A PLUCKY WOMAN DOES ONE UP.

Millbury Aug. 1O-The hoodlums
have, for the present at least, trans
ferred their quarters to the west side,
and many people in that vicinity are
being troubled by them Yesterday
was lively day for them, and many
OF them, more o. less intoxicated, could
be seen resting at different places on
the sides Of the streets. Others were in
fighting mood, and strolled along, lord
Of all they surveyed.
One hobo. who had INDUCED in Mill
bury's fire water to mis- fill, strolled up
to the home of Mrs. Joseph Carpenter
on Gould street at The west side and
wanted Mrs Carpenter to let him come
In and rest. This she refused, but the
hobo was determined and tried to enter
by force. He opened the screen door
and was greeted with blow from Mrs
Carpenters fist that Knocked him out
Of the doorway and made him think he
was looking through a telescope He
retreated, but in few moments re-
turned, and then Mrs. Carpenter, thor
oughly exasperated with the mans i'm
pudence, made a rush. and opened the
door so quickly that the man received 1t
in the nose, making the blood rush from
that member with unusual force. After
receiving this blow he left and did not
return.
About 1890 o'clock last evening a
clerk in A. g. Winters store at the
west side saw smoke coming from an
old shed on the Walling property In
company with Flavell Flagg, he made
an examination and found eight hoboes
asleep in the shed after a debauch.
Ih9y soon hustled the tranps out and
found some old straw that was in the
building had caught fire, but was very
damp, and had only smoked Scattered
about the shed were tomato cans pieces
Of bread, bottles and other articles, that
the tramps had been making merry
with few moments after this, as
Edward Roach was coming out of Win.
tiers store tramp stopped him and
told Roach to give him 10 cents or ne
would punch his face. Roach promptly
gave the man a right -hander in the law
that made him hurry away.
Since officer Thomas Brown has been
detailed as regular in the center of the
town the hoodlums have left the center
and gone to the west side, and are now
doing as they please there.
Selectman Booth told The Spy man
that he would appoint special for the
west side if he could get a man to take
the job. Millbury men don't seem to
be after police positions.

the Orioles at Worcester Saturday.
