tracks Monday. While admiring nature
and turning over in his mind pet saying
with tramps to this effect: The world |
owes me living and l am going to get it
without working, a new idea crept into
his head to keep company with other
creations. He rolled over near the track
to put his plan into execution. When the
next train was approaching he began to
wave his hand feebly. The engineer,
thinking he had been struck by a proceed
ing train, stopped, and the man was ten

In regard to the one-armed sneak thief
who was released by Chief Egan Monday,
because the Shelton authorities, who asked
that he be arrested, did not come after
him, Constable Burgess of Shelton said 10
an Ansonia Sentinel reporter yesterday:
Early last week 1 was informed that man
had been around the place telling for
tunes, and some of the parties who paid
him money desired me to locate him for
them. They did not get out a warrant for
his arrest and refused to do so. Their
idea, as near as l could learn it, was to
find the fellow and by threats of exposure
frIghten him into restoring their money.
