A TOWN DISGRACE.
Millbury Town Lookup q Local
Bye.sore.
Officer Smith Makes Peculiar Discovery
in West Side Refrigerator"-other
News Notes.

Many Millbury citizens, as well as
wanderers of the Weary Willie" fami-
ly, are thoroughly disgusted at the dis
graceful appearance of the Millbury
lookup, better known as the west side
refrigerator" Late Saturday evening,
as Constable Charles II. Smith was
making his midnight tour of the town,
he captured a local young man who
was well under the influence of liquor,
and also making his presence known to
the residents in the vicinity of Town
Hall square by setting up continual
bowling, and started to take him to tine
Mllbury lookup. When the officer
reached his destination, he was sur
prised to find the lookup door wide
open and swinging to and fro, making
as much noise at each swing as large
firecracker. Tine officer, putting his
prisoner in the lead, entered the build
ing cautiously and started upon a tour
Of inspection. In one corner Of the
room, all curled up, with several blank
cts wrapped around him, was a knight
of the road who evidently was very
tired as it took several moments to
wake him up When he had recovered
from his amazement, he told the officer
how he came there, and the explanation
was satisfactory. In the opposite cor
ner was stove well Redeemed" with
rust, which gave it the same appear
ance in daylight as if bea1ning fire
was within IN the corridor was a
coating Of snow and ice which had
formed during The evening hours. The
cells We're next visited and were found
to be in nearly the same condition.
AFTER a few moments hesitation Officer
Smith decided to put his prisoner in
the cooler for the, remainder Of the
night, and returned home. The lock-
up was thoroughly cleansed by Health
officer James A. Clark last spring, but

dashed against buildings, vehicles car

large trees snapped off at their roots as
if simply cornstalks, while others were
torn up bodily. The effect of the storm
was shown noticeably in the way electric
wires of all kinds were tangled up. The
tornado touched the beach at a place
half mile north of Whittier's hotel
and cut swath 100 yards wide in a
westerly direction, moving in rotary shape
until it passed out to sea- In an incred-

injury came with the demolition Of the
