Shabby Tramp Disturbed CamsI-SIreet
Residents.
The residents of Canal street were much
disturbed last Friday afternoon by tramp
who persisted in doing what they did not
want him to do. He insisted upon hav-
ing something to eat and he insisted upon
sitting down upon the steps to eat it. He
was shabbily dressed, and he kept walk
ing back and forth past certain houses, all
the while casting unwelcOme glances to-
ward them. Chief-Of-Police Hall was fin
ally sent for, and Mr.. Hall told the tramp
to take himself out of town at once. The
tramp said he wanted TO 60 to Dummer-
ston, and the officer pointed out to him
the way, telling him never to show him
self in town again. That night Mr.. Hall
saw the tramp near the Main-street bridge,
but he had made an attempt to disguise
himself by putting on better appearing
suit of clothes. Mr.. Hall thought the SAT-
est way TO do was to put the tramp in the
lookup, which he did. On Saturday morn
ing Mr.. Hall gave him some wholesome
advice and intimated to him that his next
appearance in BTattleboro would be follow
ed by arrest and the imposition of a fine.

scription which he had received that day
from Bennington about a horse which it
was alleged had been stolen there, and by

that the horse and man were the ones
wanted He learned also that one of the
women was the wife of the owner of the
horse. Mr.. Hall kept the parties under
surveillance until the arrival of Deputy
Sheriff Godfrey yesterday afternoon, dur
ing which time they spent several hours
in Crowelps park and then started up the
Putney road. Immediately upon the ar
rival of Mr.. Godfrey the officers started in
pursuit and met Williams coming toward
Brattleboro. Mr.. Godfrey took Williams
to Wilmington last night, and will go to
Bennington today. Williams claimed that
he only hired the horse. The women tried
TO dissuade the officers from arresting Will
liams, saying that they had decided to Ie-
turn to Bennington and settle the case.
