Boy Grabbed
 For Burglary
 On Friiz Cove
Summer Homes Loofed, Slept in, Left in Mess
 Previous Record

A boy who has been living dur ing the past several months by the plunder of homes along the Fritz Cove Road, eating squirrels and small game he has shot in the woods, garnished with gro- ceries from raided cupboads, was arraigned today before U. S. Con- missioner Felix Gray on the charge of burglary.
 He is Harry O'Brien, ward of the Child Welfare Department, and termed by Deputy U. s. Marshal Sid Thompson, who aided in his arrest last night, the Tarzan of the Fritz Cove Road. M
 After repeated complaints of home owners along the cove that someone was breaking into their houses, stealing, sleeping in their beds and messing up the interior young O'Brien was caught last night in the summer home of Dr w. M. Whitehead by Thompson and Deputy Marshal Walter Hell Ian.
 The two went first last night to Hellan's home in that neighbor- hood, where they found a window opened but nothing taken. Next they investigated number of homes in the Barnacle Gables sec ton, many of which appeared un- touched.
 Lcck Jimmied
 Coming to the Whitehead house, however, they found lock on the rear door had been jimmied with an ice chopper, which still lay on the back porch. On the sink board, the deputies found squirrel, cleaned for cooking and still warm. In the living room they foun d drawers had been pulled out and rifled, one bed had been slept in and had a flashlight laying on the top covers.
 Next they went to the Victor Johnson residence, where young OBrien had formerly lived. Mrs. Johnson showed them places whe:e the boy might have hidden out, but he was nowhere to be found.
 After dark, the deputies returned to the Whitehead house. Hellan entered, leaving Thompson to guard the front of the house. Hell Ian found the squirrel had been been moved and that there was a pile of groceries, two books and the flashlight heaped in the cen- ter of the room. Searching, Hell Ian finally discovered O'Brien uii- der the bed, flattened against the wall to avoid detection.
 O'Brien told the deputies that he had slept at the Sommers house on the Fritz Cove Road for about a week, had broken into the Van Mavern and Dr. G. F. Freeburger houses and stolen groceries and had been staying at the White head house for the past two nights.
 Flees to Cliffs
 He said he had heard the men. when they first came to the White head home and had fled to the cliffs nearby, where he hid and watched them. After dark, he had come hack and had packed his supplies, pre- pairing to move to another of the summer homes.
 On the way to Juneau, O'Brien told them he had left rifle and two boxes of shells at the White head house, which he admitted talk ing from the Clsaries Bettinger house, and some whisky from the John Medika place.
 Tn his possession at the time of the arrest was a box of cigars, butcher knife, a pocketful of .22 shells. two more boxes of shells, a package of shelled waInuts, two books, two packages of cigarettes, can of grease, package of bread

snow in the pitch-darkness, it would
be easy to get lost. He glanced at his
watch, then snapped the radio on.
There might be more reports on the
storm.
Instead, a swing band was playing.
off when the announcer's voice came
in:
Ladies and gentlemen: We are
again broadcasting in the hope that
someone has information regarding
the Dodge Center teacher and three
small children believed lost in the bliz-
zard. 1t is known they left the school
house; their car was found, empty. on
the road. If they attempted to travel
on foot it is feared they may have
become helpless with cold. Searching
parties have been formed but little
hope is held of finding them during the
night. Anyone who may have any in
formation whatsoever, please phone
this station. This broadcast will be
repeated at fifteen minute intervals.
Tommie snapped the switch. No one
spoke. 1t had been less than three min
utes since the motor had stopped, but
already the cab was chilling. At length
Miss Hatch broke the silence: "Is
there nothing we can do?"
Fraid not, lady," Monk said
soberly. "We amt got no new bearing.
Even if we had one, reckon we couldn't
put it in. A man would freeze stiff in
ten minutes, layin' under the truck"
But if we don't do something -"
Miss Hatch broke off, her thin face
frightened.

