SHELL GAME.
Il was Worked at Hunts Mills
and Led TO Serious Trouble.

I he wonted calm and peace OF the Sab
bath at Hunts Mills was yesterday az
ternoon turned into a scene of disquietude
when East Providence and Massachu-
setts police officers had a lively tussle
with gang Of "shell game" men, so
called.
AS a result of the disturbance James
Wesley OF this city was arrested by OFF,
Ger Samuel Taft and locked up at East
Providence.
1t seems that the shell game was start
ed on the Massachusetts side of the line,
and that I'm the course of the game the
players suspected that they were the
victims of unfairness and, becoming in
volved in a dispute, a hand 10 hand fight
ensued In which a Seekonk man was
knocked down and another hit on the leg
with large stone.
The chief offender, Wesley, who was
arrested. Is said 10 be one of the Cres-
cent Park gang o4 envelope swindlers
who were swept out OF that place last
summer.
Special Officer Harry German of the
East Providence force cleverly got him
self up as farmer late yesterday after
noon and with the accessories OF an old
farm wagon, etc, tried TO capture shell
game swindlers at Riverside.
His disguise. however, was penetrated
by the keen-eyed swindlers. an alarm was
given and the swindlers and their para
phernalia.
The officer arrested on suspicion. how
ever, prepossessing young man who
hardly resembled a criminal
IL has been learned that gang OF New
York and Boston shell game" men en-
plOy sentries or spies who know every
special and regular officer In East Prov
idence and the difficulty OF detection OF
the swindlers becomes therefore some
what difficult matter.

tage at first accommodating ten children

AT the expiration OF two weeks, the ten
children are returned TO their hcmes and
10 others take their places and so on un-
til the end OF the summer.

work are Mrs. Charles A. RUSSELL Miss
Clara Smith and Mrs. S. n. Aull. togeth-
er with the leader or state secretary of
the Kings Daughters of Rhode Island
Mrs. George III. Carey
The money 10 carry on the work was
raised through the instrumentality OF
Miss Todd in the following manner;
A circular letter was framed by her set
ting forth the work and what IL was pro-
posed 10 do and how. Copies OF this let
ter. soliciting financial support. were sent
10 all OF the So Kings Daughters cir
cles I'm the state.
All save 20 responded with money, and
thus nearly s400 was raised.
Aside from this. the bed linen, table
linen. etc, was contributed 10 the cottage
by the circles and kitchen utensils, cook
cry etc, were generously given by the
large department stores OF this city.
The children OF the home are received
from deserving families, OF unquestioned
respectability.
They are often the children OF poor
widows, or come from homes where dire
smisfortune has dwelt.
Each circle of Kings Daughters I'm the
state is privileged to send one child. yet
the city circles are. naturally, the ones
who make use OF the privilege.
Thus-faF the work has been extremely
successful and amply justifies its perma-
nency.
The cottage will remain open until
early In September.
