Small Boy in Trouble.

Lloyd Green, a 14 year old lad of Payette, was arrested Wednesday for stealing 
a bicycle belonging to Ralph Spaulding.  He was caught through stealing money 
from Wilfong & Co.’s cigar stand.

The boy had been selling papers for the cigar stand and was around it a 
considerable part of his time.  Tuesday about 100 five-cent checks were missed 
and at night a bag, containing nickels and dimes amounting to $8.30 was gone.  
Young Green was suspicioned and Wednesday was caught in the act of another 
theft be a neat trick.  

Ralph Spaulding saw his bicycle in front of the cigar stand and, although it 
had been daubed over with red enamel as a disguise, at once recognized it.  

Marshal Walton induced the lad to make a clean breast of the affair.  He 
acknowledged taking the wheel from the Christian church Monday evening and also 
taking the money, of which he had $2.15 left hidden in the weeds next to the 
billiard hall.

County Attorney F. J. Smith came down from Caldwell yesterday and will take up 
the case.
