joke 30 long in Little Falls that the
community is inclined to hesitate
about considering tho matter very
seriously. But there are certainly
some developements that are con-
v,ncing that there IL something be-
sides amusement In the matter. The
Little Falln 4 Southern Railroad
company, which owns the tracks on
the West side, south Of tho Little
Falls & Dakota tracks, has secured
right oi way for line running from
the Mississippi river ON the East side
sOutheas. for over two miles. Not
all Ut this has yet been hOught from
the owners, as there were three prop
erty holders with whom satisfactory
settlement could not be made. Ac-
cording to the apparent plans, 1t is
proposed to build road from the
main line below the city to the
river just below the island. The
new line starts at the curve two
miles below the city, and IL q
straight extension of the track to
the river. A bridge will cross the
river reaching the West side south Of
the paper mill. The line will then
probably run north not far west of
the canal, and CROSS Broadway
probably within 200 feet Of the river.
North Of Broadway and extending
several blOcks-clear to the Little
Falls & Dakota nearly all, II not
all. Of the property has been secured.
one block within. It IL probable
that the passenger depot would be
placed as near Broadway, on the
north, AZ possible. The change
would remove the railroad yards
from the residence portion Of :. the
city on the East side, and would be
a welcome move by many Of the
owners there. The new
location would be nearer the bust
ness center of the city than the pre-
sent one. The freight yards will be
near the mills that eupply nearly all
the business. and be In u locality
where there is no team traffic to be
interrupted by trains. For half a
mile north from Broadway there ia
no locality that a team has to cross
the rOailroai tracks for business or
pleasure.
The, new location is very con.
venient from a railroad standpoint.
Their presen: yards on the East
tide are cut up bv many crossings,
and II uppld.be absolutely impossi-
bis to give the company all the
facilities they needed there without
greatly injuring large amount Of
residence property east of the tracks.
1t Is impOasIble to state when the
,ext move will be made, but it ia
probable that az additions are made
% the sldetrack at this place they
will he made on the West side.

HAD HIS FUN.
Lifchfield Says He viii Take His Medi-
cine Without Murmur.

Boston, Dec. 2S-Chief Inspector
Watts of the Boston police has estab-
lished the identity of the man who
figured in the strange case in Jersey
City as the man who had forgotten his
name, as Harry A. Litchfeld, who in
1895 was arrested here for taking $1,000
from the Boston Auction Company. of
which he was acting treasurer. Litch-
field was sentenced to the state reform
atory at Concord for an indefinite per-
iod, and after nine months was dis
charged as reformed
The CHIEFS attention was attracted
by the likeness of the pictures of the
unknown man published in the news
papers to that of Litchfeld, which is in
the rogues' gallery here, and from this
and other evidence he soon placed the
man under arrest.
With the money which he took from
the auction company he lived in grand
style and entertained friends at the
highest priced hotels in the city and
the $1,000 was spent in less than a week.
The proceedings aroused the suspicion
of the hotel people, who sent for the
police, and Litehfield was arrested.
When taken to police headquarters he
had only Is cents in his pocket. He ex-
planned the situation by saying:
"a mans an idiot to work for S12 a
week and be held responsible for thou
sands. The man who employs such a
man is bigger idiot took the stuff,
took my chances, was caught red-hand-
ed and here am. l have had my fun
