 Fred Rumrill was arrested in Hol- land about ? o'clock Monday morning on a charge of horse stealing. The specific charge is for stealing a horse and wagon belonging to Olin Shearer of Ellington, the night of Feb. 10, from the shed of the Congregational church. The rig was recovered through the efforts of Sheriff Watkins at GreenVille, R. l., but Rumrill made his escape at the time. The prisoner has 8 long criminal record. and it is thought that he could ex- plain a number of cases of horse stealing If he SO desired. Rumrill Is we'll known locally, having lived here early in life. He was at one time employed in the Irons fish market, but left here owing to some escapade. A few years ago he ran a disorderly house on the Holland road. He was not arrested, getting away just before the authorities were preparing to close the place. He was before the court for selling liquor without a license at the fair grounds a few seasons since. He was selling from a bottle and state officers bought from him. He started early in life as 6 chicken thief, and served Q term in state prison for this offenss. Since that time he has been engaged in a lot of crooked work, but has kept out of jail until the present. He does not drink to excess, which Is probably one reason why he has lasted so long. People who know him here think he is about 45 years of age. The state police were looking for a team stolen in Norwich when they got track of Rumrill. He was living at an old house in Holland and had his buggy all packed for a getaway when the officers nAbbed him. He was brought to this county and delivered to Sheriff sprague, and is now in custody at Rockville, who took him to Rockville for trial. He was brought before Judge Wheeler yester- day afkarnonn nn a hAnnh warrant aa.
