 Heavily Fined in Police Court Arrested For Driving Under ln- hueace-Democrats to Stage Rally Vigilance on the part of Officer Thomas Mccarthy last night not only frustrated an attempted rob bery but also resulted in the arrest of two l7-year-old youths, one by the officer himself and the other ID company with other officers carry this morning. The boys. Paul Dem erals and John Guertin. admitted their guilt and both were sentenced to the Cheshire Reformatory by Judge Joseph NJ Donovan in the city court today.
 Officer Mccarthy, who covers the night shift beat, was assigned to the hill district last night. Shortly after II o'clock last night while trying the doors on Stearns street, he be- came aware of peculiar noises emanating from the vicinity of the | Narcotic Meat Market. He ap- preached the building and just as he reached the front door of the mar ket. he heard the sound of breaking i glass. He hurried to the rear of the building, and arrived just in time to see two men running away. He gave chase and although he fired two shots in the air. the fugitives failed to halt The pursued men then sep arated in an attempt to escape but Mccarthy following a long chase overlook Democrats on Broadview street. He was taken to headauar- ters and after being questioned, im- plicated Guertin. Guertin was ar rested at his home shortly after he arrived there at 1 a. m.
 In police court today Democrats, who speaks but very little English, replied to all questions in monosyl- fables. Guertin, however, was more loquacious, informing the court that they did not break in but simply walked in after the screen had been removed from the window and the pane of glass broken. He ad- mltted that he had been before the court once before for stealing a b:cycla at the John Jennings school hut also insisted that he had paid for it.
 Police officials were inclined to believe that the arrest of the two youths would solve a number of the recent breaks in various parts of the city.
 Market Also Entered
 The Bristol Public Market at 10: North Main street and conducted b, David A. Appel. was also entered some time early last evening, thi, break being discovered shortly after p. m. yesterday. Fifty dollars ir cash was taken from the casf register.
