George Burt?

Leicester, Jan. 16.-James Adrian. an
inmate of the Leicester poor farm for
over dozen years, left that institution
at about 7.30 o'clock this morning. and
at last accounts had not been brought
back. The fellow is foolish, and is
about 80 years old, having been an in
mate since he was of age. He has never
attempted to leave the place before, as
far as known, and it is q wonder why
he should have left this morning. He
cannot talk intelligently, and was
dressed in a cardigan jacket, overalls,
and wore rubber boots, so that any one
could tell that he escaped from some
such place. Pascal M. Stoddard, man
ager of the farm, told The Spy man
today that one of the inmates saw
him walking off towards Meanwhile at
the time mentioned, and that is the
last known of him.
George Burt, who lives with his
grandmother Mrs. Mary Ann Burt, in
the west part of the town, left town
tonight so it is said, ostensibly for
Springfield. He was recently expelled
from school, and il was intended to
place him in some institution, where he
would have to remain until he was of
age. But is only A. but cut up pranks
enough for one twice his years, and his
example was a bad one for the younger
boys in school.
DIR. Andrew McNeish figured in an
exciting runaway today He was driv-
ing through Cherry Valley towards
Worcester, when bolt broke on his
sleigh. letting the body of the vehicle
down on the horses heels. The animal
ran, and the doctor was thrown out
near Mrs A. M. Browns. The horse
continued, and was finally stopped in
New Worcester. The sleigh is a
wreck, and the animals legs were
badly cut and famed. Fortunately, the
doctor escaped with lame knee and
few other bruises.
