the controller, the motorman and
Schmitt being entangIed In a grand
rough-and-tumble fight in the vesti-
bule,. while passengers screamed and

reau. in citizens clothes, had mean
While interfered In behalf OF the mo-
| torman. The crowd battled Tetreau,
and also showed fight when the flyer
crew arrived. They We're all with
Schmitt.
In court, Schmitt explained that he
offered a transfer from the Baker
| line, and was put of the car, the con-
! ductor saying the transfer was mo
good" He boarded the car through
the front vestibule. while the door
was open, and the motorman tried TO

him, saying that the conductor struck
at him; he clinched, and other pas.
sengers beat the conductor up"
Garman explained that on Wednes
day he had dropped quarter in the
cash box by mistake. and was given
a "due-bill'' by the conductor; with
the information that the due-bill was
good for fares and change.
On the bottom Of the due bill Is
| printed, Unfold before depositing In

right in his contention, and that the
bill was good for fare II handed to
! another conductor.
| The conductor on the Jefferson car
refused to take the duebill, fight re-
suited, and Garman's arrest followed.
| The conductor admitted to Justice
| Jeffries that he did not know any
thing about Me due-bill.
| Bring somebody down here from
No. IL Woodward-ave.. saturday, that
knows how TO run your cars" said
Justice Jeffries, continuing the case
to that day.

NABBED AS EMBEZZLER
AFTER 2 YEARS SEARCH

NEW YORK. Aug, 22.-Requisition
papers today were sought to take
back to Kansas, John A. Flack, alb
sconding bank cashier, probate Judge
and society leader of Abilene. Kan
sas., trapped here by surety company
men two years after he departed
from Abilene. leaving q shortage OF
about $4,000. His wife who has been
his constant companion, declared she
would go back to Kansas with her
husband.
When the banker in September,
1910, asked his wife to accompany him
to New York, she consented, though
she did not know the reason. A bit
later she went back to Abilene on q
visit and there learned OF her hus'
bands shortage. He had sent her
back, so he told her, TO see II she
could give the bank officials any aid
after the death OF the president OF
the institution.
But the knowledge that her hus-
band was a defaulter did not turn
the wife against him. She returned
to New York and remained by his
side until he, last night, was locked
up at police headquarters.
Flack, who readily admitted his
identity, denied that he took more
than $4,000 and said that he lost I,
all in real estate. After the money
was gone, he said, he worked al any
thing he could get and his wife help
ed him make living. When arrest
ed he was penniless and hunting
work. A decoy advertisement asking
applicants to call at a certain street
corner at a given time brought Flach
to he spot and the surety men were
there

A HANDY HELPER.

When you want to rime ''ever" with
river"
Why, dialects right at your hand.
With scarcely CULVER you write It as
''iver."
CThat's ''Irisher talk" understand.)
II you want to chime "splashing" and
fashion"
It's easy as ever can be,
For ''splashing,' and fashion" and "crash-
ing and passion"
VIII rime IL you cut out the ''g."
Ef you want to rime pillow" with mill
err
It's really dead easy to do
Convert 1t to "piller" and willow to will
ler"
And there are your verses for you.
You can always chime yellow with ''tell-
err"
Or ''can" very nicely with "spin,"
Or "ought to" with water" and "slaugh-
ter" and daughter"
For that's where the patois comes In.
SO dialects lovely for poets.
1t let's them use many near rimes,
Like "narrer' for narrow and "sparrer''
for sparrow
And such orthographical crimes.
Yes, dialects handy for rimesters
Wherever they wander or roam.
II speech were correct many rimes would
be wrecked

Twin State League Baseball.

Brattleboro fans are beginning to
talk over plans for the 1912 season
of the Twin State baseball league,
and the matter of salary limit is one
of the interesting subjects up for
discussion
The question of having the
Springfeld-C Charlestown association
in the league another summer must
be settled very soon. The Hyphens
found it hard shedding in 1911 and
only liberal contributions from the
three other clubs made it possible
for them to go through the season.
Brattleboro would like to have
Greenfield take the Hyphen's place
and it is considered that a league
comprised of Keene, Bellows Falls,
Greenfield and Brattleboro would be
well-balanced four-team organi-
zation.
