WANTED NEW SUIT.
Adolphus Bedard Tackles Dummy Three
q, Times and Lands in House of Correction.

Adolphus Bedard was released from
the house of correction four days ago.
Friday he got tired of his citizens
clothes and yearned for the giddier pat
tern of those furnished by the state.
AS he walked down Front street, he
spied a dummy in front of a clothing
store, adorned with raiment that was
decidedly of the kind that can be
heard a mile away.
Bedard liked the suit, but not the
chain which held it to the dummy. He
tackled the dummy at the waist, and
was plunging down the street when
Officer D'Connor spied him. That set
tied it. Bedard was soon captured,
but as The proprietor of the store was
lepient.. he was allowed to- go. Be
dard made two. more attempts to nab
the dummy, and officer O'Gonnor
thought Bedard was having too much
of a ,cinch-, so he waited for the lover
of clothing of bright hues and gaudy
colors, ~ Bedard made oner more dive,
at the dummy; but he tackled Officer
O'Connor Instead. This morning he
was, arraigned in the criminal session
of the, central, district court. Judge
Utley sent him to the state farm for an
indefinite period. -f.,..sf r-.fr r--r
