at once went iE pursuit of Loyeitt, who
has been boarding at his house, but
who was out for the evening. Not be-
ing able to find him he came to this
city and made a complaint at police
headquarters.
The confession of the young girl was
made to her mother Tuesday morn
ing. The children said that they had
kept still about the assaults on account
of threats by Loveitt who, they said.
threatened to kill Mr.. Nutter and harm
them if they told upon him.
JUDGE Stanles found probable cause

Signs have been placed on the Ken
nebcc bridge in accordance with the
law, forbidding the trotting of horses
over that structure. The bridge is in
need of repairs which have been delayed
because of the fact that the contract
for the wood paving with which it has
been decided to cover the bridge will be
let within a few days. and will shortly
be followed by the repairing of the
bridge itself. Some of the StrinGcrs
will have to he replaced. and it is in
consequence Of a desire that the wear
upon the bridge before the work is
commenced should be as slight as pos
siblc that the signs have been placed
upon the structure.
