 Last evening Architect Norton went into Phillips fruit store on Washing ton street and purchased a bag of peaches. He then stepped out on the sidewalk where he was accosted by a man pretty well under the influence of liquor who asked Mr. Norton some question. The interrogator was an swered as far as MT.
