SLEEPING UNDER SNOW. Wauregan Man Thawed Out and Sent
 to Jail.

Israel Benoit of Wauregan, who was found sleeping under an immaculate blanket of snow Sunday morning near Tyler's store on Mechanic street, got a sentence of twenty days in jail and cost assessment of $9.09 when he was presented before Judge Fuller in the city court Monday morning An April blizzard did not perceptibly per turb BenoitS slumbers, for when the officer came to get him his form was no more than 9 bulge in the unbroken covering of snow. He was a trifle frappe, however, and it was necessary to bring him to the station in team, which service added a dollar to the costs of the case.
