Willie Grips and Bert Savage, who
were sentenced to the reform school dur
ing their minority, at Bath, Monday, had
undoubtedly been excited to the pitch of
mind they have appeared to be in for the
past year or more by reading the cheap
literature of tho day. The evening Of
Fast day, they. together with another
boy named Eddie Dill, forced an entrance
into the powder house at the city farm,
by drilling a hole in the wall with file,
and to show the reckless spirit which
prompted them, they lighted 20 matches
in that inflammable place where is stored
a very large amount of different kinds OF
powder Some of the burnt matches
were laying within two feet of a large bag
of giant powder 1t is a wonder they
were not all three blown to atoms. They
stole two bags and one key of powder,
then went to the river near Mr.. George
Rogers, and stole boat. The Dill boy
refused to accompany the other two boys,
who set sail down river. On their way
own they broke into the depot at the
Dresden campground then moved down
river At Phippsburg they broke into
another building and then went to Pop
ham Beach. entered another building and
wero finally caught, taken to Bath, given n
hearing and sentenced to the reform school.
The Dill boy was arrested and given u
trial before Judge Larrabee and would
have been sent to the reform school had
not the boys mother plead so hard and
the judge allowed him to go home placing
him on probation for one year.
