For some time past such edibles as candy
and cigars packages have been missed by
Station Agent Graham from cars standing
on the side track. After some observation
he obtained the names of some 20 young
sters whom he thought might be implicated
in the plot. Then after an investigation a
hearing was given Grover McKeefe, Genie
Davis and Bert Briggs. Justice Edgerton
sentenced Davis and McKeefe to the In
dustrial school at Vergennes for the re-
mainder OF their minority. Briggs was
given jury trial, and it was proven that he
was not in the place on the day that he was
accused OF committing the act. Perhaps
that this may be an example for the village
vandals TO take care and shun.
