A well known saloon keeper had all OF
the excitement that he wanted at his sa-
loon yon Manton avenue this morning,
for an italian walked into the saloon and
demanded a box OF cigars that he had
promised the Italian two years ago.
The saloon has changed hands many
times since then. and of course the pres
ent proprietor knew nothing OF the deal.
The Italian was out to kill II he did not
get the cigars. but he was finally given
10 understand that the present proprietor
had not been in possession but few
weeks.
When the italian had been got out OF
the saloon II was learned that two years
ago he got into n row In this same sa-
loon and assaulted man and then left
the city, but he was arrested while on his
way TO Worcester and there he was sent
10 an insane asylum and was discharged
a few days ago.
1t IL claimed by An old timer that the
proprietor OF the place at that time prom
ised him box OF cigars In return for
some favor and that was the cause OF
the row.
That the man Is insane there can be no
doubt for he told the present proprietor
that II he found the man who promised
him the cigars that he would shoot him
and then go back 10 Italy
To say that the present proprietor felt
unsavory during the short stay OF the
Italian, is putting II mildly
