GREENEvILLE BOY.
Joseph Gouilard, 10, Arrested for
Thefts--In Company with John
Swistock and Fred TebeauIt.

John Swistock, IL years old, Jo-
seph Gouillard, 13 years old, and Fred
Tebeau, were arrested by Chief Pill
ing Tuesday on information that the
boys have been making a practice of
thieving from various stores about
town
They have made a confession certi-
flying to the charges against them, and
will probably be sent to the state re-
in the town court this wednesday,
morning.
The boys took candy and gum from
the keystone store on June %, and on
June 20, managed to extract IS from
the till in Rainville's grocery store.
July 5th they broke out a window in
Vachon's store on Railroad street and
took revolver.
The next day, after the holiday, they
were evidently short of funds, but
made a good haul at Miss Chamber
Inns millinery store, where they Sc
cured at least $25.
Tuesday morning forty cents were
stolen from Pellets garage on Me-
chanic street They are bold and I'M
scrupulous little thieves and managed
to get the money when the people in
the stores they looted were not look
ing. When arrested Tuesday, neither
had all been spent for candy, soda, ice
cream, car rides and in various other
ways. 1t has been their practice to
divide their stealings.
Swistock has been watched by the
police for some time. He has bad
record for so young a boy and has
grown worse instead of better His
sister, on a charge similar to the one
Johnny is now facing, was sent to the
cfo a Urn rya
Young Gouillard came here recently
from Greeneville, and, it is said.. has
not always been as good boy as he
might have been.
He made run for liberty when he
saw the officer coming, but was cap
tured and locked up with the Swistock
boy.
Action on All Night Street Light Ser
vice Postponed Indefinitely-S. p.
Davis and Others Given Hydrant.
Action on the proposal to have an all
night street light service in Danielson
was indefinitely postponed at a special
meeting held in the Town hall Tues
day evening. There were about %
present when the meeting was called to
order by Warden Billiard, many being
kept away by the intense heat. The
warden reported that 1t had been as
would cost about 5000 additional to the
cost of the present street light service,
or about one-half of one mill on a tax
list basis.
The report was voted accepted, but
the extra expense of the proposed SER
vice was too great to get favorable
vote on the matter.
Favorable action was taken upon
the petition of S. P. Davis and others
asking that a hydrant be located on
Furnace street between Main and Cot
tage streets at a point to be decided
upon by the warden and court of bur-
gesses. The cost of the new hydrant
will be $50 year.
In consideration of the fact that w.
w woodward had given the use of the
land on Center street on which the
present station of the Minnetexit Hose
company is located free for a number
of years, and that his bid of 81 was the
only one received for the station, after
it was advertised for sale, the meeting
voted favorably on a resolution intro
duced by Judge Harry z. Back provid-
ing that the building be turned over to
Mr.. Woodward and possession deliver
ed as soon as its occupancy by the
borough ceases.
The tower and bell are to remain on
the property for the present.
The meeting then adjourned.
