A gentleman of wide experience in
the hotel business, is endeavoring to
complete arrangements with Messrs.
Fargo and Dickover to rent the second

have an addition built on for kitchen
and more bed rooms, and convert it
into hotel. This is scheme that
there is money in for some one. 1t

There's funny side to the indlct.
ment returned by the grand jury
against A. Handy. 1t is alleged that
Handy with a double barreled shot gun
loaded with powder and ball, did on
the aforesaid day shoot and discharge
said gun, and that the charge struck
SAID party in Fall River county. This
was a mistake, as the charge struck
the plaintiff in the abdomen. On &C.
count of the error in the Indictment
the defendants attorneys have asked
that the sentence recently pronounced
agai st Handy lie set aside, as there
seems to be no law forbidding anyone
shooting Fall River county. Judge
T., Gardner, on Monday, refused to sci
~ aside the verdict, as the Judge SAID that
it made no difference to him what par.
of the anatomy the charge from the
gun hit-whether it vas his Fall Rive,
county or his abdomen. as it wa.
quite evident that the defendant in
tended to kill his man.
Crane Bros. say that they are still
s.in it,"
