another younger son than this one.
I Arvin is good pupil in the sew
enth grade of the Oskaloosa schools.
proud of his school record and was
looking forward to getting into the
high school. He is not lazy, and is
stout for his age, with frank,
honest face and eyes that look one
straight back in the eyes all the time.
He shows much good sense in his
talk, and altogether is rather fine
boy.
He decided to get out of his present
troubles at home by running away TO
/ Des Moines to get work When he
boarded freight train at Oskaloosa,
the perverse train moved southeast
instead of northwest, and instead Of
taking him sixty-five miles 20 Dee

Officer LaFeber, of the police f0ree.
He was lodged at the station last
