YOUNG THIEF MADE LARGE HAUL TODAY

The William Duning and Son, locksmith store, 43 North Eighth street, was robbed of $32 this morning by a small boy, name unknown, who about 10 o'clock slipped in the front door, raided a desk drawer in the rear of

jthe store proper and made his escape

through the rear entrance. He was stopped in the rear room by Mr. Dun-

ling. The boy said he wanted to ask ' the price of bicycle tires. Duning ans

wered and the boy left. Then Duning discovered the theft. The boy was white, about 12 years old and dressed in brown suit and cap. Mr. Duning and his son Raymond, were in the rear of the store when the theft was committed. After answering the young lad's questions Mr. Duning went to the front of the store and discovered his loss. He ran out the rear entrance after the young thief but could not find him. Then he returned and reported the matter to the police. Police Chief Gormon with the consent of Mr. Duning will allow the young culprit to return the money and escape prosecution, but states if he is forced to ferret out the guilty party he will send the boy to the reformatory. Parents are asked to assist in the search.
