The story of little Bryan Alexander
is far out of the. common run or the
police station news, and when the
News told of how the little chap
whose father lives in Redlands, Cal,
and the mother in Tennessee. had;
worked fora month and saved enough
money to buy q ticket TO go back to his
mother, sympathy was aroused in quar-
tiers that proved sufficient to see thar
the boys desire was carried out.
The only response given now to the
San Bernardlno officials, who, at the
instigation of the father when he
found that the boy had left for his
mother, telegraphed that he be held
hero, is that the juvenile court here
has Investigated the lads case and
that he has been released from Gus
tody and sent on his way to Tennessee
If the boy himself was happy yes

and if there is any one man in the
world that Bryon Alexander looks up
to it is EIr. Rednlun. Having interest
ed himself in the case Mr.. Redman
not only devoted his whole time for 4
couple of days looking after the boy
but retained counsel to fight any pos
sible case in the court. Then when the
court said the boy might go, he saw
that the boy would have funds by
starting n subscription with Sc, and in
reality "held up" his friends. Mir. j!
p. Gardner looked over his entire
stock to find q silt OF the boys

"a lunch box that was never equaled.
Police officials and newspaper men
contributed 10 the fund, and for his
protection on the way Kenneth c.
Kerr, district passenger agent for the
Salt Lake Route. gave the boy q let
ter that viii make every conductor ana
agent along the road take more than
