A QUEER STORY.
Bruno Hoffman Tells the Police Z
Strange Tale.

strange Tale.
A boy calling himself Bruno Hoffman
called at the police Office last evening and
told this queer story. He said he lived at 70
West Seventh street, Boston. That last Sat-
urday while playing ball near the tracks Of
of the Boston and Albany railroad in that
city he was unceremoniously thrown into a
box car by passing tramp and locked in.
The boy cried ont to attract the attention of
the railroad men and obtain his release, but
without avail. He was carried through to
New York, somehow escaping the vigilance
of Special Officer Gilbert in this city. From
New York he started back toward this city
on foot, living on the way on apples and ber-
ries. When he reached New Haven he went
to the police station. Sergeant Driscoll
turned him over to Agent Preston of the
Associated Charities. Mr.. Preston said the
boy seemed starved. He devoured in no
time seven big slices of bread and two large
pieces of cheese and drank q large bowl of
coffee. His story Is Ashy.

Eve hundred men were yelling their opinion
of the umpire in choruses and hundred Of
them were shaking their fists and brandishine
their canes at him. For ten minutes it seemed
that riot was certain, but Powers finally
called the game ana fetlfed TO room under
the grand stand. When he was out of sight
the anger of the pavilion spectators cooled
down; on his return in quarter of an hou,
he was merely asssiled with words. The pa.
vilion is directly opposite first base and those
occupying seats in it saw the play that indi.
rectly caused the row. MoAleer was the first
man at bat and the score was to in fsvo,
