FRED SCIROTT C0NFESSES
STOLE THREE SOLID STLVER BARS
 WEIGHING YS OUNCES.

Was Approhended by Detective Cowles While Trying to Sell Them--He is a Gem tlclnaniy Looking Fellow and is setrotted to Young Woman Who Visited Him at the Lo Loclsup--Evidently Very Sad Case Other siIverwnre Found nt the Prisoners
 Room.
 A man by the name of Fred Schrott was detected in the act of endeavorinS to sell three solid silver bars yesterday morning. Detective Sergeant Cowles discovered the man ill & Congress ave- nue store and after a few questions became convinced that the bars had been stolen. Schrott became very in- dlGnant when arrested and although he could not speak very good English, managed to inform the officer that he was no thief. Detective CoWles was not satisfied to take the mans word and decided to investigate the case fur. ther. He learned that Schrott former ly worked as a silver platter for the A. T. Towle & Sons company silver works of Greenfield, Mass. Schrott through du lllleIpfSIeE Sdlu lndl Ile ONlIeu tlAS bars.
 Together they weighed six and one- half pounds troy weight. Each bar is about four inches long, two broad and one-half inch thick. A telegram was immediately sent to the Towle works asking for information concerning the prisoner and whether any silver bars had been missed from the place. About , o'clock in the afternoon an answ=r was received: It stated that Fr~, Schrott had been employed at th works. He had left the place Decem Der 2S and although he was in a posi- tion to steal if he desired, there was nc positive knowledge that he had.
 In the meantime Detective Cowles, assisted by Detective Poronto made a visit to Schrotts room on Temple street where he was staying with a respecta- ble German family A search of the room revealed a number of solid silver spoons and other table silverware. When confronted with all this evidence Schrott broke down completely and confessed everything. He is young, fine looking German, well dressed, and does not appear to be a. thief through ana through, Ills lnantletS are Selllle- manly and it is believed he comes from 8 good family. During the afternoon he was visited at the station by two young women, who brought him some thing to eat. They were also well dress ed and bore every mark of respectabil- ity.
 One of the young women is said to be fhe affianced wife of Schrott and is also from Greenfield. When they left the lookup they were weeping historically. The one said to be betrothed to the prisoner is a tall, queenly looking bru nette, with a pleasing cast of features. Schrott will be held until all the facts in the case have been communicated to the Greenfield police. Then if they come after him he will be surrendered to the Massachusetts authorities.

The BGbo Comedy Company opened its
weeks engagement here, Monday evening
with good performance of "A Black
Flag" The audience was large in spite
Of the cold, and the company as whole
was well received. The repertoire for the
remainder of the week promises TO furnish
some excellent entertainment.
The play given, Monday evening was
full of interest and was As a whole
well received Harry Fielding as come
dian was full of life and a certain humor
which was very good. His portrayal OF
the Jew was well done, and received sew
eral cncorcs
As Harry Glyndon, Mr. Highly was
very strong, and took the part in an ex-
cellcnt manner
r. j. Quinn, as Owen Glendon, was
also well received
Miss Lytelle did some most acceptable
work. and little adverse criticism can be
found with her acting Monday evening.
The songs by Miss Pauline and Miss
Diamond and also by Dir. Fielding were
very taking and their future selections
will be awaited with much interest.
The orchestra is first class, leaving
nothing wanting on the musical pro
grammc.
Taken as a whole, the performance was
vey satisfactory, and the company can be
well assured OF good houses during the
week
This afternoon, at 2l5 o'clock, TTsThe
Great Diamond Mystery will be given
to be followed in the evening by The In

honor, and | believe it Is working in that
direction. The true sportsman will not
bang away at any deer he may see. He is
looking for a good specimen, and he
wants that or none.
81 knew Of one singular instance of
this sort. A man wanted a moose with
antlcrs OF just such formation. For
three months he chased the woods of
course meeting many animals. At last
he saw what he wanted and he got it, too
What he paid out he never would tell me-
but it must have been something enor-
nous, as his wife accompanied him dur
ing his trip.
II knew another man, with IA compan-
ion, who spent $500 over one salmon, and
then said he'd got his moneys worth. 1t
is the fun, not the expense, that such
people figure. This man had complete
retinue of servants-a regular body guard.
AS rule, those coming from away are
much more In sympathy with the States
laws in this matter than the residents are.
Regarding the increase of game, to my
mind there is no question of it. A friend
of mine who formerly rs q resident of
Aroostook, but who has been absent from
the State for over 90 years, said, on his
return, this last fall, that where there
was then one deer, thcra are now 100.

be made in all directions by the wardens,
especially in the sections of the lumber
camps, where there has always been much
slaughter Of the Zig game for eating pur-
poses.
"A sharp lookout will also be kept to
prevent the Canadian poachers from car
rying on their nefarious custom OF crust
hunting, for the deer SKINS, along the
border sections. The task is an almost
herculean one, but the work is being done
with system and care that, think, can
not but have the best results.

THE COOLEST YET.
Mercury Drops 10 18 Below in This City. at
IA. NJ. Monday.

Yesterday s cold was actually bitter,
which has visited us this winter And
the wind which blew along with it
tended to make it very unpleasant to say
the least.
There are just three things which will
make some people run; e fire, a train,
and such cold as yesterday furnished.
In sheer desperation, as the unrclenting
cold would begin TO get the upper hand,
the victim would SILVER, then mutter to
himself, and then run from sheer lack of
something better to do.
Eighteen degrees below zero at Z
O'Clock in the morning which was the ex-
tent Of the downfall OF mercury, Monday,
signifies much; but is nothing in the way
of standard to judge by when compared
with frozen pipes. of which an unusually
large number has been reported. The
frost, too, has been exceptionally beauti-
full, in some places, especially on the win
dows of the electric cars. One office
holder stated that frost formed on his
window, Monday, for the first time, to his
personal knowledge, for Is years.
But, after all the cold is endurable. but
when doused over US, right on top OF such
weather as last week, it is too much Of
a good thing, and an unwarranted strain
upon mans temperament, elastic as it is.
Weather, has, in this temperate zone of
ours, been the object of vituperation ever
since the Pilgrims landed, how much pre-
viously, by the aborlgines, is to US only
a matter of conjecture. And, it is quite
safe 10 prophesy that, as long as the hu
man race exists there will be plenty who
Will find fault over what is and what is
not.

who skurries along, half persisted with
the cold, who thinks to himself and gives
thanks that 1t Ism worse than it IS
