Boy, 5, Carries Out Threat; Packs Up And Leaves for Hills
Pasadena, Calif., March 7 [1951] – (AP) – Five-year-old Robert Tripp is back home from a mountain climbing expedition.
Robert told his mother, Mrs. Dorothy Tripp, he intended to climb a nearby mountain. But she thought nothing of it until, some time later, she noticed that he and his little red wagon were missing.
Two miles away police caught up with the young adventurer. In his red wagon were two pillow slips stuffed with extra clothing, a quart of water and a bottle of vitamin pills.
