STOLE RIFLES AND A WATCH.
BrattleborO Boy Under Arrest at
NOrthampton--TrIed to Pawn the
Stolen Articles

A BrattIebOrO Boy Under Arrest at
NOrthampton--TrIed to Pawn the
stolen Articles.
A young man giving his name as w. A.
Morris OF Brattleboro, appeared at E. p.
Harvey's pawn-b brokers' office in Lambie
building at Northampton, Mass, Monday
While Mr.. Harvey was engaged with a
customer in the private office, Morris
walked off with rifle that was in the of
flee. Mr.. Harvey missed the rifle, but be-
fore he had time to instigate a search
Morris" reappeared with the same rifle
and wanted to borrow money on it. Mr..
Harvey recognized the rifle and told the
youth that he guessed he would keep it.
The stranger did not stop to argue the
case, but beat a hasty retreat. Mr.. Harvey
at once notified the police. 1t appeared
that the fellow had another rifle on the
elevator which he probably intended to
borrow money on. When the police APP
peared it seemed that this was the man
they had been looking for all day, that he
had stolen the rifle and a gold watch in
Northampton. Mr.. Harvey loaned him
money on the watch upon his first visit,
and the watch was identified The police
followed "Morris" and Officer Stevens ar
rested him at the railroad station. He had
rife with him at the time. 1t was
learned later that the young man is Earl
A. Corbett of Pearl street, Brattleboro.
He stole the rifle from his cousin in West
| Springfield and the watch from the cousin S
mother. He has been detained by the po-
| lice.
Corbett is about II years old, and after
the death of his father, who was a dentist
in the West, he came to Brattleboro to
| live with relatives. He attended the
| High school until short time ago
His relatives are people of excellent
standing, and his unaccountable actions
within few days have caused them great
| grief He is a member of Fuller Battery
| Corbett was arraigned in the district
court at Northampton Tuesday, charged
with stealing a watch and a rifle from rela
tives in West Springfield and for attempt
ing to steal rifle from f. p. Harvey. He
was held under $500 bonds for sentence
Saturday and committed to jail.

$1,000 SAVED A YEAR.
Important Reductions In the Local In
surance Rates.

The New England Insurance exchange
notified the Windham county board of fire
underwriters Friday afternoon of further
reduction in fire insurance rates in Brattle-
boro and Bellows Falls with the exception
of Flat street in Brattleboro.
This last reduction affects private dwell
lings, and stables with the dwellings, with
in 500 feet of a hydrant, except farm and
summer property. The change was de-
cided upon by the exchange April 8 and
promulgated April u and fixes the mini
mum rate at % cents per 800 for one
year, so cents for three years and 70 cents
for five years. This is reduction of %
per cent from the old rates.
The reduction of 20 per cent on buildings
and 10 per cent on contents, promulgated
Feb. 10, also applies to specifically rated
dwellings situated in Brattleboro and Bel
lows Falls with the exception of those on
Flat street. No pro rata cancellation or
rebate on account of the reduction in rates
will be allowed except when special author
ization is printed with the rate. The saw
ing thus effecte practically all of which
will be realized in the village, will amount
to from $500 to $1,000 yearly. The yearly
saving effected by the February reduction
was about $4,000 making the total saving
about $1,000.
The wish of the local insurance commit
tee was to secure horizontal reduction of
25 per cent In order that this wish might
be realized further reduction of five per
cent on mercantile and hotel property and
of u per cent on contents would be neces-
sary but the committee were given to I'M
derstand at the last conference in Brattle-
boro that no further reduction on this
class of property would be allowed.
1t would seem, therefore, that the limit
of reduction has been reached unless some
improvements are made in the fire depart
ment. Whether this will be done is a
matter of conjecture. In justice to the
members of the board of fire underwriters
it should be said that the reduction of the
rates on residence property would probably
not have been secured but for their cooper
alton.

JOHN DUNToN BADLY BURNED.

His Clothes Took Fire from IA Gasoline
Brazier and He Jumped into the
VhetstOne---NIistake OF the Fire be-
pRrtment.
The fire department was called out
about s o'clock Friday evening by an
alarm from box SO, the fire being in John
Dunton's repair shop in the basement of
the Odd Fellows building near Main street
bridge. Mr. Dunton was working with a
gasoline brazier, and in reaching down to
turn out the flame his coat sleeve caught
fire. He ran to the platform on the side
of the building and from there jumped in
to MILESTONE brook thus distinguishing the
flames which had by that time burned him
badly,
Chief of Police Hall, who was near the
bridge, helped Mr., Dunton out of the
brook and then ran to the shop and eX-
tinguished the fire before it caused serious
damage. Mr.. Dunton was seriously burned
about the head and left arm. He will
probably not be able to work for several
| weeks.
On account of mistake in the indicator
at the engine house the steamer and one
hose cart went up to Chaplin street, the
drivers thinking the alarm was from box
p instead of 30.
