A BUNCO GAME.
One WaterviI|e Man Relieved
of $50 of His Cash.
Came to Senses in Time to Save
$500 in the Bank,
Strange Doings on Visit of Circus, Fri
day, to Waterville.

Waterville, Me-, June 2S.-(SpeciaD
There were evidently some pretty
smooth strangers in town, Friday, and
it seems that one man just missed los
ing $500 to them, while he did see the
last OF $50 According to the story he
told Deputy Sheriff Getchell, he met 81
the impression that he had formerly
lived here and was back on visit. lie
seemed to know the Waterville man,
who by the way does not live in the
city proper but a little way outside,
and made himself very agreeable. The
native had his team and took the
stranger in to carry him to the circus,
as he was going in that direction.
When they arrived at the field the
stranger invited him to attend the show
with him and the native consented
They We're soon met by other strangers
who knew the first and the party had
q very pleasant time taking in the sights
about the field. They invited the native
to visit a tent with them and while there
unfolded an elaborate and wonderful
advertising scheme. 1t was a dead sure
winner and all of that, but they lacked
just a few hundred dollars of enough
| to float it. The strangers pulled out
their rolls to see how much they could
muster, and the native not to be out
done, pulled his, showing something
| like $50. The strangers allowed that
| it would do for starter, and one OF
them pocketed the cash.
Another chapter in the story comes
| from another source. 1t seems that dur
| ing the day patron of one of the banks
who has about 500 on deposit called
to draw it out, but did not have his
bank book with him. He appeared
somewhat excited, so that the sus-
picions of the cashier We're aroused.
lie attempted with all courtesy to find
out what the man wanted to do with
his money, fearing that perhaps he
might have been rOped into some sort
of n game, but the man would give no
information, declaring that it was n
private matter. The cashier stopped
his questioning Immediately, but re-
fused to let him have the money with
out the book. and the man went away
evidently much disappointed.
This was the same one who had re-
ported his case to Deputy Sheriff
Gctchell after he had taken time to
think it over and see what was really
in the air. He was apparently well
pleased then that he had not secured
his deposit in the bank and very sorry
that he had allowed $50 to slip from
him in the way it did.
From what can be learned it seems
like n clear case of bunco that was
evidently only frustrated by the care
fulness of Il bank cashier. AS it was,
the man bought some pretty rough ex-
perience.
Deputy Sheriff Getchcll, in the even
ing, stopped the game that was being
played in one of the side tents, as he
considered it altogether too much of a
gamble for the natives.

TWO HUNDRED PASSENGERS
Have Thrilling Experience on Derai!ed
Car at Fall River.

Fall River, Mass, June 28--One Of
the cars of an electric train on the
Worcester division of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad run
ming between this city ana Providence,
and containing 200 passengers. jumped
the track, tonight, on the trestle bridge
which spans President avenue and ran
20 feet over ties before it stopped. One
employee had his foot crushed, but be-
yOnd this no one was injured.
The train left Providence, on time
and was due in this city. at $40 P. M.
All the cars were heavily loaded. At
President avenue, the Providence track
| turns from Il curve to a straight line and
crosses a trestle bridge, that runs par
allcl with the tracks of the Taunton
division from Boston to Newport. When
abut &c feet north of the bridge, spread
ing rails caused the third car of the
| train to leave the track and bump
along over the ties on to the bridge.
When it reached the centre of the
bridge, the forward trucks broke away
from the body of the car and hung sus-
pended over the street. The corner Of
the car caught on the ties and was kept
| from falling.
Inc accldcnt happened so suddenly
that the passengers had no time to
jump, and all alighted in safety when
the car stopped.
The couplings between the second
and third cars broke and the motor car
! and the second car kept the rails. run
ming a considerable distance before
they were brought to a standstill. The
Providence division track was blocked
several hours until the arrival of a
WrecFing train.
Had the train run to the right instead
of to the left, it would have plunged
over tho side of the bridge and dropped
20 feet into the street.
