OBJECTED TO
''GOAT HILL
Residents Descended Upon
Saloon En- Masse and
Sign Came Down.
SALOON MAN OFFENDs

The neighborhood Of Hartford
street and Buckingham avenue was
at one time called goat hill," but
the residents of that vicinity now
strenuously object to the title.
Yesterday, Charles Baumlein, who
has a saloon at Hartford street and
buckingham avenue, painted the fol-
lowing on one of the windows: Goat
Hill Cafe, Charles Baumlein, Pro-
prietor" AS soon as the residents
nearby learned of the fact they went
to Mr.. Baumlein and protested
against the words goat hill" The
proprietor refused to remove 1t and
last night, large crowd, compos-
ed of men, women and children,
marched to the saloon and demand
ed that the name be taken from the
window. Again Mr.. Baumlein re-
fused, but the crowd became so
noisy and abused him so much that,
in desperation, the proprietor finally
got some gasoline and erased the
words.
AS soon as the obnoxious name
had disappeared the crowd gave
three cheers and returned.

ance Company building, and the
agent is Russell E. Watson.
Mr.. Booraem said he did not care
to discuss the matter, and is was
entirely his clients business, and he
would leave the public to surmise
whether or not he was likely to be
going into the boating business in
addition to his other duties.
While the company is only incor-
porated for $1,000. divided into 100
shares of $40 each, is is just possi-

charter, use, operate and navigate
hOafc harOpa and vessels of all
