Tuesday by Chief Thompson to board out
their fine at the house of correction. Andrew
Coleman and Matthew Maher, the other side
of the quartet, paid their fines and were dis
charged. All the liquor came from over the
river.
There is no elueto the burglars who broke
into J. G. Day Il Co.'s store on Wednesday
night of last week. Chief Thompson is of
the opinion that it was the work Of some To-
cal tough, but can find no evidence against
any one. The fact that Wider's hotel at
SaXton's River was entered Thursday night
and small sum of money stolen makes more
plausible the theory that one or more W Oud-
be professional burglars are travelling
through this section. High class crooks would
hardly bother with so small a job as the one
at SaXton's River, oil the line Of railroads,
and local thieves do not as Il rule visit nearby
towns so soon after making failure at home.
While Fields MINISTRIES band was playing
in the street Saturday afternoon, G harles
Robertson drove his young colt through the
square. The colt became frightened at the
music and was unmanageable for n few
minutes, dashing down through the crowd.
Everyone got out of the way but Freddie
Sanford, who was knocked down by the
! horse, and the carriage passed over him. He
curled himself up in a ball, and the wheels
| did not strike him. slight bruise on the
head was his only injury. The escape fir ON
a serious accident was miraculous. MIR. Rob-
ertson got his horse under control about the
| time the boy was struck, but could not stop
in time to avoid the accident, and he can
hardly be blamed for it.
Trainmen on the freight from Rutland
Tuesday night discovered that one of the
cars had been broken into and men were
stealing ride. On arriving here, officers
were notified and an attempt was made to ar
rest the gang, three In number. One was
captured, but the other two got away. The
fellow who was caught and lodged In the po-
/ Hnno takf - III
claiming West Rutland as his home. He says
the other men broke the seal Of the car, al
though he warned them. He gave the names
of the other two as Tom Farrell and John
O'Brien, both of West Rutland and says they
| were on their way to Boston in search of
work. O'Nei will have a hearing to-day and
will probably be taken to Rutland for trial.
There is good joke going the rounds on
| popular young man who is soon to become
| bel edict. lie saw ain advertisement in THE
TIMES of bargain sale of underwear at one
of the dry goods stores, and concluded it
| would be good chance to save dollar. He
bought halfa dozen suits, and the clerk of
course asked no questions. The young man
didn't examine his purchase until the follow
Ing evening, when he was Mortified to find
| himself in possession of a lot of female
wearing apparel. Then it dawned upon him
that clothing store would have been more
appropriate place to look for mems under
| wear. By strange fatality the young lady
whom he hopes to marry made similar par-
chase at the same store, and that is why some
of the clerks smile whenever they meet the
young man. His name has been kept an in
violate secret, but you all know him.
Do you think times are bad justn now? Well,
you've no idea of how bad they are. 1t must
be u tough condition of affairs when man
who deserted from Uncle Sans regular army
four years ago will come around and give
himself up to an officer and ask to be taken
back to the army where he can get three
meals day and place to sleep at night. Yet
that is just what William E. Hineman did.
He deserted from the army in Washington
territory (now state) four years ago, having
become sick of the service. With the bust
ness depression he was thrown out of work
and compelled to tramp about the country.
Matters came to such pass at last that army
life seemed like heaven in comparison and he
) determined to go back. Accordingly he gave
himself up to Chief of Police Thompson, told
his story and asked to be taken to the nearest
military fort. Chief Thompson communicate
ed with army officers in Boston and yester-
day morning took his prisoner to Fort War
rem in Boston harbor. OF course the man
will have to serve term of imprison-
ment for desertion and then finish the
term of service for which he was enlisted; ;
but he evidently prefers that to tramping
about the world
