THE RECORD OF A BAD MAN,
George Hapgood to Be Held TO Answer
to Crimes Committed in
Shrewsbury.

George Hapgood, who was arrested
mere last week and then taken to Gin
ton, where he was arraigned in the dis
trict court, Friday morning, charged
with the larceny of a team from F. l..
FELTON, Of Bolton, and held in $500 for the
grand jury whl be brought to Worces-
ter Monday, and arraigned in the CEN
trail district court, on the charge of as
saulting and robbing Lorenzo Plympton
of Shrewsbury.
The police are convinced they have a
strong case against Hapgood, and,
should he be convicted on all the charges
hanging over him, he will spend a good
portion of the remainder of his life in
prison.
Hapgood is well known in Shrewsbury,
having worked on various farms in that
town. Last summer he assaulted Mr.
Plympton and took $40 from him. He
escaped, however, and went to Hudson,
where me is said to belong.
Mr.. Plympton took steps to have him
arrested and Hapgood sent a friend to
Shrewsbury to return the money and
try to smooth the case over A short
time after, however, Hapgood called at
the house, and, on being refused admis-
sion, started to break in one of the win
dows, and was finally admitted He re-
peated the former assault, iniuring
Plympton so badly he has never reeov-
cred from the effects.
He went through the fallen mans
pockets, took 30 cents and a pair OF
boots and went away. complaint was
lodged with the Shrewsbury officers, and
this case will be brought against him

CHESS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Tournaments to Be Held to Select a
Team-A Challenge to the
Academy.

The boys of the local high schools,
familiar with success in everything they
have undertaken-educ or physi-
cal-have determined to seek laurels in
another field, and for this purpose chess
clubs have been formed at both the
schools. This scientific game has Sc
cured a strong hold on many boys at the
schools, and in the Y NJ C. A. game
room, where the best players of the city
congregate, many of the boys are noted
for the strong game they play. So many
of the boys have shown proficiency in
the game that the idea of forming a
high school chess club occurred to some
of them, and to that end clubs have been
organized in both schools. To determine
the members of the high school team,
the boys of each school decided to have
tournament of their own, and the best
five players from each school will meet
to settle the positions on the school team
and incidentally to decide the champion
ship of the two buildings.
AT the classical high school the NOV
ing spirit has been H. F. Legg, and he
has associated with him in the classical
school club the following members of
the school, r. A. Fuller, A. M. Butler,
Roger Manning, F. Johnson, Jr., SaWin,
Crawshaw, Gage, A Griswold, R. Girls
void, Stevens, Billiard, Leach, Donald
Logan, Madden, At the English high
school L. L. Macnsmara has taken upon
himself the organization of the club in
that building, and with him the follow
ing boys form the nucleus of the clIb
H. F. Southgate, j. E. Munroe, H F.
Morse, j. H. Turner, K F. Wilson, NJ
Hunt, A. Day, B. L. Herriek, l. N
Pierce, S. A. Mushen, Murch, Forsstedt
The plan agreed upon between Legg
and Mcnamara was q tournament
the five best players from each to meet
and determine the five members Of the
school team. The players at the classical
high school have already held their
tournament and first place was won
by A. Munson Butler. The other mem
bers in the order Of their standing are
Roger Manning, H. F. Legg, r. A.
Fuller and F. Johnson, Jr. The boys at
the English high have not yet held their
tournament, but it takes place some
time this week.
The heads of both clubs have met and
decided to play the match between the
teams for the championship on April l.
The directors of the Y. M. c. A. have
agreed to give the boys the use of Cur
tbs Hall The play win commence at
80 p m. After this game, and when
the school team is decided upon, it is not
unlikely that a challenge will be sent to
the Worcester Academy. Intimation Of
such move has been given to the chess
players of the Academy and they have
informally consented. The formal chal-
lenge will be sent shortly, and then it is
likely that the high school and Academy
rivals in everything-wi add chess to
the list
