The Berryville Town Council
held n special meeting Monday
night, at which considerable bust
ness of interest to the taxpayers
and citizens was transacted, and a

Mayor Jones was instructed to

the necessary curbing for same.
He will leave this week for Mary

made.
1t was decided that the first pave

Roy BTeichbIII Ag3in in TrnnhIa.

Roy Breichbill was arrested IT
Hancock, Nd. last week. charged
with stealing a horse valued at
$40, which he sold for $50. He
confessed to Justice johnson on
Friday.
twill be remembered thatyounr
Breichbill was arrested in this
county for the burglary of Mr.. :.
j. Swimley's store. at Wadesviue,
on the night of November IL. 1903.
He was tried in the County Court
before Judge :. =. c. Moore ut the
january term, 1904. and convicted
and sentenced to one year in Jail
and a fine of 81, being the lowest
sentence that could be given under
the conviction.
Owing to the extreme Youth of
the boy movement was started
for pardon, and the petition re-
ceived practically every signature
asked for. On February Is. 1904.
Gov. y. =. Montague granted
pardon, and the 81 fine was paid
by interested citizens. Breichbill
was then given new suit Of
clothes, ticket to his home near
flagerStown, and 4 small sum of
spending money for the trip.
In conversation with the editor
of the COURIER just before leaving
Berryville, he expressed himself
as sincerely penitent, and said he
would never steal anything else.
He was very bright and intelli-
gent boy and aroused the sympa-
thy of every one.
During his stay in the Berry
Vile Jail word was received here
of the death of his little brother.
, aged seven years. who was. killed
by train while coasting over the
tracks in the snow.
1t Is probable that BreichbiIl Will
be sentenced To the House of Cor
rectiOn at JeSSups, Md, where he
will remain until he is 2l years of
