The city court record was again clean
this morning as regards the recording OF

Capt John Fl. Woodruff, medical aid to
Governor Graham, expects to be away
from Barre part of the time from now
until the first week in December while
engaged in his work of visiting the med
ical branches of the local boards in the
counties of Vermont. Yesterday he was
in st. JohnsbuTy visiting the Caledonia
local board, this afternoon he was in

prevent Captain Woodruff from taking
on new local medical practice during the
time he is engaged in these inspections.

A very penitent youth walked out Of
the city court room yesterday afternoon
by Judge Scott on the wrong Of turning
I in fire alarm when there was no fire.
The appearance Of the youth, aged IL,
followed a little detective work on the
part of Chief Gladding of the fire depart
ment following the false alarm from box
10 at the corner Of Long and Warren
streets last Tuesday evening, and the
boy was brought before Judge Scott by
Chief Sinclair Of the police department.
The boy readily admitted his guilt and
said that someone told him that in order
TO see the inside of the Ere alarm box he
would have to pull down the lever; so he
pulled down the lever and the bell began
to clang and the whistle to blow and the
fire apparatus TO arrive However, he
didn't wait for the arrival of the firemen
but went scurrying off in CONSERVATION,
only to be rounded up later The Judge
dismissed the boy with sharp repri-
mand and on the latter's promise not TO
do that sort Of thing again
