Augustus Bender and Alexander Ferrari. of New Work city, went to the Bridgeport county jail this morning to serve out a fine of $7 and cost}, which they receIV» ed at the hands of Judge William F. Tammany at the Town Court ‘on a charge of theft. The yottng men, accompanied*by a third. struck South Norwalk yester- day, coming via the freight train route. About 6 o'clock they strolled down South Main street and on the Elizabeth street side of the Clifford Pharmacy they espied a two gallon can of ice cream, which they promptly appropriated. With this in hand they started up the Danbury railroad tracks and coming near Charles A. Sammis‘ born, they offered one of the em- ployees there a portion of their cream, admitting that they had stolen it. Just at this time Mr. Sammie ap~ peered and promptly frightened the. boys into giving up the ice cream and sent one of his young men to get; hold oi‘ at least one of the fellows. The ~ latter smelt the mouse. however. and started up the tracks on a dead run. Mr. Sammie telephoned the police and Captain J. Harry Gibson went to the freight depot, where he succeeded in getting the two mentioned above. The third made good ills escape.
