and who had attracted the attention
Of the employees Of the electric railroad
at the carbarn was taken into custody
today BY Chief Durkee Of the Mont
palier police department. and was lodged
in the county jail in that city. The Grief
feature Of the mans actions which at
tracted attention was his pluelying up
flowers and shrubs BY the roots as he
wandered about in the rear Of the ear
barn. Thinking that the fellow was
intoxicated, the carbarn employees tele-
phoDed to the Montpelier police.
When the police had taken the man
in charge they decided that he wRs not
drunk but was probably insane. The
name which appears on the warrant un-
der which he is held and which charges
him with intoxieation is Lassee, but It
is probable that that Is not his real
name. The man win be held until the
return Of States Attorney Gates from
Boston and II the doctors should decide
upon examination that he is insane be-
will be placed IN the Waterbury asylum.

one arrested in Montpelier, attracted
considerable attention on Main street

vers Of the night-lunch people in serv-
ing the might. hawks" and he stood for
long time gazing at the process as if
revolving some great scheme in his
