Four young men whose names we
purposely withhold were brought
before Judge Thompson of the munich
pal court Monday and plead guilty to a
charge of larceny. The young men
stole some hides from James Leithead
and sold them to parties across the
border. They were sentenced to four
months in the house of correction and
Sheriff E. j. Hill took them to Rutland
Tuesday morning.
The sugar house and tools and also a
large quantity of wood belonging,to
Mrs. Aida Niles of Coventry, was
burned to the ground Saturday morn
ing between one and two o'clock.
The fire was discovered by Chas.
Niles, who lives near and under pecul-
lar circumstances. A dog belonging
to Mr.. Niles made such a disturbance
that Mr.. Niles arose to see if there
was any trouble and noticed the fire.
He Immediately telephoned to Mrs.
Aida Niles and then went himself
with other neighbors to the scene.
The fire had not been burning long
when they reached the scene and was
in a part of the sugar house where
there had been no fire and the men
who had been working in the sugar
house stated that there had been no
fire since four of the afternoon of
Friday. Under these circumstances it
looks as though the fire was of incen-
diary origin and the perpetrators
should be brought to justice.
