noticed in him til Saturday when he per
formed queer antics, for which he was
taken in charge by an officer. lie was
al.erward released. on promise Of
leaving town. Saturday afternoon he
called At the Office OF the City Engineer,
Mr.. Pulleu. and not finding that gentle

have been reconciled 10 that part oil II.

Ea8ineer little in making out his annual
report. This he did by covering the
pages OF the report with pen scratches,
crossing out some words, enclosing a
iew in circles, and substituting several.
Saturday evening he again appeared at
the BANGOR House. this time in tho billiard
hall. and becoming weary OF standing
idle, he commenced amusing himself by
lhrowiog carving knives al persons pres
ent. This was carrying joke TOO lar
and he was again arrested and put III
care of jiilor Whitney. Monday he
found fault with his clothing and in
shot, time had torn his coat, YES, aud
