Show YOUTH OF 13 IS I DARING BURGULAR I Admits to Entering Five or Six H Local Business Establishment! H During Night Time. H As a Sequel to some live or six ilar- H lllf burglariei which have been per- M petrated In Cedat City during the M past three weeks, Warren Pringhurst, M the l.t-year old step son of Morris Bringhurst, was taken into custody H last Tuesday evening, while he was PJ entertaining a party of his friends at M B theatre Dart) at the I'horley. At H tentlon WM attracted to the lad by PH Ins prodigal expenditure of money, M and Sheriff Kroy.l took the liy into H custody. To the Sheriff and City M Marshal the boy admitted to the bur- M laiy of the Cedar City Drug Store H in I the Biederman market last Mon M day night and to at least three other M burglaries within the past three weeks M besides the theft of $2.75 from Mrs. H A. I,. Palm, who had taken him in H and supplied him with breakfast and M a PPJ The boy's parents state that he is M an incorrigible and are anxious that M they be relieved of the responsibility PH of raising him. The case will go be- H fore the Juvenile Court in due time. M The returns from the burglaries U have not been ofer lucratife. So far M as could be ascertained the thief ob- M lamed nothing whatever from the M Drug Store. The youthful burglar M was evidently after cash only, and H the change was all locked up in the safe. At Biederman's he obtained r0 H pennies which were done up in rolls of M Uf pennies each. The prepious burg- WU laries were scarcely more lucrative. M Pear entrances doors and win- M dows have been his long suit. The merchants and husiiiess men of V W i Cedar City should profit by this in I expensive lesson, and see that some H i more adequate protection is afforded M for their places of business. When a fkl I Im)- 13 years oh cui enter of them H in succession and get off with it. it is M certainly time that more effectual ""'" -""H measures of protection were adopted. H A Utth noney could profitably be ex H ; penUed Q bolts and bars ami Ix-tter M locks, and it is probable that a night watchman might save more than the H amount .,( r,j8 salary. We suggest : that the business men take the mat- I ter under advisement. M aH |
