WILLIAMS TO PLAINFIELD
YOUTHFUL TRAIN WREckER IS
SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL TO
JOIN YOUNG LoFTUs-LAUGEL
TO COUNTY JAIL.

The death knell to the court house
gang was rung today with the sending
at Walker Williams to the Plainfield
Reform school. Frank Laugel to the
county Jail, and the announcement
that Otto Peters had joined the regular
army.
The county officials gave a sigh OF
relief as the judgment ON the two
youths was pronounced and they feel
certain that henceforth little trouble
will be forthcoming from Juveniles
Not only will the authorities action
serve as an example to other youths
aspiring to be Diamond Dicks. but it
has also had its immediate effect in
assuring the merchants that they can
now leave their places Of business
without fear of any vandalism being
committed.
He Wrecked a Train.
Walker Williams is the young six
teen year old boy who, in company
with Charles LOTUS and Frank Town
send. wrecked a c.. c. & L. freight
train on September 10 on Newman s
Hill, by throwing the switch. He, I'M
der strenuous third degree work by
the police, admitted his guilt last week
and was committed to the county Jail.
This morning he was arraigned before
Judge Fox of the juvenile court.
The affidavit charging him with will
full destruction of railroad property,
was read, to which he admitted his
guilt. His age was then asked to
which he replied Is years. Judge Fox
sentenced him to the Plainfield Reform
school until he became of age. Will
liams took his sentence very coolly.
The last of the gang to be placed I'M
der arrest, Frank Laugel, appeared be-
fore Judge Fox with his attorney, Hen
ry U. johnson. He was charged ~
the state Of stealing a pair of shoes
from the c., G. & L. railroad, to which
he admitted his guilt. Although Lau-
gel has been implicated with the cour.
house gang in its operations for some
time, he bore a comparatively good rep
utation.
To County Jail.
Mr.. johnson had made previous ar
rangements with Judge Fox whereby
Laugel was to be fined 81 and costs
and sent to the county Jail for sixty
days. This was Judge Fox's SEN
tence. but in addition he promised the
boy that unless he mended his ways
when he left the Jail, a charge would
probably be brought against him
which would be sufficient to send him
to the reform school until he became
of age.
