Game Warden Chapman went out to

number of parties fishing through the

Walter Evans, an lS.year old youth
| living with his parents few miles
| from Andover, came TO town yesterday
afternoon on the cannonball aud his
queer actions at once attracted the
attention of the police. He was far
from sane and inquired of everyone he
saw the way to get TO Washington
where his mother was residing adding
that he must get off the train at the
first depot in that state VIII ere his
mother would find him. To go to
| Washington was his one mania. Chief
of Police Zirbes took charge of the boy
and telephoned his parents at Andover
who ordered him sent home on the
evening train. The chief purchased
| his ticket for him last evening and to
get him on the train had to tell him
that he was going to Washington. The
boy had more than $50 ON his person =

| Mr.. Basford, of Redfleld, spoke from
the Crawford standpoint at the opera
house in this city last evening. The
audience was very small in spite of the
tact that every effort was made to get
out crowd and the meeting was
thoroughly advertised There were
twenty-eight adults present and few
boys The little bunch of insurgents
spatted their hands at the slightest
provocation, oftentimes embarrassing
the speaker because of applause at the
wrong time. They made an awful
mistake at one time by applauding the
mention of President Roosevelt which
was so unexpected that it nearly put
| the speaker out of business. Mr..
Bently followed Mr.. Basford and was
great disappointment even to the
enthusiastic ants of the audiance.
The machine could well afford to
pay the expenses of the two gentlemen
should they desire to come again.
