BndiN Rat-tlrd Boys.

There were Il number of pretty bad
ly frightened business men in the
neighborhoud of Sauer " Steyer' ;
store Monday afternoon. During
the night Sauer " Steyer had caught
u large wire trap full of rats and set
them outside until they had more time
to dispose of them. Some small boys
came along, got a can of coal oil, sat
urated the rats and then set them on
fire at the same time opening the trap
door. OF course the rats sought shell
ter under the buildings andfor Il while
battle ragged between the boys and
the rats which finally ended in the
boys getting the rats all killed before
any harm was done. But each one OF
those boys has learned Il lesson and
lost "a years growth in doing it. If
one of those rats had escaped there is
no estimating of the damage it might
have done.

BURGLARS AT GEORGIA.

East Georgia, July 25.-The store
owned by c. e. Gale at this place was
robbed last night, a short time after
midnight. Entrance was made by
taking out the large glass in the
front door. The persons were evil
IDENTIFY professionals for they worked
skillfully and silently, not making
noise enough to awaken the family
who live directly over the store.
The loss will probably amount to
$50: the articles taken being SIX raz-
orS, one dozen jacknivcs, two pair of
fine shoes, five watch chains, 20 boxes
of cigarettes and a can of tomatoes.
A large chamois skin pouch which
had been used as a receptacle for
small change was found near the
store, with the names Hale & Teach
out written on one side.
Later in the morning news was re-
cciyed from Milton that w. II. Hale's
store had been entered and among
other things a small sum of money in
a pouch similar to the one found,
had been taken, thus proving that
the same gang must have operated at
both places, coming here last. OIL
GERS are on the watch for them at
several places.

THAT MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.

Burlington, July 25.--It has been
a matter of much comment as to what
became of the child of that mystic
rious woman who has been travelling
between Burlington, Montpelier and
Barre.
1t will be remembered that the
woman had left Barre with the young
baby, that much CONSERVATION was
caused, owing to the fact that 1t was
suspected that she might have done
away with the child, suspicion that
was strengthened when the woman
returned to Montpelier without the
baby.
The child is now being cared for by
a family in the northern part of the
city who are thoroughly respectable
people and who would not like to have
their names published in connection
with the affair. The child's board is
being paid by a resident of this city
also.

TRAPPED BY COPS
Joseph Landry Caught in Boston
Police Station.

Deputy Sheriff g. G. French re-
turned last night from Boston with
Joseph Landry, WHO was arrested at
the instance Of George G. Ed.ie for
alleged robbery.
The way Landry was located is
quite story and shows the aptitude
some people have for the profession.
When Mr.. Earle found that Lam
dry had meandered away with the
contents of his money drawer he i'm
mediately notified the authorities
here. In giving all the information
he knew Mr.. Earle accidently men,
toned the fact that Landry had that
day received word from pawn
broker in Boston that his watch
would be sold if not redeemed within
certain number of days.
+ Deputy Sheriff E. G. French pro-
ceeded Immediately to interview the
express agent who>had the address of
the pawn broker and then went and
called up the police office at Boston.
After telling the police at tina place
to watch the trains he informed them
about the watch. They missed Lam
dry at the train but notified the
pawn broker and sure enough he
walked in there and demanded his
watch.
The broker notified Landry that
there was something wrong, but that
it could be fixed at the police station.
Landry, knowing everything was all
right about his watch, started for the
station. On arriving there he was
put through the usual examination,
and after giving his right name and
address, was locked up, to his great
surprise, as his claim is that he only
took what belonged to him and moth
ing more and went to the police sta
ton in all innocence, but walked into
the trap set for him. Before being
placed in cell he was searched and
$40 found on him, and by permission
Of the police he paid the pawn ticket,
s5.S5, and got his watch, which left
him with $14.15, which he now has.
He was brought before Judge w.
A. Boyce this morning, but the case
was continued until O'Clock in the
afternoon.
