FIND BROTHERS \
GUILTY OF THEFT

Chester L. and Elmer StaCkhouSe,
brothers, Of Boutelle avenue were
found guilty in the Municipal court
Friday morning of the larceny OF
two bicycles belonging to Leon and
Raoul Michaud, brothers. who are en-
ployed at the Hollingsworth and
Whitney mills. The Stackhouse boys
were sentenced to four months in the
county Jail but sentence was sus-
pended on payment of costs and they
were placed on probation for one
year. during which time they will be
required to report to the City Mar
shall the last Saturday in every
month.
They later agreed at the Office of
their attorney, Carroll n. Perkins TO
pay damages amounting 20 SIG to the
Michaud boys to pay for the repaint-
ing of the machines and some other
repairs made necessary by their us
age while in the possession of the
Stackhouse's.
The case was an interesting one
from the point of the conflicting
stories told by the defendants. They
told Recorder Plumstead Thursday
night that they had bought the BIZ
cycles on Saturday from a man on
Silver street but yesterday in court,
they said that they had bought them
on Tuesday last. The bicycles had
been painted, concealing their natur-
al colors, but were fully identified by
the Michaud brothers.
Chester l.. Stackhouse testified that
he came down street on Tuesday at
ternoon between five and six O'Clock
to do an errand at Gerrish and
Smiths on Silver street and when he
came out he saw a man with wheel
and another was leaning against the
building. He asked if the wheels
were for sale and made 4 trade with
the man for their purchase, together
with his brother who was with him
and they rode their wheels home. He
said that he did not know the man
from whom they purchased the
| wheels only by sight and had not
seen him since. but that he was
short and stout. He and his brother
| work at the kennebec Boat and
Canoe shop and rode the wheels to
their work. They were left on the
platform of the shop. where they
were seen and identified by Leon
! Michaud Thursday evening. He ask
ed Walter Grant, superintendent of
the shop, to whom the wheels belong
ed and he told him to the Stack
house boys. Michaud then telephoned
to the City Marshal who took them
into custody.
Both Mr.. Grant and G.. f. Terry,
proprietor of the business stood 10y
ally by their employees, the latter go
ing bail for them Thursday night and
both of them appearing in court Fri
day morning and testifiying to their
excellence of character

Friday Afternoon Destroys Barn
Owned by Mrs. Elizabeth Mulligan

No. and hook and ladder responded
to the call from box II at 4.0S P. NJ,
and on arriving on the scene the men
found brisk blaze in the roof of the

laid, but the fire had gained much head
way and only the fine work of the fire
department saved the house. In the ell
of the house the roof and one wall of the
kitchen burned.
The total loss on buildings and furni-
ture was estimated at about 500, COW
cred by insurance. The cause of the
fire is not known. 1t was rumored that
the children playing with matches in
the barn started the fire, but Mr. katon
stated that he questioned the children
and they denied it. Mr.. and Mrs. katon
were both away at the time the fire
started
From the sparks of the fire the roof
of the house of William L. B. Chase at
So Middle street caught fire but was put
out before much damage was done The
