YOUTHFUL THIEVES
TAKEN BY POLICE
Tho Quartette of Youngsters Who
Broke Into the "Fair" Novelty
Storo and Their Booty Captured by
Chief McAndrew and Constable
Edward Neary The Young Pris
oners Admit Their Quilt.
The police department of this city
yesterday took In trw a Bans of boys
who broke Into the Fair storo on Sun
flay night and carried off a great load
of booty, such articles from the store's
stock as came under their notlco dur
ing the hurried visit to the place.
The accused lads ate Frank Walsh,
of Pike street; David Jennings, of
Terrace street; Hubert Rrennan, of
lower Main stieet, on Welsh Hill, and
a lad named Mlnnleh, fiom that vl-
clnity. Jennings was ariested first.
He was tsken by Chief McAndrow
about noon, while he was swinging In
the hammock in tho yaid of his par
etns' home, on Terruce street. On the
way to the city Jail and after he had
been Incarcerated, the boy freely con
fessed his wrong-doing, and In his re
cital Inculpated the others, for whom
warrants hart been sworn out before
Alderman Jones. Bronnan's anest
followed. I.Ike Jennings, he attempted
no denial, but believing it to be pru
dent, in tho face of the evidence
against him, to tell tho truth, he ad
mitted his guilt. ,
These two hart a hearing befoic Al
derman Jones, commencing at 4.30 yes
terday afternoon and there, through
the sharp riuestlonlng of tho alderman,
the history of tho gang was made
known.
Brennan was the first one to bo
catechised. He Is 15 years old, tho
son of Michael Brcnnan. He acknowl
edged having led the others Into the
Fair robbery. He made the further
disclosure that two weeks ngo ho was
at the head of the gang when tho four
broke open an Ontario and Western
freight car anrt carried off a quantity
of goods, Brennan said It was about
S.30 Sunday night when the Fair was
entered, but he had the place in mind
since the preceding Sunday, when ho
spied It in company with others of
the gang. On last Sunday, he and ills
followers, Jennings, Walsh and Mln
nleh, went through tho alleyway that
leads from Salem avenue, climbed tip
on the i oof of the building that skins
the Fair stoie and raised the store
window, which, he said, was not fas
tened. Once inside, the gang scattcied,
each one helping himself to whatever
articles struck his fancy. Brennan
rattled off the goods that he stole, tho
enumerations including the following;
Two pocket knives, two tie pins, u
hase ball, tluce ings one watch
chain, a match safe, u pair of oyo
glasses anrt a few toys. The rest of
the gang helped themselves to similar
articles and then they bioko open the
cash drawer. The diawer had to bo
pried open, each one doing his bhaie
to get at the contents, which, It was
bHIexed by the lioyn, would be a con
siderable sum. There weie only a few
dollars, however, which the lads
grabbed, each one snatching what lie
could. Biennan said he got thliteen
cents.
After the lobbety, the lads hastened
with their booty i River stieet, where
they sought a hiding place along tho
bank of the river. The place selected
wasn't desirable, so they went to tho
old rink, on South Main stieet, wheio
they butied ,t number of the articles.
Later. Iltonnitn hid his ill-gotten goods
near the No. 3 school.
The stoiy of the tobbery that ap
peared in the newspapers filled tho
boys with a fear of anest and to es
cape punishment they used several
means of teturnlng the stolen arti
cles. Lads of their acquaintance came
to the Fair store with a few of the
nrtlcles, and on Monday night nren
nan and Jennings bundled up what
part of the booty they withheld and,
tying it in a handkerchief, they de
posited it on the lawn in fiont of tho
home of Mr. Rlegeluth, proprietor of
the Fair, who found them there yes
teictay forenoon.
Riennan told the aldeiman that It
was while he was at woik in the
breaker on Monday that he became
fearful of his misdoings and deter
mined to return the stolen articles. In
relating this, the boy's eyes filled with
tears. Jenning .who is but 12 years
old, three years younger than Hren
nan, did not seem to tealize the grav
ity of his offense, for he was some
what Indiffeient to the proceedings.
tin hearing the story of the hoys, Al
derman Jones recommitted the pair
to the care of Chief Mr-Andrew until
they could get a bondsman.
The captute and breaking up of tho
band of youngsters who piomlsed to
give the police considerable annoy
nnre, were due to the combined ef
forts of Chief McAndrew and Con
stable Neaiy. The latter was called
Into the rate yesterday, and his work
was a big factor in successfully round
ing up the buys.
Walsh and Mlnnleh wero arrested
last nlyht. Walsh was placed in the
city Jail until a hearing this foieuoou,
but Mlnnleh was allowed to go to his
home on his promising to appear at
the healing. Thu police ate satisfied
that Mlnnleh did not take any active
part in the burglary. The disclosiues
of"the othis Indicate he was led Into
the crime, and did not enter the store,
hut remained outside to warn them
of the, approach Qf any pet sou.

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
Differences Betwoon Two Well
Known Youths End in a Quarrel
That Came Near Being- Marked by
Disastrous Consequences Gregory
Hlggins tho Assailant of John
Peol Arrested and Hold in Bail.
Differences between two well-known
youths of this city, Gregory Hlggins,
of tho South Side, and John Peel, e-on
of Mr. and .Mrs. William reel, of Wy
mlng street, led to an assault late on
Monday night, which enmo near to
having a tragic ending. Hlggins stiuck
Peel on the side of the head with a
stone with such violence that it pro
duced a soveie shock of the bialn,
necessitating the calling of two phjs
Iclans, Di. A. F. Olllls and W. J.
Lowry, who when they examined Peel,
marvelled at the narrow escape he
had from a fractuic of the skull. Peel's
stout straw hat was what deadened
tho force of the blow and pieserved
him from dangeious Injuiy.
Yosteiday Hlggins Was ariested at
the instance of Ped'h father. Peel
himself was unable to leave his bed.
Tho charge was one of felonious
wounding, the Information setting forth
that Hlggln did feloniously, willfully,
maliciously, and with intent to kill,
lay In wait for John Pool, deponent's
son, and did strike him with a stono
In the head and did him serious bodily
harm."
Constable Neary ni rested Hlggins,
who waived a hearing, and entcied
ball in tho sum of $:j00 for hl appear
ance at court. John Hlggins, of Can
aan street, an uncle of the defendant,
became his bondsman.
Accordlnd to the stories of witnesses,
companions of the young men, Hlggins
took offence at Peel whistling after him
while In company with a joung lady.
When Hlggins leturned lie took Peel
to task and asked him to step behind
the Antlnaclte building to fettle the
affair of honor. Hlggins at the time
had the stone, a small cobble which
fitted his hand, a clicuinstaiue that
was obsoni'd by Peel, for he shouted
something about It to his companions
as ho left them to accept his adver
sary's challenge. Just as soon as
Peel came within sulking distance of
Hlggins, the aim of the latter shot
out, dealing tho foimer a tenlilc blow
with the stone on the side of the head.
Peel foil under the blow and was un
conscious whien his friends leached
his edde. The blow landed on an acute
ly sensitive part of the head, and be
sldo rendering Peel insensible It caused
the blood to gush from his nose.
When Peel rallied from the shock
he was supported to his home, whero
his 8iiffeilnE increased and to the ex
tent that Dis. Ulllls and Lowry were
called.
Last night Peel was yet suffering
from tho violent shock, but ho was
considerably blighter than the night
before, and the physicians believe he
will iecoer Horn the ordeal with no
peimanent injuiy.
Both young men aie members of
prominent families and the unfortunate
happening Is generally dcploied.
