HERO, ALTHo THIEF.
Police Chief condones Boys Crime Up
on Learning its Cause.

Des Moines, June 24.-Edgar Rasler.
aged 15 years, is a boy hero. He has
not pulled anybody from the river; he
has had no spectacular reward. He
has instead admitted himself thief
confessed that he robbed quarter gas
meter for money to buy food-but the
officials say he is hero because he has
taken an oath he means to keep, to
forever be good. Besides, they have
learned that he works in a coal mine
and supports a family of four He
earns $1.15 day and reserves for him
self but % cents per week.
The story Of this manly boy has no
parallel in local police history. He was
reared under the worst conditions, but
now at the age of 10 years, a weakly,
thin little boy. he supports his grand
mother, his elder sister baby brother
and himself. Besides. his grandm other
has saved a little from his earnings.
| The story all came out yesterday in
the private office of Chief Detective
Johns ton Edgar was arrested. For
many days the detectives have CO.
operate with the officials of the Des
Moines Gas Company to run to earth
band of gas meter thieves. The drag
net was set and it bagged Edgar with
! the rest
| The little boy listened while the chief
explained about stealing, telling the lad
how it is wrong and he. seemed better
to understand. AT last when Johnston
had told him he could have one more
| chance, the boys face shone with JOY
and he said:
| Mr. Johnston, l am SO glad. My
mother told me you were awful good
| to us once before. My father told me
you helped get my sisters in the chill
fdens home. I want to be good
didn't quite think it was stealing to
take the quarters from that box in my
aunt's cellar. I get off every other
Saturday afternoon. I want to wash
up next time and come down and see
you. l will bring note from the boss
that | have been good"
The chief let him go and gave him
money to pay his car fare home and
get something for his little brother.
1t was clear case Of robbery. The
boy did take the quarters from the
meter There are few officers who
would have sent him to Jail
