COURT HOUSE
DAMAGED A COACH.

Joe Yoerns, aged nine years, was ar
rested at Alliance yesterday morning
by an officer of the Lake Erie, Alliance
& Western railroad police department
and brought to this city in the after
noon to appear before Probate Judge
Bow on a charge of having defaced
a l.. E., A. & w. passenger coach.
After being arrested the boy admit
ted he was guilty of defacing the pas
senger coach by punching a dozen or
more holes in its side with a pick:
1t is also alleged that at various
times the lad had placed distractions
upon the tracks. On account of Judge
Bow being busily engaged in other
probate court work the lad was not
given a trial yesterday afternoon and
he was placed in the custody of the
sheriff. No exact date for the hearing
was set but it is probable that he will
be brought in for trial sometime this
afternoon or tomorrow morning.
An older brother of the accused lad
Is now in the Boys Industrial school
at Lancaster. 1t was thought by the
officials that the boy ought to be com.
mitted to the industrial school and
with that end in view he was brought
here. 1t is very probable that he will
join his brother at the Lancaster in

younger brother at the Yoerns home
