totore referred to in this paper. where a
married man from East Burke came
down TO the Good Templar lodge, and
the boys thought too attentive to ii Ger
tain woman not his wife. After noticing
for several weeks his unusual attentions
to this woman, such us having his arms
about hei in the lodge room. and re-
manning at her rooms until late at N ght
after the lodge closed, some boys
what ones our informant cannot state
thought they would trap the man,
believing that his attendance upon the
lodge meetings was only blind So
on Il certain night i'll December, they
saw him leave the lodge before the on
erciSes of the evening were half over,
and enter the house of the woman afore
said. The boys quietly fastened the
outside door 81 as to prevent Il surprise.
and then began their Investigations. as
stated in the CaiedOnidn at the time.

he attempted to leave, which was near
ly eleven o'clock, he having gone in
about eight o'clock. The boys neglect
ed to unflstcn the door when they had
finished their observations. and so the
man made his exit by way of the base
ment. That was all the boys did but
the man, who if reports are true, has
nothing to lose, has been trying to get
the boys prosecuted ever since. He
tried to have the States Attorney take
ii up; but after enquiring at East Burke
and the Centre also. he refused to have
any thing to do with it. Finally he has
persuaded Thomas Bartlett to take the
matter up; and although it is i'll the
woman's name. it is understood that
the man is ut the bottom. If it ever
comes to trial, there will be some reve-
lationS. us the boys SAW enough to con
vince any jury. This is brief outline
of this last attempt to bolster up repu-
tatioh 10y means of the Good TemplaI
lodge and the lawyers. The boys think
they have two good grounds of defense
first. it is all true and second, they
didn't do it, 1t should he remembered
that no one saw these boys. and who
they are is all Surmisr. If the boys
keep shady it will never lie known.
