this morning when Henry Gaucher of
| Quinebaug, Conn, an 11-year-old boy,
ran away with a team belonging to liv-
eryman Jesse Brown, and hired by
Maurice Silverman, local clothing
agent. The boy appropriated the team
and led Deputy Sheriff Maurice Glare,
who was sent after him, a merry chase
| before he was captured. The boy will
be tried at a juvenile session of the
court. and in the meantime is in the
custody of an agent of the board of
lunacy and charity.

o'clock this forenoon. The ceremony

| the water works had all he could do
last night. He got all that was COM
ling to him in the shape of manual la
Dor. Some time during the night, or
| early in the evening" the lead blew out
of the supply pipe that connects the
pumping station at the lake with the
/ standpipe. The leak was a bad one and
many gallons Of water We're lost Mr..

/ Mlcndel ~. S1ed Is certainly the
swiftest thing Webster or Dudley ever
turned OUT when there is cord of hard
wood lying idle that needs saving and
/ splitting. He got after a cord yester-
day afternoon. and the way he made
his little axe fly was big revelation.
It took him exactly six hours, or $50
minutes, to finish the cord. BY his
quick work he won SIS bet. Several
| sports have formed q local syndicate
and are willing to back Mick against
any man in Worcester county in doing
up a cord of wood. They are trying to
| get match on with a Southbridge man
called Steam saw" but they dom
know his last name, or in fact mis- sir
name. but his fame has preceded him.
Shea hackers are willing to wager a
couple hundred on him. Mick is the
idol of Webster with the saw.

over the action Of the board CT select
men in throwing down Hector Dupre

merly a citizen here, returned home
