Refuses to Obey Grandmother; Has Him Before Judge Hanley.

John Peterson, the young son of Beech Peterson, was before Judge Hanley this afternoon on complaint of his grandmother, Mrs. Richeson. The boy’s mother is dead and he" has been making his home with his grandmother during the absence of Mr. Peterson in Kansas City. The grandmother complained that the boy would not mind her and asked to have the court take him in charge under the juvenile court law. The sheriff found the boy climbing a tree to escape him and took him in charge. The case was continued until July 21st and the clerk was instructed to communicate with his father in the meantime, explaining the circumstances to him, and advising him to look after his son. The boy is no worse than hundreds of others and all he seems to lack is a home with proper surroundings. Mr. Peterson has been in Kansas City for some time working at his trade of painting. Some 'time ago he was knocked down by an automobile and has not yet fully recovered from his injuries.
