Source, Rutland Vt.Herald--Fri. April 10, 1908. RUNAWAY BOY COMES HOME. John, the 12 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Carnell of Crescent street (Rutland), who left home two weeks ago and who wrote home from the residence of relatives in Staten Island, N.Y., asking his father for money to pay his car fare home, returned last evening. He said that he had left home just for the fun of it; that he had but $ 7 when starting out; that he had no trouble in finding his aunt in Staten Island and that he had a fine time. He brought with him a baseball bat and a pair of boxing gloves and many other things dear to the heart of a boy.
