TWO LADS in JAIL.
Because of Suspicious Of Recent Breaks
In Vermont.

Morrisyille, Aug. 25.--Glendon Tuthll,
the l5-year-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Tuthill Of Woodbury., who last
spring, kept railroad detectives and post
Office inspectors busy for several weeks,
and who confessed TO burglarizing the
postofiice at Stowe and the railroad sta
tions in Morrisville, Wolcott and Hard
wick, is behind the bars of the jail in
Middlebury, charged with burglarizing
the railroad stations at Jeffersonville on
the st. j. and i. G. railroad and East
Granville on the Central Vermont road.
| Tuthill and a l5-year.old companion,
George Arthur of Elmore, were arrested
yesterday morning at the Tuthill home
in Woodbury. and taken to Middlebury.
Young Tuthill was given a)prison SEN
tence last spring for his three breaks
and placed on probation.
The break at the Jacksonville station
was made last Tuesday night and last
Friday night the station at East Gran
vile was entered.
Tnthill and Arthur went to johnson
q week ago to attend camp meeting
held in that town Saturday and Sum
