Parsons is seventeen years old and lived
at Everett, Mass. He was employed as an
office boy, and it was part of his duty to
put the books into the safe each night.
On August ~, he was the last one i'll the
place, and it is alleged that instead Of
putting away the books and locking the
safe door, he tore away the woodwork
round the cash drawer and stole the above
mentioned amount out of envelopes that
were in the place. The envelopes were
found on table in the office the next
morning.
A note, which it is said was in his
handwriting, but bearing another name,
was also found, in which it was stated
that he had gone down East, and that he
would not return unless he was brought
back, and in closing said that would
never be. Parsons's mother died when
he was q baby and his father lived on q
ranch at Ration, New Mexico. 4 w
Parsons was brought up in Portland
and has many friends and relatives here.
He has not lived here for four or five
years; but has been here more or less. He
was very bright, capable boy, and his
friends here all supposed that he was do
ing well. His fall is a great shock to
them.

Maine Central gate keepers in Wood
fords have been considerably annoyed of
late by small boys who would chain the
gates up so that when the tender at
tempted to let them down on account
of passing train they wouldn t go
down. The boys did this with tho chain
and snap lock which the road provides
for other purposes than sport. Sunday
afternoon when the gate keeper at Spring
street lwho also controls the gate at Me-
chanic street, started to close the highway
at the latter crossing, for the special that
had been at Newport conveying officials
and doctors to the Etna accident, the gates
wouldn't go down. A little investiga-
ton the next day resulted IN the arrest of
a small boy who lives in the neighbor-
hood by City Marshal Clark. The boy
was taken to the lookup but it is under
stood that nothing further tt an whole
some fright is contemplated this time.
