Sunday night at twelve o'clock, Luke S.
Crowthers entered the residence of Mrs.
Julia A. Durkee by a window and sat down
near a stove and was talking aloud to him
self, which alarmed the household when he
was found and could not seem to explain
how he came in that situation. Officer f.
l.. Howe was called, who took him in
charge, conveying him TO the county Jail for
keeping until his hearing next Monday.
His home is in West Gardner, Mass, and
he seems to be out of his mind, caused by a
hard spell Of drinking, and cannot r~ecollect
how he came so far from home.
