What the Police Of That City Say Of the
Crooks Taken Here Yesterday.

A Boston dispatch says that James
Skinner and Bertram Spencer. alias
Woods. who were arrested here yester-
day and held for the grand jury in $1,000
each, on three counts OF breaking and en-
tering were well known in that city.
Skinner is believed by the police to be
the same man who was concerned in the
break at the Potter Chemical companys
store on Columbus avenue few years
ago, when on two occasions a wagon was
backed up TO the door and a load OF
goods taken away.
For this he was arrested by Special Of
hcers Kelly and COTE OF Station 4. and
later he left the city, but is supposed TO
have paid frequent flying visits there
since.
The woman. Annie Gale, alias Fox also
OF Boston. whom the local police claim
was Skinners companion. Is said to have
passed as his wife I'm Boston. when the
is supposed TO have been the fence for
the two men. Skinner is said to have
been pal OF Carmody, Carroll and other
well-known crooks. some of whom are
now doing time.
Spencer, alias Woods. the Boston po-
lice believe to be Bert Woods. who was
known to travel with a man named Skin
ner. and was arrested last fall on
charge of aiding and abetting illegal vot-
Ing In the Dorchester district but VINO
afterward defaulted. and has not since
been heard OF in Boston. The Boston po-
lice think the local officers have so many
cases against the pair that no attempt
will be made TO bring them TO that city.

explaining to do when he gets back

sleOths Of the Illinois metropolis. Mars

escape Of a prisoner he was taking
back to Chicago from Rawlins. Wyo-

than fiction.
He says that he had his man shack

overcame him (the detective) and he
dozed Off While he slept the shackled
prisoner shackled. mind you. conceived
the notion that he would like to get
away. Accordingly. in spite of his

THE GRAND ARMY.

THE MARCH Of the Grand Army at
l its annual reunions is the most in
spring and pathetic spectacle Of our
national life. Weakened by age and
infirmity, many Of them poor, all with
in a very few years of the last roll
call, they still keep time to great mem
cries as they march and offer a great
er lesson in patriotism than any his
torian ever told or poet sung.
To the generation Of today, the war
in which these men fought seems very
far away. Their deeds of heroism, their
suffering and sacrifice. have almost
been forgotten in a struggle for sordid
success. Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan are stin great figures in the
minds of men, but they, too. are fast
taking a place with the heroes Of an
other day, so swiftly does time move,
so soon is the past replaced.
But. as one reads of the Grand Army,
of the stories recounted, and hears
again the names Of famous leaders and
battles. the story of the great war be
comes fresh again. its lessons of patri-
otism, Of self-sacrifce, of bravery. are
brought home to the men and women
OF today as they could be IN no other
way.
The Grand Army is fast coming to
the close OF its weary life battle; its
memory ought to--and viii be-per-
petuated forever by the men who come
after, the men who reap the fruits of
the victory that army won.
