Robbed While Drunk.

Mondays Barre Times has the follow
ing concerning an experience in that city
of former Chelseaite, who worked for a
time in the Chelsea Livery stable, but has
not been here for several months
s'After cumming around Saturday aft
ernoon with a friend and three other
men, who were strangers to him, Levi l..
Pierce of Chelsea woke up around ten
o'clock Saturday evening and found HIM
self alone in a blacksmith shop on Gran
tie street, stripped of his pocketbook con-
tanning about $40, his watch and a mile
age book. Pierce reported his loss to the
police yesterday and though the men who
were with him are known to the police,
no arrests have been made, as there seems
to be no proof that these men were the
ones who robbed him.
ssPierce states that he had had few
drinks during the afternoon, and he
thinks the stuff must have been nothing
more or less than "poison," as he said
two drinks of it knocked him out com
pletely.
ellis friends then stored him away in
the blacksmith shop on the bank OF the
river. When he woke up few hours la
ter, he found that someone had gone
through his pockets and taken his mon
ey. watch and mileage; total loss estimat-
ed at about $50. Whether the ones who
put him in the shop robbed him or some
one else, who saw him being put away in
there, did the picking, is the question
that is now bothering the police.
notwithstanding his loss, Pierce is
considering himself lucky that he is alive
to tell the story, as the shop in which he
was sleeping came very near being car
ried away by the high water from the
river
