The boys. whose names are be-

the Main and Hoyt streets and Van
Buren avenue district. Two are but
li years old. while the third is 18.

youngsters apparently resumed their
criminal career immediately after
they were last hailed into court and
told that they would be sent away.

district police station this morning.
under close questioning by Sergeant
' Bryan ' H. Silk and Policeman
Brown, they confessed to another
series of misdeeds that have remain-
ed unsolved mysteries for weeks.
Among the latter was the theft
of I. light roadster with a truck
body. belonging to Mrs. Richard H.
Timmons of the Hill Top inn. from
a garage about a month ago. The
roadster was left stalled upon the
railroad tracks at Mechanic street

They also confessed to \having
.stoien on another occasion two light
automobiles from the yard of the
R. H. Grant Sales company in Nor-

wbeing the gang that broke into the
grain elevator on Cross street now
owned by the Francis H. Leggett

was unoccupud.
Last night'the three broke into

into the barber shop of Ralph De-
Coie next door. At the Austin store
they stole small change. icigarets
and pies worth about $6. while‘the
Lbarber shop failed to produce any- .
ihin of value to them. Mr. DcCole
'repoited to the police that he had
Jaken an inventory and said that
”nothing had been found missing. His
cash register had been left open last
night as usual, the cash having been
.cleaned from the drawer at closing
time. Entrance to his shop was
made by ripping the screen from a
back window and forcing the bolt. _

Length Of This
Fish Is 0. K. But
Breed Is Amended
The real. honest-to-goodness
truth about one fish story has
leaked out. It seems that about
a week ago two fishermen went
fishing and came back with a
Whopper. The fish in question was
a pike. "21 inches long." The old
fishermen whistled when they
heard the tale and. to add insult
to injury, a public print stated
that the fish Mid be stuffed and
placed on public exhibition.
After waiting seine time for
the exhibition. friends of the
fisherman grew curious and on
investigation found that the men-
ster of the deep was 21 inches in
length. all right but it was an eel
and'not a pike.
The. names of the two fisher-
men. one from Norwalk and one
from East Not-walk. were being
withheld out of sympathy for
their aspirations to Barnum's
crown. but were today given out
unofficially as Frank F. Allen and
‘Jiaroid H. Lsndis.

He stated that within the last

Other matters considered at the

a rate of 81.200 a. year. Assuming
that only lo other smaller carnivals
reach together a total of $2.000 a

tribution is such that no Norwalk
merchant can hope to compete.
"The example is only one" he
said and he went on to enumerate
a dozen instances. "The thing has

wonder that the, merchants have

the train an informal group photo-

A meal consisting of sandwiches.
crullers chocolate and lemonade
was served on the train. Ice cream
also was to be had at all times. and
most of the men were also provided
by their friends with refreshments. i
there was no fear of any one dying
of starvation. It was a sweltering
dim. but there was a good circula-
tion of air through the car windows.
A short stop was made at the Penn-

there was a long delay at Manhat-

steam engines took the place of the
