TRUANTS' BUSY DAY. Boys of 12 Rob Launch, Break Into Freight Car and Get in Line for Reform School. Kossack Furteck and Willlam La- rue, scarcely more than 12 years old, were sentenced to the state reform school at Thursday morning’s session of the police court, but the sentence was suspended and they were both placed on probation for One year. The boys were charged with break- ing and entering & freight car with in tent to commit larceny, and thel carecr all the day Wednesday is de- serving .of some notice. In the first place they “hookey” school, and e a chicken from & coop near the rallroad tracks at the upper end of the town, hidin tho home of one of the boys they took a rowboat and rowe a motor launch on the river, and strip- ped it of everything they wanted, be- sides breaking the headiight. With the pincers which they found there, the boys broke the seal on a freight car, from which they took considerable flour in sacks. Then they tried another car, filled with corn, and pouring the flour out of a sack, started to fill it up with corn. They were discovered carrying this last booty away, and fled, but were later found and apprehended. The probation sentence was given on the pleading of the boys' parentts, who said this was the first time they had ever done wrong. The strange part of the af- fair is how the boys got the car door open after breaking the seal, as it is a man’s job, especially if the wood has swollen any. Given Chance to Beat It. George Jones, who was kept over night at the station house Tuesday, did not profit by experience, but pro- ceeded to “load up” Wednesday, and was before the court Thursday morn- ing.
