complaint of his employer, w. Burr Hill, is now in Springfield, Mass. whither he was sent by the local court. The youth when tried before Judge Bacon Wakeman won the favor of that official, so much so that he got out of the theft charge against him quite easily MT. Hill, who has been cot taging at the beach, left his home in Greenfield Hill in charge of Harris, a youth of about 20. When Hill returned last week he found Harris still there but that a number of trinkets about the house were missing. Nine dollars was also gone. He put the question up to Harris, who denied the charge. Later Complaint was made to the au- thoritieS and Harris was arrested. Yes terday he admitted the theft of the trinkets but denied that he stole the money. He was fined S2 and costs and Judgment was suspended on payment of the fine. The young man had but very little funds in his pocket and also had wages coming to him from his employer. He told the court that he had relatives in Springfield who if communicated with would get him out of his troubles. Instead the court de- cided that the best thing for Harris would be to send him to his friends. Accordingly Sheriff Elwood was or dered to purchase a ticket to Spring field. This done the young man was
 
 cents to tide him over for another day. The youth told the sheriff he would rather have the money than the ticket.
