FARMER CAUGHT
STEALING GRAIN
SENT To PRISON
Prosperous Waterbury Man Had
Been Thief for Years
PAID BACK OVER $4,000
Got Into M. II and Moved Out a Few
Bags at Night and Got Them
BY Daylight.

Montpelier, Aug 7:-Sumner
Stearns, well-todo Waterbury farm
er and all r. f. ID. carrier, was brought
before Judge r.. l. Scott OF Barre in
Montpelier city court this morning TO
answer to a complaint charging bur
glary or breaking and en- .ering in the
night time.
Stearns is alleged to have stolen
gram from the H. r. Seabury mill at
Mill village Grain has been missed
from this mill since last fall but all
efforts to locate its theft have failed.
For some nights man has been on
wa.ch a. the mill. During this time
the grain did not disappear. Last
night detective Of the Wood agency
was IN the mill. He saw man un-
bolt the door by means of long pole
thrust through a cat hole. Bags or
grain we're put out on the pla form.
The door was rebol-ed and the man
went away. This was about 3 o'clock.
An hour later Stearns drove to the
m.ll platform and loaded on the grain.
AS he was driving away, the detective
appeared and told him he had bet er
not go away for the present.
Stearns was said TO be dumfounded.
1t is sad Stearns took the grain
to his place which was near by and
later he carried It to his two farms
which were stocked and where he fed
it ou'.
/ Stearns method OF operation was to
20 to the mill at a very early hour in
the morning, slide the bolt on the
door by means OF long pole slid
through a cat hole Then he would
enter the door, set out what bags OF
grain he wanted, slide the bolt in the
door back in place and return home to
wait unll daylight. He would then
appear with his teann and get the
grain. If anyone saw HIN he could
say tha he had the grain set out the
night before, not an unusual custom
With all doors locked and barred as
they were the night before it has been
a mys .ery for long time how the
gram disappeared, but the owners
knew that some wholesale stealing
was going on Suspicion was fastened
on S earns about ten days ago. 1t
has been a wonder how he had been
able to keep so much stock en- so lit
tie actual purchase of grain, since
his barns always appeared well sup
pied.
Stearns made restitution of $2,765
to the Seabury estate of which 5000
was on book account for current pur-
chases and $4,000 debt for what
grain he had stolen Of which 5000 was
for expenses. He KEEP account of the
grain which he had taken away, ac-
cording to his cwn books it totalled
$1,SO0
Stearns entered a plea Of guilty
Considering the restitution and other
features in the case, Judge Scott fined
him $500 and sentenced him to the
sta'e prison for not less than one nor
more than six years, for burglary
Hence it is seen that the fine and
restitution payment amounted to more
than $4,000
/ Stearns is abou1 As years of age,
medium build and slight, with hair
turning gray. His face was unusually
long this morning,

WASHINGTON COUNTY
LOST 2,7S1 IN CENSUS
Decrease of Population Reported at

i'm Ten Years

Washington, D. c., Aug. THE cen
sus CT Washing .on County, Vt, is 49,
921, a decrease of 1881, or 6.7 per
cent.
The population of Washingtonacoun
ty in 1910 was 41,702, the county be-
ing the third largest In the state, Rut-
land and Chit enden counties being
larger Windsor county stood next to
Washington county in the 1910 cen
sus, with total of 33,6S1. Whether
Windsor county has displaced Wash
ington county in the third position Is
ye to be learned 1t is likely, how
ever, the Windsor county has made
a considerable gain owing to the pop
ulation increases in the towns of Wind
sor and Springfield as already noted
When the returns are in it will prob
ably be found that Washington coun-
ty is still third, although by narrow
margin.
