Hurd of the Commonwealth bank, in
conjunction with Receiver Bartlett of the
Peoples Fire Insurance company. They
petitoned the probate court to place Hon.

ing will be given In a few days. This
morning DIR. Moore replied to the move in
his paper, The Onion, as follows:

Sir Henry had a lucky thought.
Ten minutes after the young baronet,
having put on the strangers corduroy
trousers black coat and cloth cap, had

his protector, in the new clothes, had
taken another direction.
Luckily, Ihave another suit in nv

throwing himself on to the scat and
glancing ut his costume.
He reached the station in time to get
his ticket and TO buy an evening paper.

himself in one of the corners.

shake and took up the paper.
IF he really was killed ! shall soon

He looked all through the paper, but
could not find word about the crime.
