HE HAS GOOD TRAITS
George Young, Thirteen-Year-Old Boy, Before Judge York
George Young was yesterday before Superior Judge York charged with incorrigibility. He is 13 years old and his father alleges that the boy is beyond his control. It was at first decided to commit the boy to Whittier, but the inmates of the institution are at present camped at Catalina on their annual vacation, besides it was thought best to give the youngster another trial. The case was continued to September 14th.
The boy proved himself to be very bright, and the court was loth to commit him. He was willing to go to the state school for three years, but did not like the idea of remaining until he is of age. The elder Young is a paper hanger and declared that he could not pay for his son's maintenance while at Whittier.
