in overalIs, shoes and a thin coat, chained
to the seat Of his buggy, and suffering in
tensely from the cold. which literally
frozs the tears on his purple cheeks The
people are greatly excited over the. matter,
and Parsons arrest is all that saved him
from being mobbed. He was released ON
500 bail to appear in court. He stated In
an interview that the Pole was Sc
cured by him at Castle Garden last
May. For the first few months the Pole
worked we'll, but lately has shown signs Of
insanity. Parsons soon conclHded from
his queer actions that the man was insane,
where his countrymen could take care OF
him. He chained him, he said, to prevent
him from getting away. Last night some
Holyokers interviewed the Polander and
learned his story. He is twenty years old.
and came to this country last spring Of his
own accord. He says he had to work very
hard from morning until eleven O'Clock at
night, while Sunday he was kept at work
in the barn. He had been promised $f2 so
a month for his services. but never re-
ceived a cent. When, work failed he re-
turned to Parsons, butwas not well treated
Yesterday morning Parsons put him, into
the wagon and bound him by force. On
his way to Holyokes he says Parsons
stopped several times and left him so long
that he was near frozen when he reached

The fronts of the handsome business blocks
and fine residences are gay with tri-colored
bunting; flags wave, crowds of people throng
the streets, and where 100 years ago the
brave Putnam and his fearless band of forty
eight companions heard only the cry of wild
creatures, the sigh of the wind through the
mighty forests or the murmur of the waves
of the Muskingum and Ohio as they swept
around the boats of the strange visitors and
hurried on to carry the prophetic tdings to
the Mississippi, to-day the air is ringing with
exultant music from a hundred bands, and
echoing with voices of such numbers as not
even the "great towns" of the east could
congregate in those olden times.
The initial exercises were beld in the town
