A week ago a German farmer from
Foster came into the square and called
at one OF the leading stores. He asked
for the proprietor but was told no was
out.
When the proprietor returned the clerk
informed him that he had a caller during
his absence. The clerk also said the man
had been drinking the poorest sort Of
rum, judging from the farmers breath.
Yesterday the farmer came TO town
again and called upon his old friend. the
storekeeper. who limited 10 his caller
that when he called last week he waA
somewhat under tho influence OF liquor.
but the farmer made q denial and when
his breath was referred to he said that
the smell the clerk detected was Linn
berger cheese.
Yesterday the farmer had a small pack
age under his arm and he was asked n
II was Limbcrger cheese and displayed
an ordinary round alarm clock.
This is the story he told about the
alarm clock.
when I left home this morning my
wife told me to be back by o'clock.
and so that I would make no mistake
she set the clock at 1l:3O. so at that
hour / could start for home"
The farmer left the store about Q and
wended his way down street and re-
turned at D. IN. He dropped In to see
his old friend again. who was much sur
prised. for he supposed the visitor had
gone home.
The farmer had no clock and when
asked what he had done with II said
he got along all right until he stopped
at a place near the Hoyle building and
there the gang stole II.
young man and a balky mustang
furnished considerable sport for the
square last evening. The mustang re-
fused TO bulge, even when tempted vita
something TO eat, but would eat when
within reach. The fellow put a blanket
on the animal. went into a restaurant
and got a lunch, and when he returned
the animal still refused TO move num-
bsr or men then turned the animal about
when he went about 80 feet and stopped
again.
Four big men then took hand in the
matter, for the driver was good natured
and patient throughout the Incident.
One of the big men asked him which
way he wanted 10 go and he replied:
ANY old way" and with that the four
began 10 push. and they pushed the
mustang, wagon and driver at the rate of
ten miles an hour through the square
towards Hartford avenue.
when near Plainfield street the mustang
evidently got mad. for he broke into a
run and was going like the wind when
last seen on top OF Hartford avenue hill
young man named Evans while cut
ting meat in the Olneyville Public market
yesterday accidentally cut himself with
big knife. The knife slipped and the
keen point entered the left hand between
the thumb and forehnger. He was taken
to the Office OF DR.. J. r. Farrell, corner
OF Messer and Westminster streets, who
dressed the wound.
Bernard Doyle. who died from Injuries
by falling into a vat at Thornton, was
buried from the residence OF relation
on Gibson court this morning.
1t Is quite probable that the weavers at
the Riverside mills will not come out
for the simple reason that they are all
doing we'll.
They run two looms. but they are not
called upon 10 pay any fines. and this Is
the principal reason why they are sat-
isfied.
They also say that they do not care to
be idle at this time OF the year.
There are some. however. who think
that they may. through sympathy, BIO
induced to come out.
