GANG OF FIVE BOYS
CHOOSE LIFE OF HOBO

George Morris, the 17-year-old
boy who stole watch from bag
gagemaster T. Y. Dean in this city
Sunday, was brought back to this
place last night by Sheriff Lewis.
who went to Ashland after the
young transgressor yesterday.
Young Morris is one OF gang OF
FIVE boys who were "hoboing 1t"
south. They arrived in Grants Pass
Sunday and hung around most OF
the day. They came into town OIL
the brake beams of train, and af-
ter the Morris boy had stolen the
watch they continued their journey
south in true hobo fashion. At Ash
land the Morris boy made a desper-
ate attempt to escape, but as he ran
around the train an officer reached
out his long arms and folded the lad
to his bosom. After diligent
search the missing watch was found,
StuneQ INSIDE tne DOy SOCh, neat
his shoetop.
This bunch OF five lads, say the
officers, appears to be well informed
on how to "get about" and make
their way through any and all diff
culties. Unlike the Stipple boy who
stole bicycle and is today before
the juvenile court, and who said nc
one was to blame for his bad actions,
the Morris lad put up a tale that
sounded crooked and was prone tc
lay his misdeeds to the influence OF
."bad boys" into whose company he
fell. He is II years OF age.
