for Montpelier. where they planned
to take "side door pullman" with
the Mexican border as their point OF
destination.
Early Saturday morning officer

from the father of one Of the boys
asking him to keep a lookout for the
lads. Mr.. Hitler went down to the
railroad yards and there he soon ran
on to a couple OF boys, who he al
once recognized as the young would.

officer, they gave fictitious names
and claimed they were from Pocatel.

headed for the Mexican border to
fight the greasers. Being satisfIed
they were the Rich poys the officer
relieved them of their guns and took
them into custody. They then 'fessed

were followed by scores Of citizens in
autos. while the streets along the line
of march were thronged with citizens
who cheered the hoys as they passed
along.
From the time the boys arrived
until their departure on No. IS, they
were kept busy shaking hands and
receiving tho well wishes of the cit
izens OF Montpelier and hundreds
from the various points in the coun-
ty, who had been attracted here by
the coming of the company. When
the train pulled out there was wav-
ing OF hands. accompanied by good
byes and god speeds from the i'm
mense crowd AZ the depot.
