Arthur York was arrested early this
morning by Officer Hamel on warrant
issued on complaint of Grand Juror Z. R.
Davis, charging him with larceny. York
rooms at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Rob
ert Johnston of 515 Cottage street. Mrs.
Johnston was awakened just before day
light this morning by a man in their
sleeping room. She did not dare to move
but as soon as the man left she awakened
Mr.. Johnston and he found, upon exami-
nation, that fve-dollar bill and some
change which he had in his trousers
pocket was missing.
He suspected York, as the latter bears
an unsavory reputation, and notified OFF,
Ger Hamel of his suspicious. Hamel inn
mediately got warrant and went TO
York's room in the Johnston house and
placed him under arrest At first York
denied all knowledge OF the theft, but
finally produced the money, which he had
hidden under his pillow.
1t is just year to-day since York,
who is but IL years OF age, was arrested
and brought into city court charged with
furnishing intoxicating liquor and with
intoxieation. He was found guilty on
the furnishing charge and was sentenced
to spend the remainder of his minority
in the industrial school at Vergennes.
He was taken to the school and confined
there until last October, when he was dis
charged on account of i'll health.
Young York was taken before Judge
Scott this afternoon and pleaded guilty
to petty larceny. His father was present
and desired TO make some arrangement
whereby the boy could have his freedom
by the payment Of fine, and ii is pre-
sumed that owing to the condition of his
health this will be done.
Dudley Sterling was arrested and ar
raigned in city court yesterday on the
charge of being an absconding debtor.

debt of $500 owing to E. A. Drown, who

oath and was discharged BY Judge Scott.
After two DAYS of investigation. Chief
Faulkner to-day arrested Eli Bertrand,
a young man, on the charge of assaulting
William Hepburn a week ago last Satur-
day night, Hepburn being the man who
was taken to the City hospital yesterday
in serious condition as the result Of
frequent hemorrhages said to have been
caused by blows. The matter has been
kept pretty quiet by all concerned, but
Chief Faulkner learned enough so that he
felt warranted in arresting Bertrand as
Hepburn's assailant.
1t was reported at the hospital to-day
that Hepbnrn's condition is considerably
more favorable. He lost a little blood
last night but since then there has been
no recurrence Of the hemorrhages which
afflicted him all last week and rendered
him very weak. He was considerably
stronger to-day as the result Of the
stopping of the hemorrhages, and viii
