breaking into Gagne's saloon and to
attempting TO break into Shippee's
store. He was bound over and in de-
fault of the bond of $500 required for
his release was taken to Brooklyn jail.
Leclair has a bad record. Some
thing over thee years ago he WIS
Sert to the state school for boys from
the local city court. Recently he was
paroled on the strength OF an opinion,
based on his good behavior at the
school that he would do better than
when he previously had freedom If ne
were releaser. The guess was a poor
one.

man bound over for breaking and en-
tering business places here. He not

gone into Smiths cafe on South
Main street last Friday morning and
into the Office of the Wheaton build
ing and lumber company a few days
ago and into E. L. Kelly's place of
business, but as well signed a written
confession in which he admitted hav-
ing done so.
. Lacroix, who was employed for a
time at the Wheaton plant, admitted
getting a considerable sum of money
from the office there and also that he
got more money at the Smith cafe
His bond WAS fixed at $500, and as he
could not raise it he went over to
Jail.

Manager Teddy Cassent of the Put
nam baseball lteam has put it up TO
the management Of the Slater A. A.
team Of Webster to put up or shut
up, as regards a series of games with
the team now representing this town.
Manager Cassent read all the hot air
stuff that has been printed in a Web
Ster paper for the past few days
about Putnam being skeered of tack
ling the Webster boys and has now
called it by posting with the sporting
editor of the Worcester paper for a
Webster series.
The forfeit is put up with the under
standing that the Webster manage
ment has until this evening to cover it
wit ha bundle of kaIe of the same gen.
eral dimensions. 1t is expected here
that this probably will be dom
The proposition is that the teams
play series of three games. The
winner of two gets the $500. Man

as he likes, getting whom he pIeases
and paying as much as he can afford
