in Action.

Rutland, Feb. a. Deputy United
States Marshal f. S. Whitaker of this
city was in Bellows Falls yesterday

tional Paper company in connection with

COURT COLLECTED sso6.so
During November, December and Janu-
airy, Indicating Busy Time.

Eighty five criminal cases, an almost
unprecedented number for winter quar-
terly period, were entered in Barre city
court in the three months ending Jan. 81
according to returns received to-day from
the report filed by Judge H. w. Scott
with the state auditor. II is a matter OF
record in the Barre court that offenses oi
several kinds are committed with more
frequency in the months of warmer
weather, but an aggregate of So entries
in November, December and January is
uncommon in this city.
In the period mentioned the magistrate
collected in fines and costs S796.S5, which
sum was turned over to the state audi
tor. Included in this total is a small
amount made up of court fees collected
In few civil cases. Added to the total
is S9.54, an amount representing un-
claimed witness fees, which makes the
aggregate of receipts $S06.39. Costs re-
verted by the auditor to the magistrate
for disbursement as officers fees, witness
and jury fees amounted to $509s2.
Figured in the aggregate of fines are
two $50 assessments levied for alleged
violations of the automobile laws and
one $500 fine imposed for an alleged vio-
lation of the liquor laws. A second fine
Of $500 imposed for similar offense will
be paid in supreme court, il is said, al
though it was assessed in the Barre court
and does not appear in the total noted
above.

AN ALLEGED CONFESSION
duplicates George Parron in Rutland
County Robbery.

Rutland, Feb. 3.--With the arrest yes
terday of George Parron of this city, for.
merly of Orwell, and the subsequent re-
covering of considerable quantity OF
goods stolen from the Burr store in the
town of Rutland on Tuesday night in
the Parrou apartments over the Lavoice
store on Washington street, together
with written confession signed by Mr..
Parron, Deputy Sheriff Pascal Ricei and
Chief OF Police b. S. Hyland believe that
they have solved the mystery surround
ing the recent breaks at the Byrnes store
in Center Rutland, the robberies at the
Rutland Fire Clay company and the Burr
store and with a possible clue to the
breaks at the two places in Fair Haven
on Sunday night. Paron when arrested
was in the act of repeating his break at
the Bvrne store when he was caught in
the act by Harry Shedd of West street,
captured and held until Deputy Sheriff
Ricci had arrived and placed him in the
county Jail. His partner, Joseph Martin,
was arrested last night.
Parron has implicated Others in the
burglaries, who the officers are trying
to connect with the breaks. When he
confessed to the break at the Burr store
Parron was lead to believe that he was
writing to friend to assist him in get
ting rid of the stolen goods which were
discovered in the rooms over the Layoice
store
