Iey..-That Natick Bridge.
Died Suddenly. Notes

Quite a handsome and stylishly dressed
young lady called at the Winsor hotel
I'm Arctic Centre on Monday evening and
told a pitiful story about herself and
husband meeting with an automobile ac-
cident She appeared to be injured quite
badly and requested the proprietor to get
bottle OF gin. While doing up the pack
age she felt throughout her pockets, APP
parently for her purse. and when the pro-
prietor handed her the package she grab
bed IL and quickly ran through the door
way to the street where she was met by
an accomplice, and together they ran to-
wards Centreville. The proprietor thinks
that the automobile story was a bluff, but
the young lady bluffed him out OF a bot
tie of gin. Previous TO calling at the no.
tel, the same woman stopped at another
saloon on Main street and tried a similar
game there. but the clerk suspecting
something was wrong refused 10 wait
upon her.
THAT NATICK BRIDGE.
The bridge in Natick over which the
patrons Of the Providence Rverpoint line
OF electrics have been obliged 10 walk IN
changing the cars for the past several
weeks seems to cause the town council
little or no concern. The bridge was de-
clared by an engineer of the railroad as
unsafe for the cars To pass over, and
since that time the patrons OF the cars
have been obliged TO change cars at this
point. The bridge is apparently ssfe for
general purposes and IL seems that the
council feels that IL the railroad wants
the use OF the bridge they might have IL
put I'm condition themselves. But the trav-
cling public are the ones who are incon-
venienced by the present condition and
they ought to receive some consideration.
