mer Asquith that they will erfuse to

Criminal Career of a Day Is
Full Of Deeds Worthy o
Veteran Crook.
WANTED TO BE A SlEUTH
Seventeen Year Old Pendleton Youth,
Refused Place on Police Force,
Turns Enemy of Law and Commits
Series of OffenSeS

Deciding that he had reached mans
estate and that the innocent pastime
of boyhood must give way to the
stern duties of fortune making, Ralph
James, a seventeen year old youth of
Pendleton, yesterday took a fling at
high finance, did a turn at detective
work and finally brought up short in
the clutches of the officers. Today
his fate wa1 consigned to the juvenile
court and he will probably be taught
that the world was not built in day
and that maturity cannot be acquired
at will.
Young James began his meteoric
flight yesterday by appearing at the
Troy laundry, where his mother has
been employed and drawing her wa
ges without her knowing or sanction.
Then, having contracted with Wesley
Harrah, well known rancher, for the
purchase of fifty tons of hay accord
ing to his own statement, he under
took to raise money by the issuance
of checks Though he had never
at any one time had more than SIS
in the First National bank, he did not
hesitate to draw three checks upon
that institution, one for $40, one for
SIS and the other for s25. These
We're cashed by several business men
of the city, ST Reetz, the barber, ad-
vancing money on one.
During the afternoon, the boy de-
cided that he was peculiarly adapted
to detective work and applied to
Chief of Police John Kearney for
position upon his staff. Upon being
Informed that the present officers
We're quite competent to preserve the
peace of the community, he forthwith
appointed himself deputy sheriff and
commenced q gum-shoe search of the
various lodging houses for evil doers.'
His career was cut short. however,
when the bogus nature of the checks
was discovered, and his dreams of
becoming a great boy detective were
rudely Interrupted when the officers,
whose work he wished to assist paced
him under arrest.
On account of his extreme yout1
he was turned over to Juvenile or
ficer HALEY this morning and his pun
ishment is now being brewed.
