Young Men Who Were Sent To Reformatory Are Pa.oled.

Quite a number, /especially some of the young people, will remember two young men who spent the summer of 1913 as guests of Sheriff Hoover in the county jail. Their names as given were Jack and Dick Montrose. They had robbed a jew elry. «tore at Kentland and stores at several other places and were arrested at South Bend and sent to the reformatory in October, 1913, from Kentland. Their sentences were for 1 to 8 years. They had confessed to Sheriff Hoover that they were under assumed names and had fallen into bad company and engaged in burglary. They were about twnety years of age and showed refinement. They told Mr. Hoover their correct names and that they lived at Gates, N. Y. Sheriff Hoover a few days ago received a letter from James Forbes, father of Armond Forbes, one of the'boys, asking that clothing they had left here be sent to them at their former home, Oates, N. Y., and the clothing and some other things were sent today. The, boys have been paroled to their fathers and quite probably wilL turn out to be good men. It was fortunate for them that they were caught before they had become deeply steped in crime.
