A plea of guilty was entered by the young men and both were committed to the State Industrial School at St. Anthony. The boys were evidently intending to do a wholesale job while they were at it, as they had entered several houses and were cashing the goods in an empty house in the west side of the town near the railroad track. They were discovered while in the house occupied by J. M. Stevens near the Payette Mills. Mrs. Stevens was away at the time and Mr. Stephens, on returning to the house shortly after dark on Sunday evening heard some one leaving the house by way of the kitchen door as he entered the front door. He quickly ran around the house and captured the lads before they could make their escape. Marshal Jeffries was notified and he brought them before Judge Ledman. Among the articles stolen were two suits of clothes and a pair of shoes which were taken from the Jap restaurant, and from other places, two ladies gold watches, revolver, search light, khaki shirts, slippers, pocket knife, and a lot of keys. Judge Ledman, who is also Deputy Sheriff, started for St. Anthony with the boys Tuesday evening.
