these Is the invention of Mr.. Bogert and
was. In the estimation of the audience
one of the best and finest slefght of hane
tricks they have ever seen. OF particu

BRASS AIR TANK
is STOLEN FROM
CAPITAL GARAGE
Two Boys Implicated-Will Be
Given Hearing This
Morning

Developments of the past few weeks
seem to indicate that there is among
the youngsters of this vicinity an cpl
den1ic Of petty thieving which prompts
them to take anything that can be sold
as junk for the purpose of replenish-
ing their cash capital II was only
about two weeks ago that two young
sters landed in the police court be-
cause of their having stolen big
rubber doormat from the outer por
tails of the State House, and asw two
more have emulated their predeces-
sors, only the last two. instead of
finding rubber to their fancy had a
leaning toward brass, and took big
brass air tank, such as is used in
pumping up automobile tires.
The tank was stolen a week ago
from the Capital garage below the
Augusta House but the details OF the
affair did not come to the surface
until the theft of the tank was report
cd by Fifield Bros, the proprietors of
the garage, to City Marshal Colgan
Friday morning. That officer promptly
took the matter in hand with the re-
suit that Friday afternoon he found
out what had become of the tank and
also took into custody two boys who
were instrumental in the disappear
ance of the same.
One boy was suspected because of
information which he had given the
owner of the tank, and IN which he
implicated another boy, and Friday
afternoon the two were yarded ard
taken over the river where they had
an informal interview with the judge
of the municipal court. The theft OF
the tank was admitted but regarding
which boy took it there was an air
Of uncertainty as each accused the
other of doing it, the result of which
is both boys will be given a hearing
this morning before the court.
