he lived.
For two hours he sat In the ser
geants dock and almost broke his
neck in attempting to sleep. 1t was
expected that the parents would call
for the boy at any moment, but as the
hours passed and he was still unclaim-
ed it was supposed that his parents
had gone TO the theater or werc other
wise engaged and had forgotten their
con.
Friday morning Lieutenant John
Hempel telephoned to the Pocatello
police department, as the boy had said
that he was from that place. Later
the lieutenant received an answer
from the chief of police that the Poca-
tello department was making prepar-
ations to drag the Snake river. The
parents were frantic over the loss Of
their child aud as his disappearance
could not be accounted for, the river
was thought to be the answer. Partic-
ulars as to who are the parents of the
child are not known, but the 'Pocatello
chief telephoned that the boy shoul .
be sent back on the Friday evening
train.
The child was taken back to Poca-
tello on the 11:45 p. IN. Oregon Short
Line train.
