SEOUIN GA2Btf 3, 1969 Tfjlhg it ij I 1 byUrtSchlaft News Editor i In a burglary at the AdWr Chrysler Plymouth Company 112 W. Mountain the week before last, a 30-30 Caliber rifle was taken from a Texas PJtrol car parked inside the service garage. This week an alert citizen reported two young boys prowling near his home. Patrolmen Mike Rosas and James DeLaGarza were dispatched to the complainant's I neighborhood, picked up a 15 and 16 year old boy and charged them with curfew violation. further investigation revealed that one of the boys had been (convicted for a number of vio- and burglaries, and had just I been placed on probation in uary.

The youth then was also charg- ed With violation of probation asmuch as he had in his posses- I slon a 25 caliber pistol. When picked up the young sus- pects were dressed appropriately I were dressed appropriately I enough for burglaries: one wore a pair of white athletic socks over his hands and the other wore black leather gloves. Cited for curfew violation, the 15 year old was ordered I to appear before the juvenile court, I Two nights later, Seguin police stopped an older car to investi- Rate defective tail lights. Upon walking up to the car 4 the officer saw the boy charg- with curfew violation; and at the same, time noted a rifle on the back seat. This time the 15 year old £was in company with another youth.

Taken to police headquarters, the serial number of the rifle on file with the City police checked out with the rifle stolen from the Texas way Patrol car. Both youths were filed on 'Icharges of burglary over S50 and ordered to appear before the juvenile court, So, ho hum, there'll probably be two more probationers walking, or driving the streets of Seguin soon; ready, willing and able to perform their night time acts in another part of the community. The mounting question of the day in Seguin is: When criminals are placed on probation in the City and in the County of Guadalupc, to whom do they report? Perhaps we should fix them good! Make them go about with a sign on their backs, or an arm band proclaiming: "Lookee here, I'm on probation!" Roger Ramirez in 1ST Marines Marine Corporal Roger Ramirez, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jose Ramirez of Route 1, Cl- bolo, and husband of the former Miss Josefa S.
