quire that the mail be held at the Al

tion that Mr. Sulzer has rented lock

RAN AUTO WITHOUT LICENSE.
Louis Ducharme Was Fined in Rutland
Yesterday.

Rutland, Aug. 22.--Louis Ducharme
of Wallingford was arrested yesterday
by Deputy Sheriff A. A. Leonard of
Wallingford on warrant issued by
States Attorney B. i. Stafford of this
city, charging him with running an au-
tomobile without an operators license.
He pleaded guilty to the charge in city
court and Judge F. G. Swinnerton fined
him S. and costs of about Sc, which he
paid.
Ducharme formerly had license but
it expired July 3. He told the court
that he was ignorant of this fact, sup
posing it was valid until August The
expiration of the license was called to
the attention of Mr.. Stafford when Du-
charme ran into post and created
breach of the peace for which he was
fined some weeks ago. He owns two au-
tomobiles but because of the trouble he
has had and the fact that it has been
reported to the authorities that he is of
incorporate habits it is probable that
he will be unable to secure another
license

A small boy came running out of the
alley between the Miles granite block

told w. ID. Glidden and Byron W.
Phelps, who happened along just then,
that a fire had been started at the side
entrance to the N. ID. Phelps Co.'S store
and the Martin book shop. Mr.. eGlidden
and his companion covered the alley in
time to grab couple of boxes and
barrel beginning then to blaze up con
siderably. They were hTriedly kicked
and rolled into a vacant space at the
rear of the block and Mr.. Phelps called
the fire station by telephone. The auto
fire truck came down the street ahead of
the wind and soon had a man smother
ing the blaze with chemical hose.
The blazing waste receptacles were.
discovered in a sheltered alcove built
into the side of the block and the fire
is believed to have been started by the
careless deposit of a lighted match OF
cigarette. There wasn't any damage, but
