The Coat Came Back.
Two West Side young men, once upon a
time bosom friends, speak not as they pass
by, and the friendship which bound them
as one, is no more. The cause of this sud
den coldness is of recent origin, and dates
back but few days. These two young
men visited Pawtucket two evenings ago,
and having no place in particular to go,
stopped into the many pool-rooms to pass
away an hour or SO. While one of the
friends was engaged in the mysteries of
that fascinating game the other friend
quietly walked OF with his overcoat and
when the latter was asked about the mat
ter denied all knowledge of it.
The circumstances were related to De-
tective Haberlin of the Pawtucket police
force, and he interested himself in the
pearance as mysteriously as it had dis
appeared. No further trouble will be
made about the case, as the property has
been returned, and the owner is perfectly
satisfied.
