VIM. Lee, while a guest of Landlord
Brown at the Williamstown hotel, left
without paying his board. Lee was after
ward taken to the house Of correction for
stealing an overcoat. At the expiration Of
the sentence, he was arrested on civil
process brought by Mr.. Brown and placed
IN jail at Rutland, where he remained for
some time Finally, thinking he had
been punished enough, Mr.. Brown with
drew the suit but Officer Parish had a
claim for fees and on this Lee was held
until a few days ago when Mr.. Brown
agreed TO indemnify Mr.. Parish. Lee
claims that his last settled residence was
in Randolph. though he has not lived here
for 90 years, and the Rutland iailer has
bill OF about s35 for his board while in
jail that he expects Randolph to pay.
A very large audience greeted the Leo
nora Jackson Concert company last even
ing. Miss Jackson is a very finished and
artistic violin virtuoso, and those who can
appreciate high-grade, classical music
could not fail to be pleased with her rem
dition. II must be admitted, though, that
only few OF us are up to that standard.
All understood that they were IN the pres
ence OF wonderful performer, but COM
mon, if uncultured, feeling was, Il wish
she would play a tune That Miss jack
son did not respond TO eneores, except by
bowling, was a disappointment to the
great majority, who like the simple, catchy
pieces usually rendered in encores. The
tenor soloist was unable to appear, and
good bass was substituted, who responded
to encores. The piano soloist and accom-
PIANIST, Mr.. Bauer, was exceptionally fine.
Last Saturday night, one Of Randolph's
popular clerks, after closing store Tor the
night and repairing to his home, decided
to return to the store for moment to
procure some articles, and so informed
his wife. This was about 10 o'clock. His
wife awaited his return, the more anx-
iously as time sped on and the clock
struck eleven and twelve and finally one
and he did not come. At this weird hour
OF night, thoroughly alarmed, the wife
started out after her husband. She went
to the store and ratified the door, but It
was locked and nobody could be raised.
She then went to summon the proprietor
and get him to unlock it, when, rounding
corner, she met her husband on his way
home. His explanation was that, on ar
irving at the store he bethought him that
he had forgotten to close his usual night
work on the books and stopped moment
to do II. Being very tired, he fell asleep
in a moment at the desk and had just
awakened.
