LAD Is, IN JAIL,
| STOLE SIX CARS
Heron Lake Lad Being Held
In Jail at Jackson for
February Term

Heron Lake-With trail of six
stolen cars behind him according
to his own admission, Franklin
Loveland, Is year old Heron Lake
boy, is now in the county Jail at
jackson awaiting the February
term of court when he will be tried
on a second degree grand larceny
charge. He is charged with rob-
bing the Briardale store in Heron
Lake of a large quantity of mer-
chandise, September %.
The lad denies participation in
the robbery but he is known to
have been in Heron Lake that day
and former proprietor of a res
taurant at Lakefield has identified
the lad as having given a check
to her that was stolen from the
store.
When arrested recently at Mid
land, South Dakota, on charge
of stealing car Loveland had two
loaded revolvers on his person and
another in suitcase in the car.
Loveland tells a dozen or more
different stories but the one pol
ice believe most corrct, is that he
and another Heron Lake young
man were arrested several weeks
ago in Minneapolis and that a SEN
tence of a year was suspended
provided the boys return to Heron
Lake with their parents.
Parents of the boy brought
them back to Heron Lake on q
night train. While the train was
at the Heron Lake station, young
Loveland jumped out of a coach
window and disappeared. He rode
the early morning branch line
train to Pipestone and hitch-hiked
to Lake Benton. There he stole
car which he drove to within q
mile of Adrian where he ran out
of gas.
Passersby took him to Adrian to
get gas but instead of returning to
the car, he stole another which he
drove to Worthington. While
working on q tire there, police
questioned him but he gave salts
factory answers so the officers
left. Fearing that he might be
apprehended if he drove this car
any further, he rode a train to
Bingham Lake. From there he
started trip westward that took
him as far as Claremont, Wyom-
ing, where he visited his aunt. In
formed that he was out on parole,
she started him homeward. He
stopped at Phillips, South Dakota,
where he committed the car theft
that resulted in his arrest.
