GRABBED A POCKETBOOK AND
 RAN.
Boy Stole from Woman Who Refused
 to Give Her Name

Boy Stole from Woman Who Refused to Give Her Name. Yesterday afternoon Patrolman P. T. Hayes arrested James Richmond, six teen-year- boy who claims to hail from New Jersey, on the charge of the theft of a pocketbook from a woman who refused to give her name.
 The affair occurred yesterday after noon about 3:45 on Grove street, at the corner of Church street. A middle aged woman was walking down Grove street carrying a pocket book, when the boy ran up to her and snatched the pocketbook The boy then started to run away.
 Patrolman Hayes happened to be near by and saw the incident. He gave chase and after chasing the boy to the sand lot at the corner of Grove ana Orange streets he caught him. Hayes secured the pocketbook, which appear ed to be well filled, and returned it to the woman, who refused to give her name. The boy was locked up, but 1t is thought that the owner of the pock- etbook will not appear against him in the city court.
 After the boy was arrested he told man who happened along about that time and stopped to see what was the matter that he was hungry and took the pocketbook to secure money to buy food. The man, who was evidently stranger in the city, then gave the boy a dollar, saying that he didn't want to sec him hungry and lectured him on the evil of stealing.
 The boy is about sixteen years of age and said that he came to New Haven from New Jersey Monday and slept Monday night in barn on Whitney avenue

A SMALL FIRE

Yesterday Afternoon-A Still Alarm
 Early Last Evening
 An alarm was rung in from box No. 19, at the corner of Commerce and Tem- pie street, yesterday afternoon at 2:25. The fire department arrived on the scene to see nothing but small shed smoking which is situated at the rear of Salzman's saloon, which faces on Congress avenue. A few streams from one of the extinguishers on the hose cart put out the fire. There was no damage It Is thought that some red- hot coals were put into the bin and thus set fire to the wood.
 No. Ss chemical was called early last evening to extinguish fire in the dump rear of State street, near Mill River street.
