yesterday afternoon, when Arlo was
ordered committed to the Eldora in
stitute, by Judge Mcnamara of the
superior court. The papers in the
case have not been drawn up yet. Sc
that the order has not been formally
entered, but this time Arlo seems to
be doomed.
Three times he has been sentenced
to Eidora and always he has escaped,
but now there seems no avenue of re-
lief open to him. He has been in
trouble so much of the time the past
year. that the officers hold his name
the synonym for trouble.
He is harmless appearing little
