leave these pleasant scenes Monday. when
they were approached at the railroad sta
tion by Louis Bova, Mine Host of the
Italian shack, with an unpaid board bill
amounting to about $40. A torrent of
liquid syllables gushed from both sides
during controversy in which the debt
ors offered to settle by an order on Con-
tractor w. S. Teachout, and the creditor
persisted in his demand for spot cash.
Finally Bova had a body writ made out,
and the quartet Immediately found mon
ey enough to pay their bills. Then they
proceeded to worry Mr.. Bova by charging
him with furnishing beer to his boarders
all summer, with only a government Ii
cense to show, ana the troubled landlord,
s2tting his face toward the north. struck
a rapid gait for Braintree. Officers were
telegraphed along the route to arrest him
and Chief of Police F. II. Ketchum trav-
eled up the line on the afternoon train in
the hope that the fugitive might board
the train at some one of the stations
above here. The willy Italian, however.
had simply melted out of sight and re-
manned invisible to all pursuers.
