Detective Thomas Cclesanto went to Bridgeport to-day to bring back Edward Hansen who was arrested there and who is wanted here for working the "lemon" game. Han sen and pal entered local pool room one day recently and started an argument about their ability to manipulate the cue. Of course they pretended to be strangers and in . short time attracted the attention of others In the billiard parlor. Befor the afternoon had passed Hansen's friend had succeeded in convincing one of the men in the pool room that he could easily defeat Hansen, but he could not play him as he was broke" But the Waterbury man fell for 1t like two year old. H. let the stranger have twenty bills and the game began. The men played on the one ball and of course Hansen got the money. The fellow who had borrowed the twenty failed to show up that evening to pay iy back as promised, he left the city with Hansen. No wonder the people or at least some of them In this to
 are called "wheats."

SAND WASHED DOWN
New Sidewalk d Library Park
 Covered Up lhIs MerpIug.

The rainstorm of last night and this morning was q Godsend to Su- perintendent Kennedy of the water department, but 1t had different meaning for Superintendent Kilduff of the street department, although, no doubt, he was pleased to see 1t. The first call he had this morning was to Meadow street, opposite Li- brary park. where a quantity of sand was washed down onto the new side walk. The report was that at least thousand loads of dirt had slipped down, but 1t was not as bad as that. a good man being able to get all there was there out of the way by noon; and then he had chance to go to other places that needed at tention. Across the way, under the new railroad tracks, the water gull lied for short distance, and men were hustling at an early hour filling in the holes. None of the turfed bank on the park was disturbed, the landslide being just at the end of the new concrete wall, where there was no protection for the high sand bank and portion of 1t went down with the rush of water.
