7-YEAR-OLD BOYS LOOT OGDEN STORE j Leonard Young and Boy Wilson, Paroled From Industrial School, Again in Trouble. Special to The Tribune. OGDEN, Nov. 20. Leonard Young and Roy Wilson, each 7 years of age. are In serious trouble again. This time the youngsters robbed the Woolworth store in this city. One of the boys, by standing stand-ing upon the shoulders of ,the other, reached a transom, climbed through it and dropped down on the inside. He then unlocked the door and let his partner part-ner In. Some time later the boys emerged, loaded down with merchandise of varied description, including two pocket books and 165f pennies. They were seen by a policeman and their arrest followed. Just what to do with the boys is a problem. Some weeks ago they entered the home of Joseph Middleton while the family was in California and wrecked the interior, in addition to stealing a large amount of canned fruit. For this they were committed to the state Industrial school, but owing to their extreme youth they were soon paroled. They have been attending the Pingree school, but today played hookey and tonight to-night broke into the Woolworth store. Some time ago they stole a surrev and horse.
