10, who escaped from the State reform school
at Portland, Me-, on Aug, Both, taking with
him, it is said, 500 and a check belonging to
one of the officers of the institution, was
arrested in Charlestown last night" The
Newbert boy was committed to the reform

with Mr.. Gushee until his disappearance
about the first of September and had been
at work in the store, putting up goods, and
doing chores around the house. The day he
disappeared Mr.. Gushee left home in the
morning to be away two days. Lewellyn
went to the pasture for the cows at 8 p. m.
since which time he has not been seen here

roll of checks and cash he had left in a
drawer in the room where he and Newbert
slept, and did not find it. $50 of the amount
consisted of checks, the balance, $40 only, in
bank bills. Newbert is very intelligent
boy, but born criminal, and we were in
constant fear while he was here that he
would burn our buildings or commit some
