Hit the Wrong Man.
Last night number of boys had con-
gregated on the side opposite j. Il. Haz-
ards grocery and We're engaged in conver-
sation when he came out and ordered
them away. They objected, questioning
his authority, and were told a second time
with like success. This time Hazard
evidently wanted TO see what virtue there
was in wood, and emerged from his store
armed with a heevy clab The crowd saw
him approaching and vanished. A young
man named Howard Lapham, apparently
not one of the number, was presumably
waiting for somebody at that particular
moment there and did not move. Hazard
struck him three times about the head
with the club and felled him TO the
ground unconscious with as many deep
gashes.
No arrests had been made this morning,
but the police are investigating the matter.
Ii is reported that Hazard drew revolver
on the boy.

To Correct n Mistaken Impression,
Last Monday evening was published an
article in the NEWS under the heading of
Olneyville, which has created decidedly
false impression. The one referred To is
the account of social held in Narragan-
sett Hall, Stokes block, and gotten up by
Fred Snow. The affair was sort of
tear-up, breakup one, and it was so re
ported. IL was headed, "Mr. Snow Evapo-
rated" and "Sons of Veterans Were
take. The Sons of Veterans were in no
way connected with this discreditabe
proceeding, and it is sincerely regretted
that they have been thrown into a false
position.
