right leg below the knee. At the time

to a physician who discovered a slight
wound and on probing took from the
shin bone the metal particle.
Some interest was aroused locally
by paragraph which appeared in yes
terday's Boston Journal in regard to
the disappearance of John H Drown

eral people thought the item referred

boro boy. who is now employed in
Hartford by the New York Life In
surauce company. This could not be
the case, however, as Mr. browns sis
ter NJ ISIS Lila Drown, returned from
visit in Hartford only few days
ago, everything being all right when
she left there.
John Doe,' the proprietor of the
Japauese store just below Ellis bar
Der shop, was visited by Chief of Po
lice Hall last evening aud warned that
he must not continue to sell his goods
by auction, having 10 license to do so.
The matter originated from a com
plant lodged with Town Grand Juror
NJ inor by G ellison who claimed that
the Jap was violating the laws by AUG
tioneeriug without license and
should be arrested. 1t seems that Mr.
ellison and the Jap made contract
about the middle of last week accord
ing to the terms of which the former
was to do the auctioneerinR for the
latter, beginning last Thursday. Nj
ellison claims that hs hurried about
his other work in order to accommo-
date his foreign customer but
that he kept procrastinat
ing and finally s,id he did not
need his services, having hired anoth-
err auctioneer. This state of things
made Mr. ellison very wroth and was
the cause of his entering the com
plant.
