Isabelle Hazard Is years old of As Ben
edict street. Arlington, Cranston. would
have been badly off, had il not been for
the prompt action Of Patrolman sullivan
yesterday afternoon.
Miss Hazard who has been employed
at the Joslin Manufacturing company at
Merino. for about one week had left her
work earlier than usual yesterday ana
like many o.hers took the snort cut IN
4he rear OF Taft and Weeden's mills Tor
Arlington. This passageway is used TO
a considerable extent by persons or all
axes. and IL is we'll known fact that
tdlers congregate here.
A Young man in the watch tower near
by saw the girl coming and he also saw
that she was being followed oy TWO
young men and thinking that they menat
the girl no good sent word to the Chatee
street station. and from there word was
sent 10 Patrolman Sullivan, who Tor
tunately was in the vicinity and he has
tened TO the scene, but one OF the young
men who acted as guard, espled MI.
sullivan and shouted Cheese II ana
his companion was seen by Mr.. Sullivan
to arise from the ground and hasten
away.
The girl was taken to the Chaffee street
police station and capt. Rowe was about
10 send for a physician, but the girl ana
Mr.. Sullivan informed him, that other
than being frightened and her clothing
being disarranged, she was not In the
least injured. which OF course was due
to the prompt action of Patrolman sui
livan.
There are those who think that Mr..
sullivan should have called upon the
young men TO halt. as they were running
away, but as he has known them from
their childhood days he was sure that
sooner or later they would fall into the
hands of the police. He was also aware
OF the fact that the girl had not been
seriously injured and thought 1t best let
them run. The police went to work
upon the case at once, but no traces or
TIE young men could be found.
THERE WAS NO WEDDING.
There was young Polander in the
square yesterday afternoon looking for
legal advice. and he appeared to be In
peck OF trouble To n friend he sad
that he was TO be married TO a pretty
Polish girl last Saturday. but the pastor
OF the Polish church would not marry
them until Monday. giving as his rea-
son that there would be n iollihcation,
Saturday evening. and II would last over
into Sunday and possibly Monday The
bride and Bridegroom consented TO this,
but at the home OF friend on Florence
street. the trends of the contracting
parties gathered on Saturday evening
and had just such a picnic" as II the
wedding ceremony had been performed.
Among the guests was a brother Of the
bride who did not like the looks OF the
bridegroom. and as the girl, who Is about
II years old had been In the country only
about three weeks, took the advice of her
brother and left the house. The brother
took her TO the north end OF the city
where he introduced her 20 a friend OF his
and II appears that she agreed there and
then TO marry her brothers chum.
The chap who was 10 marry her yes
terday heard OF this and that the wedding
day was set for today he hastened e
the city hall and succeeded In stopping
the girl and her newly found lover from
getting a license, ana now. he wants e

ne intimates that something rash will b,
done II he does not marry the girl
