| Hon. s. ], Walton had a narrow es.
CAPE from what might have been a Sc
rious accident Saturday. He came
down from his house to his office on the
Afternoon car and got off at the end OF
the run in front of the F. c. Dow cloth
ing store. He started to cross to the
| sidewalk and was just about to step
from the street when he was hit by a
| team. It seems that the horse driven
| by j. H. Murray, the Oil man. had be
come frightened at the car and jumped
| forward. One of the thills hit Mr.. wal
! ton in the ribs. He had a number OF
letters and papers in his coat pocket
and this fact alone prevented nm
from suffering a broken rib. AS it was
he escaped with a bruised side. The
blow, however, was heavy enough to
knock him onto the sidewalk.

| Saturday afternoon Thomas Lee
had shipped to him by one of the ex-
| press companies a box containing eight
pints of whiskey. He took it from the
| office and in an evil moment set 1t
down in a doorway. And right then
was when Thomas made the mistake OF
his life. Had he kept it with him all
might have been well. But the moment
he set it down Deputy Sheriff Gill
blair picked it up and It Is now in the
liquor room at the Jail. While Deputy
Gilblair was securing the necessary
papers to cause the arrest Of Leo that
worthy hiked to parts unknown and is
still at large. Should he return it Is
probable that he will have an unpleas-
ant half hour. 1t is alleged that Leo has
been doing quite a profitable pocket
peddlng business, and in accordance
with Sheriff Moore's belief, the box
seized is one of three which
have been coming in fictitious
names. There are two more
so the sheriff stated to the writer this
morning, which belong to Leo, now lay
ing in the express Office. AS these are
still in transit the sheriff cannot seize
them. The chances are they will be re.
turned to Boston as it is doubtful il
Leo puts in a claim for them.
