A pecu liar Incident occurred in the lo cal station Monday night when a 9-year-old boy was found roaming the streets of Salem, was brought in by one of the officers. The lad was about nine years of age, that being the only bit of information the officers were able to get from the lad. He did nform them that he had bummed his way to this city from Port land by riding the rear bumper of one of the motor stages. He refused to give his name. home, or cause for being In Salem. Later officers decided to give the voung chap a lodging place over night in the city hall and contln ue the questioning until next day. as the youth appeared to be quite tired; Early this morning he was wide awake and officers continued to luestlon him. but of no avail. He -efused to answer any questions. Threatened with a sentence In the state reform school, he merely asked them to explain said Insti tution to him as he had never heard of it before. When in formed that it was a place where home were kept until they reach 21 years of age. he boldly an swered that he would rather go there than let his folks know of his venture. No threat seemed severe enough to make the lad give out any Information, and he seemed a putxle to local police. At about 10 o'clock yesterday morning he Informed one of the police that he wished to talk to Chief of Police Mlnto. but since Chief Minto was out of town at the time. Sergeant Thompson re sponded. Being discontented with his home at the city hall, he let out the whole story to the sergeant.
