Two Young Men Accused of Breaking
Into Stores Recently.

Several times in the past few years
the store of w. +. Lamson & Son has
been entered and goods to quite an
amount taken. Again last fall the Half
Century store was entered and money to
the amount of about $75 taken, and also
some goods from the Tewksbury & Ray
mond store No clue has ever been
found in regard to the thieves till last
week. Among the articles taken from
the Lamson store was q gun or rife be-
longing to Raymond Campbell, who had
placed it in the store for sale. This was
peculiar in many ways, and when the
theft was announced the number of the
same was given out. Last week young
man went into the Gay livery stable
with rife which seemed to be similar
to the one lost, and Ben Thayer, en-
gagged there, inquired Of the one who had
it where he found it. He was told that
he had rented it of Frank Anderson As
soon as the opportunity arrived Mr..
Thayer telephoned the Lamson company,
telling them where they could find the
gun, after having ascertained of them
that the number correspondent to the lost
one. An officer was at once authorized
to go to the camp in which Anderson
and Roland Day were at the time, and
the two were placed under arrest and
taken here to the lookup, after search
was made at the home of viii. Bryant,
whose son in-law Anderson is. Many Of
the goods were found there, and the off
Ger proceeded to the house of Samuel
Day near the Center, where other goods
were found, which were identified by the
losers. The young men were questioned
and after little, owned that they had
entered the Lamson store three times,
but would not at first say that they
went into the Half Century store. How
learned from them that they were the
parties at the Half Century store, 1t
was understood that the boys were TAX
en- to Chelsea on Saturday to await their
trial.
