Not coming fast enough he fired a shot into the ground when out from the hole came William Woods, aged Is. and Michael Nagel. 19. They were placed under ar rest and brought to the station. A search l of the place later revealed a comfortably | fitted up retreat. The following articles were found in the place: Four dry goods boxes, some lumber and a clothes basket the property of Henry Perry. who identi. fed Nagel as one of the thieves; some honey and a part of beehive. which had been stolen from James Eeid; a horse blanket belonging to c. A. Bailey and many other articles. This morning the boys said they accidentally discovered the place and that it was built by two boy. ! who had escaped from the state reform school. Judge Root found them guilty or the two counts of theft from Messrs Perry an oBailey and sentenced them to thirt! days on each count. Woods took an appea and his father furnished bonds.

 Month.
 The friends of Miss Emma Tinkham who was sentenced to state pris n by Judge Ralph Wheeler last March for man. slaughter in causing the death of her illegi- timate child. are much surprised to learn that Miss Tinkham is about to become a mother again. The women assistants at the prison became convinced some time ago that she was in this condition and she acknowledged their suspicious were correct and that a child would be born the coming month
 An affidavit by Miss Tinkham. witnessed by Edward G. Fox and Warden Wood bridge. charges Henry D. Clark of Ber- nardston. Mass. as the father of the child. Warden Woodbridge submitted this docu- ment to the prison directors and afterward filed 1t with the selectmen of Hartford, as the town will be obliged to support the child when old enough to leave it's mother, if relatives make no arrangement.
