He was captured by Marin County Deputy Sheriff John Golf of Stinson Beach and turned over to the Fairfax police, who in turn lodged him in the Marin County Juvenile Hall in Lucas Valley. MISSING THREE WEEKS He had disappeared Jan. 8, the day before he was supposed to appear at a Juvenile Court hearing.

Police also wanted to talk to him about the loot from a Fairfax home that was abandoned at a camp site they found in looking for the boy. The youth, an experienced camper, took with him clothing, fishing gear, food, a sleeping bag and $78. He told his captors he intended staying on the mountain indefinitely.

The Guild dispute centers around union security. The Team sters, reportedly near settlement with the newspapers, have been concerned with wages and work ing conditions.
