Untitled Washington Standard October 25, 1907
Ollie McVittie, son of a farmer residing near Yelm, aged 16, departed from home Sunday, and began his travels by taking a wheel belonging to Mrs. Clark, a neighbor, and $5.50 of money from his mother’s drawer. He left the wheel at Yelm and took the train for Tenino, where he was apprehended and sent home. It seems that many boys have started out at a less age and made a better beginning.
