SAVOIES IN COURT
Husband and Wife Answer to Charges
OF Having Liquor on Hand.

William Savoie's family and friends had
n fine time Saturday and Sunday at his
home on Walnut street but their neighbors
did not appreciate the entertainment and
finally complained to Sheriff Reeves, one of
them rcmarking that the sidewalk up there
looked like a slaughter house, AS a result
the sheriff visited the premises Monday
morning and arrested Mrs. Savoie. Mr..
Savoic skipped and could not be located at
that time.
Mrs. Savoie was in court and pleaded
guilty to having liquor on hand but sem
tence was suspended for two weeks When
she returned home Savoie thought that all
their trouble was at an end and soon made
his appearance. During the hard shower in
the afternoon the sheriff remarked to
Turnkey Quinn that it would be a good time
to get Savoie as he would be sure to be at
home while it rained. Accordingly they
htChcd up and drove to Walnut street
where they arrested Savoic, much to his
surprise. lie was in city court in the even
ing and pleaded guilty to an offense similar
to that with which his wife was charged.
SavUie returned from Rutland a short time
ago and evidently did not like his sur
rOundlngs there for he remarked to the
court:
Il don't care to go back to Rutland il
We can fix this up here"
The law fixes that" said Judge Haw-
kins. If I do not send you they would
soon have me down there"
SdNoie was sentenced to serve not less
than one nor more than two months in the
House of Correction and to pay fine of
s25 and costs the alternate sentence being
1853 days.

SHOW WHAT YON CAN DO.

beginning September 22d. a genuine old
time Mechanics Fair will be held in Bos-
ton. This will be the first time in four
years that the Fair has been held.
The great popularity of this exhibition is
well known. No charge is made to ex-
hibitors for space. The utmost effort will
be made this year to make the Fair at
tractive. We advise all interested in the
arts. sciences, agriculture etc, to avail
themselves of this opportunity to exhibit
their work or products. Application for
space and further particulars should be adj
dressed to j. c. Hosmer. Manager Me
chanics Building, Boston. Mass.
lnasmuch as the Mechanics Fair is an
old New England institution, would 1t not
be good plan to give it liberal support by
exhibiting at that time any products COM
ing from this section of the State? Such
an effort will surely be of advantage to this
locality as well as to the exhibitors them
selves.

not tell him to get 1t and did not know
