THE RIDING KID
BACK TO Ch|cAe0

That the book entitled '"The Rid m
Kid From Powder River" furnishes
the details for successful career if
followed literally and closely. Is the
belief Of Powder River county off,
Gals who recently had occasion to pick
up the young man wanted in Chicago
as having taken French leave" from
one Ct the Juvenile institutions in that
city. says the Miles City Daily Star In
it's issue Of June 10. The article con-
tinues:
'This young man, whose escape and
recapture by Sheriff Suffer of Broadus
was brought to Miles City on Friday
afternoon by Roy NJ. Lee, special dep
uty sheriff for the day, and turned
over to Max West, an officer of the
juvenile court in Chicago. who took
the youthful prisoner back to the big
city.
"In recounting some Of the dtails of
the Montana history of the young man.
Mr.. Lee stated that when word was
received to pick him up and hold him
until the officers frcm Chicago ar
rived he was detained in the Jail but
was given such freedom as was con-
sistent for one SO young.
During the confinement the young
man was privileged to read the "Ridin'
Kid From Powder River and frcm it
gained, as he explained later, mu"h of
! the knowle edge he had of how Things
were done in the west. In departing
from the Jail, which was on Sunday
| afternoon. he had already assimilated
! much of the cCntext of the book. and
nothing daunted. QUILTED himself with
| a pair of chaps and gun. and stuff
fing the book comfortably in his
pockets in case of the need for future
| reference, pried open the cutter door
and spying a saddled horse tied across
the street proceeded to appropriate it
and when astride rode rapidly out Of
| town. striking both tanks Of the nc rise
as he swung his arms from side to
side.
LAS the Chicago officers were on the
way it was necessary to recapture the
young man. Sheriff Suffer was noti-
fled of the sensational and quick get
away of his prisoner and Immediately
set out in pursuit with the RESULT that
he was soon retaken.
| ARRIVING in the city on Friday in
company with Mr.. Lee. the little fell
low indicated that after all. he had
run his little race with a considerable
amount of enccura cement, and if the
| Ridin' Kid From Powder River was
only myth. at least he was ready and
willing to demonstrate that he could
be made real. and the action of the
| authorities in denying him the plivi-
leSe seemed to be a little strange tc
him-when there is so much room in
Montana and in Powder River county"

young mans exploits. His mann is

guilty in the local justice court to
