BOY THIEVES SENTENCED
jerome and BiiIndcnu Families TO Lose
Some Members for Few Years

The cases Of three young burglars
were disposed of Monday In city court
when Carl B!lladeau. aged 16. and Ray
mond Jerome. aged A. were sentenced to
spend the remainder of their minority in
the Industrial school at Vergennes, and
Louis Jerome was placed on probation
for the remainder of his minority.
John Jerome. an older brother of Ray
mond and Louis, and who is suspected
of being the instigator, was sentenced 20
six months at the House of Correction In
Rutland.
The two older boys pleaded guilty 10
breaking and entering the Combination
Cash Store. Louis. who did not seem 20
be deeply involved in the affair, received
s15O for staying outside the fence IL
the rear of the store and watching to see
II anyone was coming. Louis earned his
money easily. for he got tired OF wait
ing and was several blocks away when
the other culprits got out of the store.
His brother and his friend. however.
made such good haul that they not
only paid Louis the dollar which they
promised him, but tipped him an extra
half dollar
The police, in getting rid of these
young people, probably have broken up
the system of burglares. for they were
the ones who broke into half dozen
canal boats which were tied up for the
winter in the cove.

thought 1t was six inches thick. Mr..

into the lake was a short distance in
side the brealiwater and opposite the foot
of Maple street. Mr. Ferguson is a heavy
man and was rescued from his predca-

good ice, was taken to his home in a
taxicab and at evening appeared to be
suffering from no i'll results.

Both ANNIVERSARY
Members Of Class Of 1850 Coming Back
for Reunion in juno


IN a Enthusiastically breezy letter to
his classmates. A. b. Gilbert Of New
York city. U. " NJ. 80, urges all MEM
bers Of the class to make their plans to
attend the Goth anniversary reunion, TO
be held at the next commencement Of the
university. The surviving members Of the
class are scattered from Burlington to
Japan, with some in the southern States
and some on the Pacific coast The Bur-
lingtonians include the Rt. Rev. G.. Y.
Bliss L. s. Isham, NJ. l.. Powell and
Mr.. and Mrs ]. l.. Hall. Mr.. Gilbert
says. in his letter:
We graduated q and had As back Mt
our 25th reunion-some class We owned
the city for n few days, gave n cup TO
be offered annually and voted to return
in five years in still greater numbers
ard win our own cup again-the big date
is the week beginning June %, 1919.
Believe me, our 25th reunion was some
anniversary. Every Delt initiated from
80 was there with bells on. including
Graves and Johnson who had not been
back in q years-how is that for loyalty?
Dean, who helped fight our freshman
battles but graduated with 30, made a
special trip from Providence Monday and
was obliged to leave before the breakfast
was over next morning to catch his
steamer for Italy, but said he would
not have missed those few hours for all
the money he had saved in "a years.
Brother Tutherly sent us the following
cablegram from Manila, received when
we were all together on Tuesday:
HOWNELRUOL RARATYNINE
Some class to that, but Brother Nemotc
went him still better and sent Presiden;
Benton check on a Toxic bank for S25C
and letter explaining that because of ar
important session of Parliament he coulc
not leave Japan but that he surely woulc
be with us at our goth reunion-the biz
date Is the week beginning June 49, 1919
Brother Powell's entertainment of the
class at the Hotel Vermont Brother
Briggs S-course dinner at his magnificent
summer hotel, Island Villa, on Crane
Isle; Brother Isham's Maryland Dime,
on Saturday night and the other enter
tainment we received all showed we made
no mistake when We let them join oui
class "a years ago. or returned to enjoy
their hospitality in June, ia.
A glance at the enclosed list shows
that several who were with us in 1871
will not be with us excepting in spirit
at our big reunion this year. We hope

come with as many as possible of you
