MONTPELIER
Peter Riuz Pleaded Guilty to Illegal
Keeping.


morning on the charge of illegal keeping
OF intoxicating liquor. He retracted his
plea of not guilty and entered one of
guilty. Sentence was suspended because
Judge Harvey had letter from the state
probation officer relative to the matter.
1t appears that Riuz has been on proba-
tion for some offense earlier in his life
and that the day when his house was
raided the state probation officer wrote
Judge Harvey, advising his discharge
from probation. Then the house was
raided that night and the state officer
wrote advising that the penalty for the
| original misdemeanor be imposed. In
view of the fact that the probation off
Ger was not present, the matter was left
with the court until he could attend to
the matter 1t is probable that the
similar charge against Mrs. Riuz will be
dropped.
The Montpelier Athletic baseball team
was defeated by the Morrisville team
Thursday afternoon at Intercity park by
a score OF 0 to in loosely played game
for the most part. Montpelier had sew
eral other chances to score but lost them
through poor base running. On one oc-
casion Hamel could have scored had he
slid to third instead of trying TO get TO
the base standing up. Cheney was
knocked out of the box in the seventh
inning and Corporal Steltz, who relieved
him, allowed only a single hit in the rest
Of the game. Errors were numerous on
the part of Montpelier, and Morrisville
seemed to be able to hit Cheney's benders
when men were on bases. Silloway
pitched a nice game. Robert jerome suf-
fered a sprained knee as a result of one
spike catching in the home plate and is
limping about to-day.
