1963 Juvenile gang broken . . .

Seven juveniles responsible for a rash of break-ins in the district and city over the past few months, appeared in juvenile court last week.

Stores and establishments in the area broken into by these juveniles were Marysville Motors, Marysville Elementary School, Blarchmont Grocery, McKim High School (entered twice), Marysville Meat Market, Esso Station and one car that was recovered undamaged.

His Honor, Juvenile Court Judge W.E. Leaman in his summary prior to handing down the adjudication, expressed the courts concern over what could almost be termed a crime wave by this group of juveniles. His first concern was to the boys themselves, and the breakdown in family relations that would result in these serious crimes; and secondly the responsibility to the public and the taxpayer.

Magistrate Leaman dealt individually with each boy handing out sentences of 1 year probation plus restitution of goods not recovered, to five; and two sentences of not less than 6 months duration in the Boys Industrial School. The latter were repeaters in juvenile court.

It is a hard thing to see youngsters involved in activities outside the law. We are more than fortunate in our district in lack of such instances, however cases as the above do occur. Magistrate Leaman's adjudication was more than generous considering the seriousness and number of offences involved. At another time or place the offenders might not get off so lightly. It is hoped that this report will stimulate some thought, primarily of the great harm done to both family and child by such actions. For the child a mark that will follow him through life, for the family recriminations and heartache . . think before acting. Is it worth it'??

What was it?? - Strange animal sighted in Marysville!

Last evening just at dusk Mrs. Laurie Wesche, Oak Ave., Marysville, saw a very large cat in her yard. It was larger than a cocker spaniel and of orangy grey color, ears appeared to be about 3" and it had a bob tail and very large paws. It did not appear too wild, but when spoken to moved out her yard and into the yard behind your editor's house.

No, we did not see it and we don't fancy meeting up with it in the wee hours. From the description it could be a bobcat or the game warden thinks maybe a lynx, which have been seen in the area.

We would like to know if anyone else saw this strange cat or if perchance, someone in Marysville has an abnormally large cat of this description. The game warden further stated that the lynx will not harm children and is not usually destroyed.

If you have information of such an animal, will you please phone Mrs. L. Wesche or The Daily Bulletin - 427-2233.
