MISSING PRISONER IS FOUND IN OVEN
   BRIDGEWATER, April 1.—Arthur Gaudette, a prisoner missing since March 17 from the state farm, was found hiding in a large unused oven by Officer Guilford Hartney. Discovery was made through footprints in soot about the oven. The prisoner remained in the oven during the day and at night came out like a mouse and ransacked the kitchen for food.
   Gaudette resisted capture and it was first planned to build a fire beneath the oven and smoke him out, but two husky guards finally overpowered him.
