Leaves St. Joseph; Taken Into Custody at Monon.

Monon News. James Sigler, aged 13, of New Air bayn, was found here Thursday of ast week and taken in charge by Marshal Irons. The boy’s story was to the effect that he had been sent to St. Joseph college and being still in the grades he was naturally unable to grapple with higher studies as required by the Rensselaer institution. He therefore had started to >eat his way home and had reached this point on his way. The marshal cept him over night at his home, made up a purse, and bought him a ticket to New Albany, for which place he est at 11:30 a. m. Friday. Sigler said his father was a Louisville clothing merchant and had been responsible for sending him to college before completing the grade studies.
