The loss amounted to about $6,000 whereas had the sprinklers not been shut off too soon, it probably would had amounted to only a few hundred dollars.

BOY HELD FOR
 THE SUPERIOR COURT
William Gould, 17 Years Old, Admits
 Petty BuraIaries at Best View.

William Gould of Quaker Hill, IT years, confessed to 25 burglaries on Thursday morning after he had been arrested on charge of burglary. The boy was arrested by State Policeman Theodore F. Downing and Constable Richard Mulcahey of Quaker Hill.
 The arrest followed a complaint by Attorney John J. Lawless, whose house was entered recently. All the burglaries to which Gould confessed were in Quaker Hill and the Best View section and all were of a petty nature, nothing of much value being stolen in any of the places.
 Residents of Quaker Hill and the surrounding section have been annoyed considerably of late by their houses being entered and burglarized, but lal of the burglaries were of a trifing na- ture. In most cases women's clothing was stolen and either thrown away or left where it could be recovered. In only a few cases was any money stolen and these were trihing sums, consist ing mostly of a. few cents.
 Gould was presented before Justice of the Peace Morris Lubchansl1y in Quaker Hin Thursday morning. Prob able cause was found and the boy was bound over to the superior court in bonds of $500.

It is regretted by all TaftriIle that the Baltic speed king refuses to meet Flynn or Wohlleben in a race of 220 yards or even a mile. F. Filling, Flynn's manager, and Wohlleben say that they would like to know the name of this Bay state lad. Many seem to think that he is a, myth invented to fit the occasion. It looks as if it was going to be cold winter in Baltic as several of the sportsmen there have had severe cases of chilb1ains so soon Flynn says that running, like charity. should begin at home, and he hopes that he and the Baltic runner may yet meet on the cinder path.
