 Eight local youths were arrested by the police of Plainville yesterday af- ternoon charged with tresspassing on railroad property, using insulting language, and destroying town prop erty. The boys gave their names and ages as follows: Frank Culis, aged IA; Herbert A. Smith, aged 15; Will. liam Ryan, aged IS; William Stachi- leck, aged IA; George W. Ellis, aged 12; Lewis Mo1owsky, aged 16; DOmi- nic Dominuce, aged 15, and Stanis- law PapOlaSill, aged 5. The boys were taken to the Plainville jail and a few of them released later in the evening when their parents sought them. The boys claim that they left New Britain yesterday afternoon with a gang of about 30 boys They did not have school and so sought pleas ure in roaming. They reached Plain vile and started to have their fun by pulling up the blanks on one of the towns wooden bridges crossing the Matta bassett river. Some women folks in the neighborhood, realizing that the work was of a destructive nature, remonstrated with the youths. The terrible language which the boys used was put over with a barragG effect and the women were forced to retire in the face of it. The police were notified and together with several helpers started after the boys. All but eight of them got away. The eight who were locked up protested their innocence and blamed the boys who made their escape for all the trouble.
 The P1ainvi1le authorities have be- l come much annoyed with the gangs of youths from New Britain. But re- gently a gang destroyed the SlOper l bungalow and two of the boys are | now serving in the Meriden reform l school for it. In the jail last night l they were happy and sang continu- 1 ally. They were not bothered in the 1 least by the possibility of going to the 1 reform school but asked and be- 1 seeched someone in the neighboring 1 town to be good enough to get them a l plate of beans. Two of the eight 1 proved themselves regular boys, for they broke jail. They evidently l forced the lock and walked out of the place and went back to New l Britain. They were later taken into 1 custody by the New Britain police and were turned over to the Plainville au- thOrities.
