Four boys bound over for unlawful riding on hand car
Harry Russell Frank Shuler Spencer Conley and Ivan McGuire of Pacific Junction were bound over to the September grand jury on charges of unlawfully riding a Burling ton hand car between the Junction and Glenwood on the night of April 17. Arraigned last week in Justice Day's court at Glenwood, they waived preliminary hearing and were released on $100 bonds each, arrested at the instance of railroad detective Jim Harrison. The offense is serious because the hand car was left near the track side and a fast train could have struck the obstruction, causing a wreck.
