New Castle, Sept. H. Two youth
full burglars were caught in this city
yesterday, and their plumber was re-
covered. Previous TO making some
repairs to his merry go round Tuesday
afternoon, the owner placed his ring
and watch and other articles in a
cracker box and secured the lid with
nail. The box was opened by boy
named johnson, who took a watch, a
pipe, ring and several articles OF
small value. The loser reported the
matter to Mayor Boyd. Yesterday af-
ternoon, whom about to take a bath at
the river below the battery, the owner
of the stolen articles saw a small 10y
named Dennis with pipe in his
mouth. He collared the boy and hand
ed him over to Officer Harrington. To
the latter the boy made confession.
He said that young johnson had taken
the things and afterwards conducted
the officer to the school green and dug
the watch up from where it had boon
buried. From this place they then
went to the manure pile in the rear of
George Tobin's stable, and there recov-
cred the rest Of tho articles. The boys
will not be prosecuted on account Of
their youth, the eldest being only
about 7 years old.
