Back to the Farm
Lad of 8, Who Swiped An.
other Mount Thursday to
Enter Races Flees to.
Escape Kearney.

Kermit Gasaway, 8, who dropped
into town Thursday long enough to
steal another horse, start for the
races and get arrested, escaped to
his uncle's farm this morning before
the juvenile authorities got hold OF
him. His father, Charles Gasaway

The police the boy had Just come in
frcm his uncle's farm at Valley for
visit and he would send him right
back
An order to go to kearney In
dustrial school to remain till he is Il
is hanging over Kermit, who seems
unable to curb his propensities for
horse stealing. This order was placed
over him in juuvenile court, April 80.
Just Can't Help 1t.
Although he is Of such tender
years, It's said he has stolen more
horses than anyone else in Omaha.
It seems he just can't help it.
He had stolen four horses before
the Kearney order was made. One
of these he stole while he was at
Riverview Detention home for steal
ing another.
Three days after the Kearney
order, above mentioned, Kermit was
back in juvenile court for sealing an
other horse
Pleas Save Him.
His tender years and his parents
pleas saved him from incarceration
at the industrial school, where there
are no horses. The parents said
they would send him forthwith TO
his uncle's farm at Valley. On that
condition Judge Sears let him 60.
Since then Kermit has been on the
farm where he has two horses to
take care of and a pony of his own
to ride
But it seems stolen horses are the
sweetest to Kermit He came back
to Omaha-he rode in, and Thursday
he found horse and wagon stand
ing at Thirteenth and CASTELAR, streets,
He unhitched the animal, got upon
its back and started for Ak-Sar-Ben
field.
Going to Races.
As he galloped past Nineteenth
and Leavenworth streets Thursday
afternoon Detectives English and
Ryan saw him. They stopped him.
where are you going with the nag,
kid" they inquired
Going to the races" said the boy,
"and I got to hurry"
He was putting spur to his steed
again when he was further inter-
rupted.
''What's your name?" demanded
the detective.
Kermit Gasaway."
Back to Farm.
"You come with US" said the Of
hcers of the law. I'VE know all
about you. Where'd you steal this
nag"
And, with Kermit astride the ami
NAL, the detectives leading it, they
proceeded to the police station.
Kermit's father was soon on the
Job and early yesterday morning he
took him back to the farm.
