"I am under arrest and will have
to go to a reform school unless you
send me a ticket to come home on,''
wa the frank message Louis Clssel,
who says he is 1C year of age, but
does not look much older than 14,
wired bis mother, Mrs. Mary W. Cla
sel, of Annum, Md., Monday. The lad
was arrested Saturday night by Po
liceman Woodward as he was about
to board a freight train. He said
when. taken to jail that be was on
bis way to San Francisco.
The boy, who left home In July,
and bad beaten bl way across tbe
continent, wa thoroughly penitent
Monday and informed Chief of Po
lice Shaw that he wanted to go home.
He said be had worked in Billings
and. Forsythe, Mont., and had lived
in Portland several weeks.
"What were you doing with the
two pistols the policeman found on
you 7 asaea tne cniet.
wen, you see i naa tnem to snoot
rabbits with," replied the prisoner.
"Often when put off train out in the
country I had nothing to eat and had
to provide myself food. Rabbits were
the easiest animals for me to kill. I
killed five one afternoon."
The chief urged the prisoner to
telegraph his father for help, but tbe

aid him quicker, especially if she
knew of his plight. That was why be
telegraphed that he was In Jail and
would be sent to a reform school un
less she sent for bim.
"My people are well-to-do", said
Clssel, "and there waa no reason for
my running away from home other
than that I wanted to see the West
I had beard so much' about tbiacoun-
) try that I decided to see it as soon
as possible. It like It, too, but I
guess a kid like I am would be bet
ter off at home."
Interior millers are still paying a
premium for wheat over prevailing
prices at tidewater. There is also
all sorts of talk regarding tbe pur
chases of tidewater interests, much
of it being conflicting to such a de
gree that It is almost impossible to
state definitely what the exact mar
ket is.
It Is known positively that sales of
club have been made In the Big Bend
section within the last 25 hours at a
price that means at least 88 l-2c a
bushel tidewater, track basis, but
nothing over 86 cents is being offer
ed her9. On the other hand, country
holders are asking a 90 cent basis
for club.
Activity in the wheat market Is not
nearly so pronounced as for some
time recently. Formerly the call
was confined almost entirely to the
bluestem, but now club and forty-fold
are taking the lead, the latter as a
rule being quoted 2c a bushel above
the former.
