EASY WAY TO GET WATCHES
Boys Stole Coupons That Were

scheme Worked Finely until Theft
from Building of Matted Cereals
Company Was Reported 10
the Police.

Something new in the line of juve-
nile delinquency was put over by
three small Burlngtonians a few days
ago, the little scheme of william
Bushey' aged ~, Cornelius Barlow.
aged IL, and Lewis Barlow. aged 13,
proving to be highly original and
quite profitable while it lasted. The
sequel was unpleasant, however. for
the three boys were lodged in Jail
shortly after noon Tuesday, and
their cases will be taken up by the
juvenile court soon.
The charge against the three boys
is breaking into the Matted Cereals
companys building and stealing 49,
600 coupons the kind which are put
into the-cereal packages and on which
prizes are given by firm in New
York when a sufficient number of the
coupons are saved up and forwarded,
the value of the prize depending on
the number of coupons sent. The big
coupon theft was committed early
last week and the boys according to
the story, sent for catalogue. With
$4,000 coupons at their disposal they
had an opportunity to select whatever
appealed to their fancy without the
trouble of saving us. The lads hal

they had already received three
watches q German silver mesh bag,
a watch fob and a stick pin. They
had also ordered another mesh bag.

last three have not yet arrived. al
though they are expected on any
mail. The only hitch in the scheme
was that the theft of the coupons
had been reported to the police
The police went Tuesday to the
| Bushey house at 16 Howard street
and found the watches. fob and pin,
and to the Barlow house at II Hay
ward street, where they found the
mesh bag and a burlap s 'ck which
contained several thousand coupons

denied that they had been doing any
thing wrong and their parents were
equally ignorant of anything out of
the way. but after the lads had been
grilled a little they made clean
breast of the whole thing.

times lately, presumably by these
boys, and money, pens. stamps, etc,

Lumbermen in Rutland and vicinity say
that the volume of business done dur

that weather conditions have been bet

RAY TEAM TRIMMED
STANLEY TWO GAMES

Ray, N. D., June 20.-The local team
defeated the fast Stanley ball team last
Sunday in two Of the best games ever
witnessed on the local grounds.
Buffam pitched both games for Ray
allowing but three hits in the first and
one in he second game, a feat that is
very seldom equaled in amateur base
ball in the country. Fosse as usual
was on the receiving end and played
his customary gilt edge ball.
johnson at first, who has not played
with the team since the first of last
season, put up a good game, making q
number of put outs on some bad
throws. Collins at second was also
there accepting thirteen chances in the
two games with but one skip, that on
a double steal, when he missed the
throw from pitcher. The sensational
catch Of the day was made by Bentzin
when he jumped in the air and pulled
down a speedy line drive at a critical
time in the first game.
Stanley is considered one of the
fastest teams In the west, and defeated
the locals on the Stanley grounds a
week ago 6 to 8. Great credit Is due
the boys here for the great games they
put up, and defeating that fast organ
ization two out of three.
A fair sized crowd witnessed both
contests but owing to the rainy wealth
er but few people came from afar.

Hal Chase, the greatest first base
man (when at his best) baseball has
ever seen, has jumped to the Federal
League, he says. He will report to
the Buffalo club of that organization
in a few days. How much money
Chase will get is not known. He
probably has drawn at least $4,000 a
year with the White o of Chicago,
and will probably receive much more
from the Buffalo club. Walter John
son, the Washington pitcher, it was
said, was offered a bonus of $50, 900
to join the new league, and Ty Cobb
has been offered a large sum.
Chase's contract with the White
Sox calls for a ten-day notice on the
part of either club or player. Chase,

Charles A. Comiskey, president of the
White SO, that he would leave in
that time. But Comiskey said in

notice.
Frank Chance, manager of the New
York Americans, traded Chase to
Chicago, because he had been a dis
turber in the club. While a great
player, it was said he had talked to
many players till they We're dissatis-

on the field. There have been rumors
that he had trouble of this kind in

In his first year with the New York
Americans he revolutionized the play

been the custom Of first basemen to
play a very small area about the
