Clinton, July 5.-Chief oren B
Bates and Medical Examiner George
+. Tobey gave sautelle's circus a clean
bill of health this, morning. The per-
formances were given this afternoon
and evening to the satisfaction OF
Everybody. X.
Chief Of Police Bates is of the opin-
ion that Sig. Sautelle has been done
an injustice, by the story of the man in
the Tewksbury almshouse.
There is no doubt but that the man
is suffering with varioloid, but there
Is every reason to believe that he was
never connected with the circus.
Mr.. Sautelle received the authorities
willingly. and did all he could to assist
them in their investigation. He opened
the books of the show to them. The
books did not contain the name of The
person at the almshouse.
The medical examiner made thor
ough inspection of the men with the
circus. He found nothing except evil
dence that the performers and the
other employees of the circus were en-
joying the best of health. He was
especially pleased with the fine con-
Gition of the horses and other animals.
Mr.. Sautelle says that the story that
the man who suffers with varioloid
was connected with his show, came
from the man himself, who, when he
was asked where he belonged, said: II
helped post those" pointing to soTne
of the circus advertising. The man may
have been employed by one of the adj
vance agents of the show to assist in
the bill posting, Mr.. Sautelle says, but
he has never been in the neighborhood
of the show, and his name has never
been carried on its pay rolls.
The afternoon performance was well
attended. There was crowd in TIE
evening. Everybody who attended was
satisfied with the performance.
The committee on police station re-
pairs met this morning in the court
house to see what can be done with the
discovery that the station house eX-
tends eight inches onto land belonging
to Walter r. Dame and John w. Nc
Namara.
Mr. Dame was present. The commit
tee held short session and adjourned
until tomorrow. No arrangement with
the gentlemen who own the property
was reached. They were of the opinion
that if their land was to be used the
town should continue the wall further
toward the sidewalk. This would make
it. necessary to tear down the cobbler' s
shop, which is a frame structure be-
side the police station, and rebuild it.
The committee was not willing to as
sent to this proposition. There will be
a second meeting of the. committee to-
morrow. The members will Wrestle
with the problem again.
The committee, to use the language
of. one of it's members, docs not know
where it is at" The plans for the sta
ton are far from satisfactory. The
committee wants to change them. The
arrangement for the staircase is not
convenient But if the plans are
changed the contractor receives an ad-
vantage which may lead to unlocked
for expense:
1t will be necessary for the committee
to get along. with the money in its pos
session. A resort to town meeting
for more money would be disastrous to
the plans the committee has devised.
A member of the Business Mems as
ISOLATION said today: 1.-THE $4,000 used to
repair this building will be money vast
ed. The result will remain, even if it
should be satisfactory in other respects,
an insult to eye and taste. The build
ing will not be what a public building
in this town should be-"
This Is substantially the opinion en-
tertained by Warren Goodale president
of the Clinton Business Mems associa-
ton, as he expressed himself to rep
resentative of The Spy recently.
1t Is understood that petitions are
likely to be circulated asking that the
selectmep call town meeting to deal
with the affair before the town is ir-
retrievably committed to. mistake.
There were few voters at the meeting
in which the repairs were sanctioned.
The feeling against the repairs has
strengthened enormously since the work
was begun, and people passing the old
structure could see what an arehitec-
tural senormity the little square jog is
that is being tackled on to one end of
the station.
On the night of July some one en-
tered the stable of Martin Dolphin, who
lives opposite the state. school in Lam
caster and. stole his mare Chief Bates
and Deputy Sheriff Bartlett are trying
to recover the animal and catch the
thief. Chief Bates has sent cut de.
scpiption of the animal. 1t Is a bright
bay mare, with long white blaze on
the face. The foretop is clipped about
two inches, and the clipping was done
two weeks ago. The off hind leg is
white half way to the knee; the same
leg has scar on the inside, where ii
was cut with barbed wire On the
near side there are marks of a shoe gall;
weight 1100y and age years. Mr.. Dol
phin stabbed the horse as usual in this
evening before it was stolen. The THE.
took neither harness nor a vehicle
which were handy. No theft of harness
orvehicles in the neighborhood has beer
reported
Early this morning news was brought
to Clinton that the horse had beer
found near Still river in Lancaster
1t had evidently got ont of the stable
and had wandered about for As hours
before being found
officer WalterBurke brought in Mich
ael Kittredge this afternoon, after 4
struggle. Kittredge was arrested on
Burdet Hill. He is suspected Of being
instrumental in removing $12 and pain
OF shoes from an unknown man, who
drank too much and fell asleep under a
tree on Burdet Hill, Kittredge was OBJ
served rushing beer into the grove
where the drunken man lay. There
was another fellow with him. When
the drunkard awoke he reported the abb
sence of his property to the officer
While the officer was arresting Kilt
redge the complainant disappeared The
police know where to find him, how
ever.
Kittredge was searched at the police
station. Nothing to incriminate him
was found upon his person. He is held
on the charge of being drunk, and the
