Some days ago Harvey Thayer, an
old and hitherto respected citizen Of
Garden City, was arrested on the
charge of taking indecent liberties
with thirteen year old girl who was
placed in his family by the state au-
thorities several years ago. The girl
recently told her story and the action
was the result. The hearing was set
for Friday, and County Attorney
Hughes appeared for the state and
A. r. Pau for the defendant. The
state agent had taken the girl back
to Minneapolis on hearing Of the
charge, and could not be present yes
terday. so the hearing was continued
until Aug. 21st, which is one week
from today.
Thayer denies the charge. He is
about seventy-six years of age, and his
wife a young woman. Opinion in
the neighborhood seems to be divided
on the matter.

Quohogue, Long Island, at an early
hour this morning and her entire crew,

thirty miles an hour, and a surf was
rolling upon the beach. The vessel
