“YOUTH SENTENCED,” Hamilton Spectator. March 5, 1931. Page 7. ---- Speedy Justice Overtook Four Men in West ---- Canadian Press Service Stavely, Alta., March 5 - Ten hours after raiding a store in Stavely, and failing to escape from a posse of citizens and police, four Calgary youths were sentenced to two years in Prince Albert penitentiary on robbery charges yesterday. The four were James Kelly. Franck Becker, Earl Flake and Lawrence Braniss.

With the nearest police constable stationed 13 miles away, townsfolk recently installed their own system of burglar alarms. Early yesterday the system worked perfectly.

As the four entered the store, the alarm rang in the proprietor's home. He signaled the telephone operator, who in turn buzzed phones in every dwelling, bringing out about 40 residents.
