Trouble BreWing~For tie
Liquor Officers.
MOTHER CLAIMS HER CHILD
OF For Denver Good News From the
West Notes.

There is trouble ahead and the citizens
Will soon be treated to an affair out of the
usual course of events In the workings OF
some of the town officers. II is a we'll
known fact that several who last year
filed the positions of liquor officers were
this year dropped, but for what reason
they do not appear to know. Another
fact Is that since the present Council ap-
pointed committees, especially on police,
this branch Of the town fathers colony
have carefully looked after those ap-
pointed to the position. The salary is not
much, but then 1t is an office, and serves
as peacemaker at times when trouble is
brewing just previous to an election.
Some OF these appointments were
hurriedly made and now some of the
Council want to release the Office holders
without causing too much discord, but
discord or not, Councilman Jordan opened
the ball and let the cat out of the bag.
lie states that one In particular (whose
name Is withheld for certain reasons)
has been abusing the rights of the Office
and has been reported to him being In an
intoxicated condition several times. He
league with liquor dealers, and that he
had been informed that he formerly ran q
barroom and tended bar for others. This
Is not the kind of men we want I'm such
positions, and men should be there who
should do good work. There are places In
the upper portion of the town that are
selling liquor without license. These
officers should be brought before the
Council.
Town Sergeant Keene, who has no au-
thority over these special officers, re-
quested two of them to attend dance re-
Gently where he thought beer was sold.
| He furnished them money out of his own
pocket to get sales, but he states the men
made hurried inspection and then de-
parted. The town sergeant also stated to
a Councilman that two OF the special Of
| ficers he had found under the influence
| of drink, and warned them to desist from
such violation of their Office In the future.
Mr.. Keene is somewhat dissatisfied at
the manner of behavior OF not a few OF
these special officers under the liquor law,
though practically speaking his hands
are tied and he has no authority. The
Council will probably investigate, and
satisfy the public.
The sheriff Did 1t.
On the hourly train which arrived here
at 3:15 yesterday afternoon, there aIighted
| a moe looking Norman dressed In a nea:
costume. She was accompanied by
we'll known sheriff of Providence, who ac-
| companied her to house on High street
where after serving the proper papers he
took possession of bright appearing boy
four years Of age, as he was ordered to do
| by the Supreme Court. The re.union of
mother and child was affecting and the
return to the depot was a joyful one. The
| couple were married mt Pawtucket six
year, ago, and resided here. The father
| Is well known here and when he left his
| wife for another he sent the child here
to a relative. The mother has secured a
divorce and has been given the custody
of the child. The mother Is the daughter
