Usurped q wife's Place.
The West Side Is considered the infant
portion of the smallest city in the State,
but for all of that 1t creates more genuine
sensations than all the rest of the city put
together. A short time ago a couple living
not far from "Weeden's Worry" had some
Misunderstanding and the woman con-
cluded that she would go it alone. Ac-
cordingly she packed up her belongings
and left for parts unknown. Hubby did
not take the desertion seriously to heart,
nor did he attempt to commit suicide in
the debths OF Keene's reservation on Ions
dale avenue; not he, but did more sensi-
BILE thing, namely: He hired another
woman to chop the wood, bring up coal
and have his slippers warm for him upon
his arrival home from his daily toll.
The woman of his heart, the choice of
his young manhood was watching events
from nearby retreat, and becoming con-
vinced that affairs in her former abode
were running little too smooth decided
return and oust the new housekeeper. She
appeared at the house Saturday evening,
and for time the neighbors thought that
a western cyclone had struck that quarter
of the city. The new housekeeper refused
to go, and the lord of the manor sustained
her in her ultimatum. An officer was sent
for, but as the affair was somewhat COM
plicated, he refused to interfere until for
NAL charge had been preferred. At last
accounts the new housekeeper was holding
her own, with the discarded wifey a good
second, but gaining upon the leader.
Clotbes,ine Thieves.
Clothesline thieves are about again ply
ing their nefarious business and despoil-
ing well laden lines of their contents. One
evening last week two families living on
Fuller avenue left their washing out over
night, the lines being filled with clothes
to the value of over S2O. Some time dur
ing the night the places were visited by
miscreants who carried OF the major part
of the contents. The same night a raid
was made upon washings hung out in a
yard in Dempsey's court, Pawtucket. 1t
seems there is gang working systematic
ally at this business, going from one city
to the other. The matter is now being in
vestigated by the police, and the speedy
capture of these thieves will put check
to future operations in that line.
Popular Young Man Dead.
Frank III. Burnham, son of George A.
Burnham of Rand street, died last night
at the residence of his father, in his 18th

exceptional character, pleasant and agree
able at all times he won and retained the
good will and esteem of all with whom he
came in contact.

IL. G.l.4 81 ~

be sadly missed by his companions.