an wind so cold it snatched the
breath right out of your body"
''No - but last winter | put in a
whole rear end along a sidehill, and
it was ten below zero then"
ITS fifteen below now" Monk said
Tommie didn't answer He looked at
his watch. A little after seven. The
dance was probably starting now He
thought of Keller, warm and comfort
able, swinging to the music in the
lighted hall. He thought of Lola -
NloNK watched him. Look here"
he said. Don't be a fool! What are va
goln' to do?"
Tommie was taking small socket
set from the dash locker. "l'm goin' to
drop the pan an have look, he said.
In less than ten minutes Tommie
began to feel that Monk was right No
man could stand such cold. The wind
whipped under the tractor, cutting
through his clothes almost as if he had
none on. He had hardly started to
work the pan bolts out before his fin
gers were too numb to hold the wrench.
He grasped 1t in his fist.
With the pan half unbolted, he was
forced to stop. The cold had become
uncomfortable. He stumbled back up
into the cab and shook off his gloves.
His fingers were white and bloodless.
Miss Hatch looked at them, then sud
denly unbuttoned her coat. ''Here!'
she exclaimed. Taking Tommie's
hands, she thrust them under her arm
pits, then put her palms against the
burning frostblte in his cheeks.
Monk looked on anxiously. Better
give it up, feller." he said. I'VE can
stand it in the cab until morning"
Tommie said nothing. The blood
was flowing through his fingers again;
they ached painfully. Presently he
drew his hands free and put on his
gloves. "I'll have to cut hunk out of
my boot, Monk" he said. well be
ready for it pretty soon.'
But it wasn't pretty SOON; it was
full twenty minutes before he returned
to the cab. He was shaking, exhausted
with cold, but he held the bearing cap
in his hand. Both halves out" he
said. "I'll cut the leather to go clear
around the shaft" He sank into the
seat while Monk helped him fashion
the bearing. Once more Miss Hatch
worked on his fingers, rubbing and
warming them back to life.
When the leather was done Tommie
again crawled under the motor. This
was the last of it, he told himself; get
the leather into the bearing, then a
few bolts to hold the pan. Then tighten
the oil filter. There was a can of oil
under the seat. After it was in the
case he could start the motor. The
heater would work, the cab warm.
Warm!
This was the last of it, but it was
twice as hard as the first. He hadn't
realized how the cold had sapped his
strength. He was dizzy with cold; he
could hardly see. Tears flowed from
his eyes and froze upon his cheeks. His
hands were numb, without feeling, yet
still they hurt! The flashiight, stuck
beside him in the snow, was growing
dim. 1t didn't matter now; nothing
mattered except these last few bolts.
Only half dozen more and the pan
would be tight enough to hold oil. Just
these few, but the trouble was he

Tommie nodded. His heart was
humping uneaslly. The big hill. he
remembered, started with long, gen
tie rise around a curve and ended
with a steep pitch perhaps hundred
yards long at the summit. 1t was this
last steep pull which worried him. He
pressed the accelerator down, hoping
to gain speed for running start up
the grade.
But he was not making more than
twenty miles when the headlights
picked up the rising curve. AS he felt
the speed slacken. he dropped to
second. The gears whined as the big
motor took up the load. The transport
numbered forward; Tomme's heart
quickened. They were around the curve
now. With the steep pitch just ahead
he dropped into low, giving the motor
full throttle.
Again the wheels started slipping but
Tommie held the feed tight against
the floor There could be no stopping
now, or they might never start again.
No driver, no matter how skllltul,
could back the long seml-traller down
the hill around the curve. He set his
jaw. The motors steady rumble had
become labored groan. Monk nudged
his ribs. Drop her in the hole!
Tommie snatched the gear lever.
The hole" was the emergency low -
the last hope. Once more the motor
picked up. but the truck hung there.
Again it commenced its terrific lung
ing; the cab and frame seemed to
buckle under the strain. Tommie's
eyes were fixed on the summit Less
than a hundred feet nowl A hundred
feet, an inch at time.
Abruptly the motors note changed.
Tommle shot glance at the oil gauge.
1t was down. At the same instant
heavy pounding sounded from under
the hood; a bearing was gone. The
pounding increased. Slowly the trans
port crawled ahead. At last it reached
the top.

Miss Hatch watched him with fright
ened eyes. In the bunk the little girl
was whimperlng. Monk drew deep
breath. You've done it. feller," he
said. You might of known the truck
couldn't stand such grind as that"
Tommie climbed out and lifted the
hood. One glance was enough; he
returned to the cab. Filter line
worked loose" he told Monk. "An'
pumped the oil all out of the case"
Miss Hatch looked at him anxiously.
Does that mean we can't go on? Is
there any way we can get help?"

He looked out into the blackness be-

District day in the House today
was marked by a brief but heated
debate over recent action of the
Commissioners in approving mod
ifcatlon of the liquor control law
which would permit "stand-up"
drinking at bars.
Representative Rich, Republican,
of Pennsylvania shouted his in
dignation over the plan after the
House in rapid succession had
passed five relatively minor District
bills and sent them to the Senate.
'fI read in the papers the other
day that steps have been taken to
permit the old-time saloon to come
back" he declared. "If we are going
to have saloons we don't want them
to start in Washington"
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee explained that
any legislation designed to permit
"standup" drinking at bars here
would first have to be enacted by
Congress, and assured Mr.. Rich the
subject would be given careful con-
sideration by his committee.
