No Fears Are
Shown
BY E. J. PAYNE.
Says Clinton Police Can
Find Him at Crawford House

Clinton, Nov Be. ]. Payne. or
John" Payne, as he is signing his
name since he left town, is apparently
making no effort to keep out of the
way Of Chief Lasalle Of Leominster,
and the people who sent out a police
alarm for him. He is corresponding
with several persons in Clinton, and
all his paper is paper of the Crawford
Hotel, Boston.
In letter to a person whose ac-
quaintance he formed while he stopped
at the American House, he says If
the police want me they can find me
AT the Crawford Hotel any evening af-
ter o'clock"
Mrs. Royal Childs is pleased because
the check for $40 that Payne sent for
his board is paid. 1t was a cashier $
check and good as gold.
The Leominster bank, however, has
not up TO this time received check
for the $500 it loaned on the Leominster
property
Nor has Attorney Samuel W. Long
ley, who represents w. w Wright, been
able to get at the character and the
value Of the land in Middleboro for
which his client holds a deed given by
Payne
Mr.. Longley said to the Clinton cor
respondent of The Spy, this morning,
that he had written to the Middleboro
authorities twice without receiving a
response, and was about TO write
again.
The identity Of the woman whom
Payne introduced TO Mr.. Mayo, the con-
yeyancer of the Ieeminster bank, as
his afIianced wife, is unknown. She is
70, In 10 r4ff.
Payne is not an educated person. He
writes poor hand, and his orthog
raphy is only worse than his chirog-
raphy.
The Ladies Missionary Society Of the
Presbyterian Church gave a supper,
fair and sale in Red Mems Hall this
evening. 1t was successfully conduct
ed and netted nice sum for the church.
After the supper there was phono-
graph entertainment Miss Minnie
Lister played a piano solo with excel
lent technique and was applauded.
The fancy work table was in charge
Of Misses Maggie Narrower Fannie
Evans, Sieretta Gilmore, Mary r.
Johnston, Maggie Gromie and Maggie
McCaig. Ice cream was served.
! Mrs William Smith and Mrs. John
b. Johnston presided over the candy
table.
Mrs. Robert Johnston and Mrs. James
Dickinson managed the coffee urn, and
Mrs. John A. Johnston and Mrs. James
Harmon attracted custom to the cake
table.
Agnes Johnston was cashier. The
ice cream was dished by James Dickin-
son and Thomas Ewart
Work on the big cistern that is to re-
ceive the sewage of this town, before 1t
is pumped to the filter beds, is IN an
advanced state. Order is coming rap

ing well is entirely dug and cemented,
and the sheeting on the sides OF the
trench in which the concrete wall OF
the reservoir will be laid, is nearly
driven The work Of excavation has
proceeded as far as is safe until the
wall is started. The excavation has
been made precisely as if for a circular
cellar TO a depth Of ten feet or more, to
a, diameter Of something like 125 feet.
Within this a trench is dug into the
ouicksand that forms the bottom, and
six feet deeper. Sheeting keeps the
quicksand from forcing its way INTO
the trench and filing it. AS fast as the
trench is ioored it is filled with a con-
crete made Of coarse stones and cem-
ent. When the circular wall Of cement
is brought UP to the level Of the noof
of the main excavation, the core" can
be dug out, when it will only remain

feet deep in the bottom, ana compete

The work Of last nights town meet
ing has borne the criticism of one
whole day, and no flaws nave peeh
found in it. 1t but remains for Town

There is a feeling among the politi-
clans that perhaps Corp. John Cannon
may not be the successful applicant
for the job on the police force new
and strong dark horse candidate Is
talked Of in the places where the men
who make policemen meet.
There is a question as to whether
the new place will be permanent or en-
dure only while work on the litter beds
and the reservoir is going on. If It
should prove that the incumbent VIII
have only a few months employment,
competition will be less eager than it
is now. The selectnan believe the town
needs more police protection, and Will
make every effort to keep all they get.

less a very sick man. Few men in the
ordinary walks of life are better known
here than Michael Dooley.
