PAWTUxET VALLEY

Mrs. Mary Il. Richmond, who lives with
ed a picture from an agent who was
canvassing the valley one day last week.
A few days later the man brought the
crayon the price OF which was 1.ss. Not
having any change she gave the man
IS bill. She says he said he would go out
to his carriage, which stood outside and
would return with the change. When he
reached the wagon he got in and forgot
to return with the balance. Saturday
morning the Warwick police were notified
as the man was said to be stopping at
Lippitt and in the afternoon he was cap
tured and taken to the L.ppitt lookup.
When questioned he claims to have told
Miss Richmond that he would return with
the change on his next trip to Hope.
A satisfactory settlement was affected
later when the man refunded the balance
OF the IS and after paying costs he was
allowed to go.
