At $3.50 O'Clock last evening a lean.
diapidsted, forlorn appearing horse was
noticed standing in front of Pettis'
Block, Manton avenue. The animal was
attached to light covered express wagon
evidently used as furniture conveyance,
since the word furniture had once been
painted on either side but had become al
most obliterated with wear. Central
Falls was also discernable' in the letter
ing.
In the team was q quantity OF bagging,
such as is used in wrapping furniture to-
gether with few stray pieces of kitchen
utensils, a coffee pot, q tea kettle, etc.
No one was In charge of the team and
no one remembered seeing il left where
il stood on the side OF the avenue headed
toward Manton village. At o'clock the
attention of the police was called to the
poor horse standing uncovered in the
driving rain. AT 1890, after every shop
had closed, and the streets deserted,
Robert Ridgewell, who has a room at
Pettis' boarding house, opposite where
the team stood, took pity on the horse
and went out, mounted the seat, and
drove to.the Sixth Station. Here he was
told he had better not touch the team or
he might get into trouble, and not caring
to do that he drove back where he got
the outfit and left II standing. At 1:30
O'Clock, after ii had stood through the
doned by every one for nearly seven
hours, officer Henry Place, who was on
duty at that time, stabbed the outfit IL
is supposed 10 belong in Central Falls,
but where the driver went 10 10 one
seems TO know. The police say ii is not
usual to see teams standing in this vi
cinity at a late hour.
