If those two Hydepark beauties, who
paid us visit, last week. and cut up
antics in the streets, think they can lead
astray any of the young men of this
place, they are mistaken. Our young
men are virtuous. and only look with
scorn and contempt upon such actions.
NEWPORT.
David Rollins of Newport Center, met
| with a serious and almost fatal accident,
on Sunday afternoon, the 4th inst. Mr..
Rollins went into the pasture to catch
his horse and without any warning was
attacked by four year old bull. The
bull knocked him down broke two of his
ribs and it is thought injured him inter-
nally. Providentially, the dog heard
the believing of the bull and came to
the rescue of his master. The dog caught
the bull by the throat, drove him away
and no doubt saved Mr.. Rollins from a
horrible death, as the bull had gored
him in nineteen different parts of his
body.
One day last week man giving his
name as Sutton. appeared at the Mem
phremagog house and claimed to be a
member of the firm of H. K. Thurber
& Co., New York city, and that he had
come on in advance to engage rooms for
friends who were then at the Pemige-
wasset house, Plymouth, n. H. Having
occasion to use a little money he stepped
/ into the bank and presented draft on
New York bank purportlng to have
been signed by the above named firm.
The cashier not being acquainted with
him required voucher, and the man
stepped out ostensibly to get recon-
mendation from Mr.. Bowman, but instead
of that he presented the check to Mr..
Leach the clerk of the hotel in payment
of his bill and received the balance in
money, amounting to about $50. On
learning of this transaction, Mr.. Bow
mans suspicious were aroused and he
telegraphed to Plymouth. N. H. to see
if there were such family there as
r named by Sutton, but got no reply. On
further inquiries and taking legal advice
he came to the conclusion that the check
must be forgery and had the proper
papers made out to arrest him. In the
mean time Sutton had purchased tick
ct for Plymouth and took the evening
train, but for some reason stopped at St
Johnsbury and took rooms at Walker 5,
where Mr. Bowman found him. The
next morning, having telegraphed tC
Thurber & Co., to find out if there was
a member of their firm by the name Of
Sutton travelling around the country, and
receiving a negative reply and that he
was a swindler and to have him arrest
ed, the papers were put into sheriff
Preston's hands and the man taken int
custody. He was taken back to this
place and brought before justice Sargent
]. I. Allen appearing for the state and
/ W. D. Crane for the respondent By
the advice of counsel be waived an ex
animation and was put under one thou
sand dollar bail, failing to procure which
