KTCHITA FALLS. Tex.. May
10. Sin Roba, Indian youth who
(s now 18, has come back to civ
ilisation after living for five yeara
(n the mountains with only a wild
wolf for company.
When Sin was 13, his father
was forced to leave his home in
an Apache reservation because ot
smallpox. The boy and his moth
er decided to go along. They
headed for the mountains. With
in a short time both the father
and mother died, leaving Sin to
shift for himself.
Officials who discovered him
near the Rio Grande, brought
him here. . In broken Spanish he
told a thrilling story ot his ex
periences. After his parents died
he captured a wolf cub which he
taught to help him in the hunt
for food. He was naked when
captured., and refused, at first, to
put on any clothing or eat cooked
food. '
