They had Just started for a drive In
covered buggy when their horse became
unmanageable from fright occasioned by
a passing electric car. The animal SHE'D
to one side OF the street, breaking the
whiflietree, springing an axle ana over
turning the carriage landing both occu-
pants on the sidewalk.
The horse ran down Hartford avenue
across the square and up Manton avenue,
where he was caught by young man at
the corner of Delaine street. The horse
was cut about his legs and the carriage
was considerably damaged.

watchman at the Wey bossett Mills dis
covered a number OF young men in the
yard OF the building adjoining the
Church of the Messiah eating. lie could
not tell what their early morning meal
consisted OF, as the distance between him
and the mill premises and the boys was
too great, but he decided that all was not
right, and notified the police OF the cir
cnmstances. Officers from the Sixth sta
tion proceeded to investigate, and ar
rested Matthew Hill aud Thomas and
Alexander McDermott.
A search for the premises where the
break was made located the place at
Joseph Siddle's grocery, 1862 Westminster
street, where entrance had been effected
over a transom OF door leading of
Westminster street.
II is possible that the entrance was
made durng the change in patrolmen, as
the store is situated near an electric light.
The iron bars that protect the glass In
the doors proved perfect ladder to the
transom above, which was over and was
not guarded with rods as is the other
transoms in the stores adjoining.
This morning the boys pleaded not
guilty, and will be given trial tomorrow.
AT the station they were overheard to
say "We will not give the colored fellow
away" which indicated that there was

OF corned beef and e in pennies from the
