According to Sumner'- story He Had just
Drawn II In the Thlevea, Lottery.

HARTFORD. July 12.-E- G. Summer. wealthy
resident Of Mansfield Centre. to-day excitedly
told Capt. Hillhouse Of the Willimantio police
force that he had been robbed OF $4,000. AS
he was on his way to New Britain to attend the
Baptist State Convention. no hadn't time to
STOP but wanted the Captain to look tho
case UP.
His story was that early In the morning two
young strangers came to his house In q car
riage. claiming to be the nephews OF one bank
man and the cousins OF another They wanted
to see some If the Doctors land. as they pro-
posed buying q summer resort for their
mother The doctor got into the carriage with
the strangers to drive over the land. On the
way one Of the strangers produced pack Of
cards and asked tho doctor to draw. He did
so. and was informed that he had won $25,O 900.
and 1t was paid to him.
Later the other stranger said there had been
cheating In that drawing. and demanded the
money back from the doctor. Tho latter re-
fused TO give It up when 1t was taken from
him by force. He jumped out Of the carriage
and wns picked un by neighbor on the way
to Willimantic. There he told his story and
left Immediately on the train.
The team which the strangers had was
obtained from Liyeryman Stone and was re-
turned to him at q O'Clock tonight from Leba-
non Station. where the non took train.
From the strnuReness OF the story 1t is
thought tho doctor Ind become insane and
his brother telephonsd to tho Hartford police
to look out for him. The doctor is very in
dignant at this phase OF tho situation.

!ivered the anti dancing order he and his
brother preacher strolled around the grounds
nnd toox q turn at tho Negroes head, the in
duccment being three balls for five cents. a
good cigar every time YOU hit him."
Pastor Ianderwart Ia n very little man,
supple and quick of movement. am bidextrous,
with tendency to use tho left hand In cmer-
twired the three balls with his left hand and
with such accuracy as to win the cigar which
he even attempted to smoke. Dominic John
son was less fortunate as a ball tosser. These
facts are vouched for by several persons, in.
Guiding attendants and members OF Mr.. Van
derwarts church.
Many Of the children and older people fol-
lowed the example OF heir pastors. to tho en-
Eichment OF the man who dealt out the balls
They also tried to ring the canes. and teams
from the two churches had n match gRmo OF
ten pins. In which representatives OF the Sec
2nd Church were victorious by large score.
Vanderwart is a vigorous denouncer OF all
manner OF gambling. He startled the town
not long ago by o sermon on clubs. with
special references to the dcmoralizing inhu-
ence Of the Qritani Field Club and the Hacken-
sack Club. He was particularly severe on card
parties and every form Of gaming, whether for
stakes or amusement He declared the the
atre to he the ante room to hell. the average
club the portal to dissipation. the average bill
lard parlor and the vestibule to eternal dis
grace. and he said:
I never In my lie saw a woman OF any &C.
count that played cards or read novels"
These utterAnces are now recalled in view OF
the cigar he won. People are asking what is
the moral difference between throwing balls
at n negro's head for prize and playing the
races or dancing?
