Peace in the Neighborhood Where
They Live.

Youthful incendiaries are Mt large In

fire had gained considerable headway
that somebody turned in a fire alarm
Departments No. l and No. answered
the call and by the time they arrived
they had to center their efforts on the
two-story Camp building and he two
story Hubbard building. The two barns
and three sheds were a total loss. the

He says that a gang of tough boys have
been giving the neighborhood consider

The republican leaders are enthused
over the good reports which are coming
from all parts of the county and the

pafgn which they are conducting, is a
matter of surprise to the members of

ment which makes him one of the
greatest attractions as a speaker in the
country. The Old Shady .quartette will
also be on the program for several Of
it's parodies.
1t is urgently requested that every
young republican in the city be present
at the meeting Tuesday as there is

BOYS P|LPER FRUIT

Five boys were arrested by the po-
lice Saturday for stealing fruit from
the store of scatena & Sbiagia. Some
of the boys were drawn into the at
tempted theft through the influence
of older boys who have a rather bad
record as juvenile offenders.
The judge had a talk with the bows
and in his kindly manner told them of
the seriousness of the offense with
which they are charged. On account
of the fact that Truant officer Muz-
zall was not in the city, three of the
boys were released and told to go to
their teachers and make arrangements
detained at the police station until the
trial this morning
The names of the boys who were ar
rested were Ben Hopkins. Fred Yarck,
George Prest, Sherman Young and AL
bert Zoll. The boys who were de-
tanned al the station were Ben Hop
kins and sherman Young
The boys ages range from II to Is
years, and only the two who were Is
years old were detained. 1t was Ben
Hopkins who was arrested some time
ago after he had been sent from the
Erie yards to the Erie depot ith $500
and failed to arrive.
The case is one which will command
the attention of Truant officer Muz-
zall, and it is possible that one or more
of the boys will be sent to the reform
school.

FOUNDER OF SCHOOL
IS IN HARD LUCK
Charges Made Against John Gavin
Results in His Discharge and Wife
of College Founder Visits City and
Decides to Close School for at
Least Temporarily.

The Jones Business college, an insti-
tuition which has been running in this
city for some time, is in straits and NAV
city for some time, is in straits and may
snort time unless some money is forth
coming from an unexpected source.
Mr.. Jones, the founder of the school.
has been having his troubles and now
with several judgments against his
school, two of which amount to s105.
and with the discovery that his man
ager, John Gavin. has compromised him
self and the school by his unbusiness-
like methods he has decided to close
down the school
1t is understood that in order to Sc
cure the money on two judgments.
which amount to sos, the parties in
whose favor the judgments were rem
dered viii ask that the equipment of
the school be sold by the sheriff.
Mr. Jones at present is in Oklahoma.
where his mother is very i'll, but Mrs.
Jones came out today and said that 1t
would be impossible to raise the mon
ey with which to continue the schol in
operation.
Gavin I'm Bad
John Gavin, the manager of the
Jones Business college, is down and
out. He has ben the manager of the
local branch of the Jones Business col
lege for some time, but Mr.. Jones be-
came aware of the fact that Mr.. Gavin
was not looking after his interests as
he should, and last Thursday night he
ordered that his services be dispensed
with
Mr.. Gavin is known to have spent
considerable of his time in the various
saloons about town and he drank to an
extent which made him very unreliable.
Mr.. Jones heard several reports of his
conduct towards one or two of the girls
in the school and his actions became
notorious among the other occupants of
the Rimbach block, where the school is
located.
The school did none convene on Fri
day of last week on account of the alb
sence of W. f. Mirsch, the principal.
but 1t was thought that the school
would open this morning. Mrs. Jones
visit, however, resulted in the dicision
to close
In addition to the reprehensible of
Mr.. Gavin in the school it is a fact that
there have been several suits started
against him to collect bar and board
.
which he is unable to collect
Serious Charges Preferred.
The most serious charge which has
been brought against Mr.. Gavin, how
ever, is that he wrote out two checks.
one for $40 and another for SIS when
he had only IS in the bank. 1t is said
that he even drew out the s5 before the
checks came around to the bank
begun a civil action to recover the
amount of the check and if he is una
BILE to make Mr.. Gavin pay over the
money he will start criminal proceed
ings against him for obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Mr. Gavin's career in this city is
about ended He has been trying to get
into the quarters of the college and
raised heaven and earth to get posses
sion even after he was discharged. but
Attorney G. c. White who is looking
after Mr. Jones interests in the mat
ter. would not permit him to even enter
the school.
