Stole Wedding Ice Cream.

The Dalles Chronicle of last Friday
has this pathetic story:
Today's Dufur dispatch say that al
a wedding on Wednesday a piece OF
hoodlumism was performed by some
youngsters that is not often met with
Harold Hesler, the two McManemy
boys, Clifford Harvey, Irving Easton
Guy Hendrix and the Schuler boy stole
a freezer of ice cream from the pre-.
misses of Mr.. Patison, and when the
Patisons went for cream for their
guests there was none to be had. II
had mysteriously disappeared. James
Cooper took up the scent and found
the ice cream-that is, what was left
OF it-and the boys above named, in
the school house. They were compelled
to carry the freezer back to the place
from whence it was stolen, and yes
terday morning the boys were all up
before Recorder o'Brien for their
misconduct. Mr.. Patison refused to
prosecute and the matter was dropped.
