Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 286, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 December 1911 — Several "Jaeks, the Hair Clippers,” Brought Before Juvenile Judge. [ARTICLE]

Several "Jaeks, the Hair Clippers,” Brought Before Juvenile Judge.

“Jack, the hair clipper,” has broken loose in Rensselaer. Not one Jack, but a number of them. Their victims have fortunately not been girjp or they might not have fared so tightly as they did at the hands of Juvenile Judge Hanley. .TrtUmt Officer Steward, who is also the juvenile police officer, brought Roy Koepkpy, Orphie Gant, Will Elgelsbach and Iler, Walker before the court Monday afternoon. They were charged with having captured boys en route to class parties and clipped their hair. Chester Zea was the complainant. Judge Hanley gave the boys a lecture and ordered that they be kept at hame after 7:30 o’clock in the evening. In the most eases the hair clipping has not been a very serious offense, only small locks i>efng cut from the heads of boys en route to parties, but on a few occasions the handling of and one dr two , boys are said to have had almost all their hair cut qff. As is the rule when a practice of this kind is not broken up it soon runs to extremes and a repetition would probably bring a much more severe punishment. \ '
