The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1905-04-06

Last Saturday morning a young man
came 10 this place from Lawrence with
the honest intention Of going 10 work In
one OF the mills. The first thing that
ne did was to find boarding house and
after being shown his room and placing
his grip and few belongings in a
clothes press started TO see the town.
The young man did not leave his name
with the lady with whom he was TO
board nor did he ask her name. and In
fact did not even ask the name OF the
street or number Just how much Of the
town he saw is not known, but II Is a
positive fact that he got good look at
the interior OF the police court down
town Sunday morning, for he was ined
the usual 81 and costs for being drunk.
He happened TO have n sufficient
amount OF money 10 pay his fine. but
when he got his liberty did not know
which way 10 turn. for he did not even
know the name OF the mill that he had
intended 10 go 10 work In.
Yesterday afternoon he landed in the
square and in one OF the local restaurants
told the above story. and being well
dressed and OF very pleasing disposi-
sion soon found some one 10 assist him
in finding his boarding house.
Then he was happy. but when he came
tN~l look into the clothes press and found
that two coats were missing he was
sad again He frightened up when he
thought OF the s35 he had left In the
pocket OF an old pair OF trousers. and
when he found this he took the young
fellow that had assisted him In finding
his boarding house out and gave him a
good dinner, n drink and cigar When
leaving the restaurant he said that he
was going 10 settle down and quit drink
ing, and bis appearance would indicate
that he would keep hts word His room
had been entered and the coats were
taken. and this fact has been reported
10 the police.
TIME WILL TELL
For some time there has been a diff
ference Of opinion between Paddy" Smith
and "Bln" Callahan of this place as to
who was the best man. These two
WORTHLESS met on the square and In the
presence Of number OF witnesses agreed
TO settle the matter at no distant day.
II was decided that the affair should
be pulled off In the wilds OF Scituate on
the first fair day. and each OF the con-
testants says that the other will come
back in an ambulance.
Smith says boldly that he will break
every bone In Callahan's body and Cal
lahan says that Smith won't "spot him
not Just once"
Bets are being made. Callahan being
the favorte.
