SLICK SOLOMON SILVER.
He Sold Soap and spectacIes In Man
ner Peculiar to Himself.

Selling spurious spectacles cost slick
Solomon Silver seven silver dollars Satur-
day. Silver was jew who came to Brat
tleboro to sell soap and he sought Prospect
Hill as a field in which to begin opera
tious. He would show his goods and
when he was about to leave the house he
would casually remark that while coming
to Bratteboro on the cars he found pair
of gold bowed spectacles which he had
been allowed to keep, as the conductor Of
the train could find no owner for them,
and IL any member of the household was
In need of a pair of "specs" they had an
opportunity to buy good article for lit
tie money. Several pairs were worked off
in this way, one Of which was bought by
G. F. Reed Of Central street. Mr.. Reed
discovered, soon after, that the spectacles
were worthless and he laid the matter be-
fore Chief of Police Hall. Mr.. Hall met
Silver near Milestone bridge and took
him into custody. States Attorney Robb
happened to be in Bratteboro that day
and the case was placed in his hands. Sill
yer was arraigned before Justice w. S.
Newton on the charge of selling without a
license. He pleaded guilty and was fined
81 to pay the costs of the court and was
enjoined TO leave the state, which he prom
lsed TO do. lie said that his home was In
Troy, n. Y, and that he had sold specta-
Giles and soap for several years. He had
evidently been through the mill before, as
he was in no hurry to leave town, and 1t is
known that on Monday he worked off sew
eral more pairs Of spectacles on the resi-
dents of Western avenue.
1t has been learned later that Silver
operated on Clark and Canal streets. One
woman agreed to take the spectacles for 80
cents, but found that she had only AZ
cents in change, but the sum was accepted
in payment for the spectaces. This
woman recognized Silver as a man whom
she saw last summer at Hopkinton, Mass,
when he sold pair of spectacles to her
sister for 80 cents. The pair bought at
Hopknton had good lenses. After leaving
Hopkinton the peddler was arrested for
some swindling operation at South kram-
ingham. He was fined about $40. He
claimed at first that he could not pay the
fine, but later pulled down his stocking,
produced a roll Of bills and settled with the
police court officials. 1t was believed by
some Of the Massachusetts, people that the
peddler had spectacles that had been stolen,
and that he pretended to sell soap in order
TO dispose of spectacles.

THE LAST GRAND ROUNDUP. "
"BrOnchO jack Posed az Cow
Puncher Evangelist, hut was Evil
IDENTIFY a Dead Heat.

"BrOncho Jack" Posed a. Cow
PWnoher Evangelist, but wAs Evil
IDENTIFY a Dead Heat.
Mr. and Mrs. "Bronco jack of Colorado
were the star actors in cowboy drama
which was enacted in Brattleboro the first
of the week These two representatives
of the plains first appeared in Brattleboro
Sunday in the habiliments of the Wild and
woody West, and, after engaging quarters
at Bacon's restaurant, proceeded to post
about town placards advertising that lee
ture would be given in Grand Army hall
on Monday night by reformed cowboy
on The Last Grand Roundup" His
lecture was fairly well attended and it was
evident from his talk that he was acquaint-
ed with the ways of the world.
At about midnight Mrs. Bacon and her
daughter, who occupied room next to
that of the cow-puncher at the restaurant,
were awakened by sudden jar, and Judged
from the epithets which were being ex-
changed by the Westener and his wife that
their reformation had suffered a sudden
relapse.
The next morning the cowboy went out,
stating that he was to collect his posters.
He has not been seen at the restaurant
since. His wife sought out Chief of Police
Hall, TO whom she told a pitiful tale.
Among other things she said that her hus-
band had deserted her three times before.
She said that before coming to Bratteboro
they stayed at the home of a minister in
Greenfield. Mr.. Hall telephoned TO Green
field and found that the cowboy had re-
turned there and had borrowed money of
the minister TO pay his fare 10 his next
stopping place, stating that his wife had
left him in Brattleboro and had taken all
his money.
His wife left for Greenfield on the morn
ing train Wednesday, having been given 81
bv different persons with which to pay her
fare. After both the cowboy and his wife
had gone broken pitcher and lamp chimney
were found in their room, which may pos
sibly account for the jar by which Mrs.
Bacon was awakened. The conclusion is
that ''put up job was enacted in order
TO obtain money TO pay transportation
from town TO town.
"Broncho Jack" attempted to give lee
lures at Greenfield before coming here, but
the authorities silenced him.
