On Saturday Herbert Farnswcrth OF
Duxbmy and John Martin of Moretown
descended on Montpelier for good time.
They were having it when the Mont
peher police warned them to leave the
streets. They didn't. A short time
later Constable Harley Stoclxwell of
West Berlin, who happened to be in
the city, thought they were ripe for
arrest. Hhe collared them, but instead
of taking them to the police station,
he carried them to hayloft on East
State street for safe keeping. The men
didn't mind such soft snap and i'm
mediately went to sleep on the hay.
Finally Martin woke up and wondered
greatly at his location. 1t suddenly
dawned upon him, and as the constable
had gone out to make some purchases,
Martin decided it was a good time 10
leave. He did, And he left so hur-
riedly that several women came near
being run over by his horse.
Constable Stockwell returned and
found one Of his ripe pair missing.
Surmising the truth, be hustled the
remaining one into his own rig and
started at hot pace after Martin.

ARRESTED FOR THIEvING.
Shotgun" Foster and James Ellis Are
Charged.

Montpelier, Nov. 6.--CIarence, better
known as Shotgun" Foster, of East
Montpelier and James Ellis of the
same town We're arrested and lodged In
jail Saturday evening BY Sheriff Tracy,
the former charged with stealing a rope
and other articles TO the value OF more
than 81 from Herbert Kelton of East
Montpelier and the latter charged with
grand larceny in stealing a harness.
blankets, etc, from Drury Montgomery.
Their arrest followed the serving of a
search warrant which was in the hands
Eof Sheriff Tracy.
Ellis was in the Montpelier court this
morning on the charge Of grand larceny.
He waived examination and was bound
over to county court in the sum of
$500, which at this time has not been
furnished. A friend entered plea of
not guilty for Foster and the case was
continued for one week to give time in
which to examine Foster as to his san
ity. The warrants were issued by the
states attorney, who prosecuted the
cases.
The officers found d trunk, four lap
robes, a driving harness, sheepslxin
foot robe, six horse blankets and q
monkey wrench in the Foster barn.
Friends Of shotgun say that he would
not steal for the gain Of the thing,
and they assert that he was the tool
Of someone else. He has not been
considered just right. His latest role
is that Of a detective, and he would
arrest" any and all persons on the sug-
gestion Of anyone. He claimed to be-
long to the American Detective Bureau,
and proudly displayed a badge Of his
authority At yenison supper in this
city the other evening, he approached a
young lady and asked her Ii her faith
er had been missing anything, giving
her the tip that he would ike to do
little detective work on the job. The
young lady did not know that her faith
er had lost anything, but went home
and learned that he was minus several
articles.
