Hazen Hitchell, a young man from near Springvale, was placed in the county jail a few days ago by Sheriff Novak, charged with neglecting to register June 5th. Young Mitchell, it is claimed, was twenty-one years of age May 23rd, however the family record in the Bible does not agree with the statements made concerning his age. This record, which shows evidence of having been changed, gives the date of Hazen's birth as May 23, 1898 which would make him but twenty years of age. The school register does not agree with the record in the family Bible and the statement is made that the latter record has been changed in order that young Mitchell would escape registration for another year.
