BOYS ARE CAUGHT
ON A JOY RIDE

Two Youngsters by name Wilired
Angler, 10, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Angler, and Smith Manning, y, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Manning, were
caught at Bristol Flats Friday after
d wild ride after a stolen horse.
As the tale goes they are alleged to
have gone to the pasture OF Gorham
brothers, taking an eight-year old horse,
valued at about 5000 They then started
down the street toward the Swenor
place, but nobody being at home they
went on to the Penniman place and
borrowed wagon, taking also, with
out permission, lantern. Then they
started for New Haven Mills, spending
the night at Bristol in a shed.
Friday morning they went on to
Lincoln thence to Bristol Flats,
Meanwhile, Earl Gorham had been
notihed of his missing horse and com
municated with States Attorney Allen
r. Sturtevant Sheriff Sanford and Cor
ham went after the horse, But the
bows were reluctant to ride home with
the sheriff, but came home with Mr.
Gorham. The horse was in bad con
dition after its long drive,
After a hearing in the case Judge A
W. Dickens decided that Wilfred An
gier was the more responsible for the
act and sent him to the industrial
school at Nergennes, where he will stay
until he is 81 Smith Manning was given
another chance to be better boy and
he went home States Attorney A. W
Sturtevant prosecuted the case.

from neighboring divisions, We redress
a large proportion, start records, and

this has not always been the case, and
we have had some narrow escapes, In

their ideas appear not unreasonable.
Our hospital is usually located in

was in an old Catholic church-a very
good location At present we are work

been a feature of the village. The cow
stable, which we use for receiving ward

wagon-loads of manure, and an anti

suited to our purposes. The haylofts
afford Judgement for the men, and the
