(Special to the Press,)
Ionia, Mich., Jan, 6. - Sam Burman, fifteen years old, is regarded at his home in Portland as a holy terror. He's big and strong and good looking.
Sam came of his own accord to Probate Judge Webster and asked to be sent to the reform school at Lansing.
"I think a year down there would make me a good boy," said Sam, "and I want to learn."
"Look here, Sam," said the judge, "You go back home and try to make good-and I'm betting that you'll succeed," Sam will report to the Judge regularly as to how things are faring.
Sam was the owner of Burman's Standard Service - Standard gas and oil located at 206 E Grand River in Portland, Michigan.
