BOY HID IN RAFTERS
Industrial School Lad Has Given Of

Chester Hummer, IA, again proved
his right to his last name today when
he was found by Undersheriff Bob
Miller and Deputy Sheriff Oscar Carl
son hidden in the rafters of his sis
ter's home on East Fourth street. His
sister is Mrs. Laura Crosswhite. Ches-
ter had escaped from the industrial
school Saturday.
The lad kept the police, sheriffs Of
flee and juvenile officers in hot water
for days. He was the ring leader in
gang of boys who didn't do things
according to Hoyle. He escaped time
after time-when the officers thought
they had him cornered. Finally he
was captured at midnight two weeks
ago after an exciting chase. Sheriff
Larimer and Undersheriff Miller found
him hidden behind a piano in his bro
ther-in-law's home.
Chester was placed in the indus
trial school. He made his escape
Saturday. The officers called at his
sisters home this morning.
She cried and denied that he was
in the house." said Deputy Sheriff
Carlson. Finally she admitted that
he was hidden in the garrett We went
up there and couldn't find a trace OF
Chester. We called, and pretty soon
he answered. He was hidden up
among the rafters. We didn't take
any chances, and took him from his
sisters home straight to the reforma-
tory"
