Marlboro Youngster
Much Wanted.
HAD BOGUS CHECKS
And Passed Them Merrily
on the Unsuspecting.

Marlboro, Jan. 16.-Although not
more than q years old, Benjamin F.
Sharples today gave evidence of cum
ningness in dishonest methods that is
seldom seen outside of the ranks of
the more experienced criminals. The
forgery Of several checks is the crime
with which he is charged, and, like the
Arab, he has folded his tent and stolen
away-no one knows whittier
Several merchants were his victims
and the amounts of his fll-gotten
gains in each case ranged from $40 to
$40, Sharples worked for the Lake
Williams Ice Company, of which Oliver
". Howe is treasurer. He drove an
Joe wagon for the company last sum-
mer, and more recently has been en-
ployed in helping the firm to harvest
it's ice crop. In this way he became
known to many of the business men Of
the city. This morning he left Mr..
Howe's house, on Lakeside avenue,
about o'clock, and started down town.
He visited the store of Morse & Bige-
low, and there told clerk that he
owed something less than dollar and
wished to pay it. The clerk could find
HO charge against MIN. SnarpleS pro-
tested that he owed the bill and said
that he should settle the amount which
he claimed was due the firm. He ten
dered a check for SIS to the clerk
1t was accepted and the difference in
money was given Sharples. The check
was made payable to Benjamin f.

Ice Company, o. w. Howe treasurer,
and drawn on the First National Bank

Their by calling at Brokaw & Fank-
hausers shoe store and buying IS
pair of shoes. Again he made use of a
check. This time the amount called for
WIS, and he gave a $40 check, receiving
the change in return.
Each check was drawn in a manner
similar to the first one. Sharples en-
deaVored to pass one of the checks on
Thomas German, the druggist, of
whom he purchased a pipe for SO.
Again he tried to use a check Mr.
German was suspicious and sent his
clerk to the National Bank with the
suspicious paper.
Walter B. Morse. a clerk, detected
something wrong about the check and
referred it to the cashier Mr. Claflin
1t was drawn on the First National
Bank and was signed by the Lake VII
liams Ice Company, .. w. Howe treas
urer, and make payable to Sharples,
an in the first instance
George Martel, the clerk, accepted
the check and paid the difference in
change. Thomas Burke, the druggist,
was the fourth man on Sharples' visit
ing list and cashed check for $40.
w. c, Blake & Co.'S clothing store
was Sharples' fifth stopping place.
Here he bought an overcoat, endeav-
ored to communicate with Mr.. Howe,
but the telephone was not in working
order. The clerk who had brought the
check took 1t back to Mr.. German.
Sharples suddenly decided to leave and
has not been seen since. Mr.. Howe
was made acquainted with the facts
in the case, and after a little investi-
cation, discovered that is blank checks
had been taken from the middle of his
check book. The police have been no
titled.
Sharples worked in the kitchen Of the
Preston House last summer.

Is a petition which has been before the

NO formal action was taken, but

are agreeable to placing the house in
another locality, where the cost OF
land for school house purposes is with
in reason. A school house between

satisfy the committee. The petition for

Dix street was mentioned, but not dis
cussed on account Of the lateness of
the hour.

road officials recently over tract of
land adjoining his place ON Maple

and found that their land extended
seven feet on to the land which Mr..

Mr.. Wignall was Of the opinion that
the railroad was using his land while
it was the reverse. The railroad COM

near future.
Warren A. Harris began today to cut
ice at Lake Singletary. The ice har-
vest this season is very fair although
the thaw has softened the ice to a con-
siderable extent and at least two inches
will have to be planned before it is
housed.
The ice cut at this lake is always
clear, and is generally over a foot in
thickness when it is packed. II. M.
Goddard. who owns the largest ice
house on the lake, will begin cutting
in few days. A Spy man visited the
ice houses at the Millbury branch to-
day, and found 280 men at work The
cakes which are being put in now are

Today 5000 cakes were packed away

Attempted Wreck on
Warren Road.
STONES ON TRACK
Discovered in Time to Avoid
Serious Results.

North Brookfeld, Jan. 16.-What
might have been a wreck was averted
on the 7.40 p. m. electric out of Spencer,
on the Warren, Brookfield and Spencer
line last evening. The car, with Motor
man George Allen and Conductor Frank
Mathews, left Spencer on time and
soon after passing the bridge over Five
Mile river, Motorman Allen noticed a
large rock laying in the track and
stopped just as the car struck it. Moth
ing was thought of it until on the fiat
nearly opposite the brick yard, Motor
man Allen saw several large rocks and
large fence rail piled up on the track
and stopped his car just time to avoid
serious trouble.
No trace of the parties who placed
the distractions could be found last
evening, but the officials of the road
will look into the matter. The War
rem, Brookfield and Spencer line de-
serve great credit for the careful man
agement of the road, and also for set
of motormen and conductors VINO at

Local politics begin to occupy the pub
lie attention, and the prospects are that
many interesting arguments and de-
bates seem likely to occur Already the
different boards of officers have come
in for their share of criticism, especial
ly the overseers of the poor.
Their appropriation will run over, and
some are asking what has been done
with the money? Fault has been
found with their purchase of provisions
and their general manner of carrying
on their work. These people fail to re-
aliEe the amount of work that the
board have on their shoulders, and the
many outside cases that come .-G con-
tinually.
The Spy correspondent, in talking
with a prominent man who knows the
workings of the board. was told that
in his opinion it would be almost i'm
possible to put a body of men into the
poor department who could do better
under the same conditions. The over
seers have certainly put great deal
of time and hard work into their de-
partment, and certainly deserve cred
it.
