IN TERROR.
Fitchburg Wrought Up by
An Insulter of Women.

Fitchburg, March t5.-For some time
past the police of the city have re-
ceived complaints that women were be-
ing annoyed all over the city by a
young man who accosted them and
made various remarks to them The
fellow has not been particular as to
who the person was. Young or old
suffered the same, and his route was
not confined to any one part of the city,
the wealthy class suffering just the
same as those of humber means
Special officers have been detailed in
street dress, but their efforts have
proved unaVailing, for the fellow has
been at his tricks as late as last night.
One person has disguised himself in fe-
male attire, hoping to catch the fellow
in this way but the bait did not take.
Strenuous efforts viii now be made to
land the culprit behind the bars, where
he rightfully belongs.
A special train over the Fitchburg
railroad will take the Y. M. c. A

Is exceedingly fortunate, and will be
proud of their achievement.
