RUNAWAY BOY IS
FOUND With Mother

The wanderlust propensity took
such strong hold on a 14-year-old boy
whom the Juvenile Court placed on a
farm in the lower end OF the State
two years ago, that on last Thursday
he ran away to return 10 his old
haunts in Wilmington He was caught
yesterday by f. Ross Farra, chief pro.
baton officer, and City Detective
Sheldon Fairchild in an old hut on
Christiana creek near the P. & r.
cutoff and is awaiting a disposition
of his case.
That the boy ran away from his
home on the farm after two years
residence there is a source of regret
to the officers OF the Juvenile Court.
The boy was taken away from his
mother and It was with her that he
was found yesterday. He declared
that he wanted to return to the farm.
Whether he will be allowed to or not
will be determined some time today.
