London, March 13. 4â€"The story of a mysterious trunk which was on board the Frederik VIII” the steamer which brought Count Bern- stoiff from the United States to Co- 111 1111.10.111 is given prominence by the Express The trunk is said to hmr been consigned to Stockholm b} the Swedish Minister to the U. S. and to have borne the seal of the S\\‘edish consulate in New York. The story says that the trunk was held at Halifax. because its seals had been broken and that it will be sent to England by a B11t1sh \n .11 ship. After it reaches the British capital it will be turned oVer to the Swedish Legation, where its con- tents will be examined in the pre- smcc of British officials. The Ex- press suggests that the trunk was opened between New York and Hal- ifax to permit the insertion of Soâ€" cret documents belonging to Count mu Bernstortl‘. Barrie Hospital Free of Debt Two Booze Offenders Salted THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. Two brothers, George and Russell Harvey. and a nei hbor boy, Clarence Frendt, comprise a trio of youthful thieves that were brought here from Elmwood on Wednesday morning last and arrainged before Magistrates Tol- ton and Richardson in the Town Hall for pulling off a real burglary stunt by entering the store of John Thaler at Elinwood on Sunday night while the proprietor was at church and stealing a large quantity of cigarettes. tobacco, playing cards, knives. gum and pipes. The trio, who were all un- der 14 years of age, met on Sunday af- lternoon and planned the burglary, {which they carried into effect in the {evening by forcibly entering through the back door. They escaped With their plunder to a nearby bush, but on the robbery being discovered, they were easily tracked the next day by the foot-prints in the snow to the woods. where the loot was recovered. They remained hid in the bush until about8 o’clock Monday night when they returned to their homes and were arrested by Chief Ferguson of Walkerton. On being arraigned be- fore the court here on Wednesday they were let off, by their parents agreeing to pay the costs of the action which amounted to $24.00, as well as compensating the store-keeper for the damage done 'to the goods. Ma is- trate Tolton also severely repriman ed the youthful trio, who, he said, should have been at Sunday School instead of planning thefts. Walkerton Heraldg ‘ W'illiams. Who boards in his brother’s shotel there. was found guilty of keep- , ing the moisture for use in his trunk. and was assessed by the court $200 and costs for the offence. The other case had to do with a Lion’s Head liveryman, CharlesTyndall. who while driving a party out to a sale, claimed that a bottle of booze that had myster- iously got into the cutter rol'ed up against their heels on the trip. and picking it up be sampled it and set it | down on the seat between them. The other fellow then picked it up and sampled it and set it back on the seat. They kept picking it up and setting it down until the man who hired the rig. it, seems, got full, and at a previous Icourt was fined $10 for being intoxi- , cated. Inspector White decided to go after the scalp of the liveryman, who it seems imagined he was immune he- ‘cause he was neither drunk nor had handed the booze to his mate, he merely setting it down on the seat and 7 the other gent picking it up. He wasj fined $200 and costs for keeping liquor} in other than a private house, thel court holding that on finding it he should have thrown it away and not kept it in the rig. On returning the Ins ector seized three cases of hoozel at \‘i’iarton, which were addressed to l a party in that town who nobody: seemed to know. Another case will: likely develop if the claimant appears, as it seems that is too big a shipment for any one man to get.-â€"-Walkerton i Herald-Times. = Youthful Thieves Caught Chronicle Want Ads.
