Fathers Place Sons in Jail
G.T. Vaughan and Thomas E. Farmer, two white men who live on Oregon Hill, marched their two sons, Thomas Vaughan and Walter Lee Farmer, into the Second Police Station between 9 and 10 o ‘clock last night and swore out warrants against the lads, charging them with being incorrigible and beyond the control of their parents.

From what can be learned regarding these boys, they are simply bad. Tommy and Walter live on Oregon Hill, and are members of the famous organization known as the “Oregon Hill Cats”, a juvenile fraternity that enjoys the old custom of throwing stones at everything and everybody, and of committing mischievous and nasty little acts which tend to make burdensome the lives of those persons who are thrown into contact with them.
