Wells River begins to experience the
effects of railroad enterprise and advane-
ing civilization. One day last week,
Daniel Carney. railroad hand, went to
the store of Peach & Sherwin, picked out
suit of clothes and a pair of boots, and
wanted credit for the same Hadley,
the clerk, laid them aside till he could
find out if it was proper to trust him.
Before he could find out, however, the
customer and boots We're gone. 1t ap-
pears, also, that he had stolen from one
of his chums a silver watch, and from
Mr.. Savage $50 in money. When dis
covered, he was on the train for Boston.
Savage telegraphed to Plymouth, and he
was intercepted, brought to Wells River,
and had a legal interview with Judge
Tabor. The boots were recovered and
the scoundrel, in default of $500 bail,
was sent to Chelsea, plead guilty and
took free papers for years board at
Windsor. 1t was all done within four
, days from the time of the theft.
, And still another. One day last week,
; Edward Sly was going from Boltonville
to the Wells River box factory, and met
four railroad hands. Wanting little
) diversion, three of them got out of their
sleigh and administered good fogging
ton the Siy." One of the gang was
Henry Emerson. who Immediately ske-
daddled for Canada, but was caught at
Newport, returned and called on Judge
Tabor, who charged him 500 for his
part of the diversion. Officers are in
pursuit of the other three diversionists.
