Salem Runaway
Caught at Aurora

Aurora. Ore, Dec. 29.- An H.
year old boy who claimed to be a
son of Mr.. and Mrs Albert Jaril
of Salem was held in custody of
the city marshal Monday until his
parents could be located. The lad
attracted suspicion in Aurora
when he attempted to sell a watch.
Standing in front of the garage on
Main street he offered the watch
for sale at low figure to a man
passing. That man happened TO
be the city marshal. During the
negotiation the boy noticed the
star on the marshars coat and ne
did not urge the sale much. He
said, "Well, If you don't want it,,
l will try to sell it at the printing
office across the road" Instead
of going to the printing office the
young man ran around the corner
and started in the direction of
Portland on a back street. He
was caught by the marshal who
held him for further investiga-
ton, When the boy gave his
name, his parents were reached by
telephone and asked to have the
boy sent home on the stage. He
was poorly clad, and told the mar
shal that the only thing he re-
ceived for Christmas was Tick
ing" He said he started from Sa-
lem on foot and was picked up on
the road by an automobile and
brought as far as Aurora. He had
made up his mind to reach Port
land and find work.

MUSIC QUELLS RIOT
italian City Is the Scene of Extra
ordinary Incident.
Bohemian Lad Playing on Hotel Bal.
cony at Lucea Halls Mad
dened Throngs.

London.-Lucca was the scene Of an
extraordinary incident recently which
recalls the classic fable Of Orpheus
with hts lutte, who charmed wild beasts
with his music.
So says a Milan dispatch to the Dali
ly Telegraph, and goes on: 1.-THE play:
ing Of a boy violinist suddenly halted
a mob in the streets of Lucca apd the
rioters abandoned their violent pur-
pose. The violinist is Vosa Prikoda, a
Bohemian lad of eighteen, who wan
dered to Venice fourteen months ago
and was at Lucca during the Socialist
agitation. A great crowd assembled,
EnrieO Malatesta. an anarchist lead
er, made a harangue which excited his
hearers to fury and, ready for any ex-
cesses. they started through the main
street to the public square.
ION the balcony Of his hotel near
the entrance to the square, the Bohe-
milan boy was playing his violin to a
few admiring people below. The first
of the mob reached this group, lis
tened to the violinist and remained
fascinated by his playing. All the
others stopped to listen and as the
boy continued playing their fury SUBJ
sided. Instead of smashing heads
they applauded him, and half an hour
later were all walking quietly to their
homes"
