An Honest Boy of the City

Joe White Ten Years Makes Effort to Return Money

Is Same Boy Who Offered to Give Skin in Skin-Grafting Operation at Hospital

There is one  honest boy in the city of Fort Dodge and he is the same little fellow who offered to contribute a little part of his cuticle to the little girl at the hospital in the recent skin grafting operation.

This same boy with a companion was walking along the street last night and found a $5 bill. He was at once greatly concerned to find the owner of the money and it was not long until it was restored. The money was the property of a young woman who works at the home of Sheriff Oleson. The boy who found it is Joe White, the ten-year-old boy of Thomas White, a traveling man of this city.
