TALK OF THE TOWN

Charles Wood OF Claremont, n. H. ar
rived in the city yesterday to visit his
mother, Mrs. Joseph Wood, of the Mont
pelier road.
Mrs. E. d. Taft received news of the
death of her brother, Almon +. Mason
of South Ryegate. Mr.. and Mrs. Taft
went to South Ryegate Thursday, and
the funeral was held to-day.
Alex. Mcdonald of New York arrived
in the city yesterday to pass few days
Mrs. John Mcdonald of Liberty street.
Arthur Mcdonald of Boston is also Wis
iting at the home of his parents. Mr..
and Mrs. John Hall, who have been the
guests at the same house, returned last
night to Boston.
Among the patients of the City hos
pital, who were able to go to their
homes to spend Christmas were Mrs.
Angelo Pochetti of Batchelder street,
Mrs. Nelson Dutton OF South Main
street and Mrs. Fred Bancroft and
baby, who went to the home of Mrs.
Bancroft's sister Mrs. c. III. Barton.
Edward NJ. Bell, who was operated on
last Sunday, is improving so well that
it is expected that he can go home to-
morrow.
Policeman Andy Knutson, one of the
specials drafted into service at police
headquarters for the holiday, received a
hurry call over the telephone Christ
mas afternoon from South Main street.
A distracted contingent OF household
ers met the officer half way up the
street and begged him to arrest va
grant canine that had made life thing
of woe to the neighborhood for two
nights. Policeman Knutson took the
dog in custody and led him to the sta
ton. There a dilemma developed, for
search as they would, the officers could
find no statutory provisions for prose-
cutting noisy dog. A sleepless neigh
borhood had registered very vigorous
objection to the animals incessant
caroling on Christmas eve and here
was the trangressor in custody at last.
Finding no solution for the problem, the
officers finally turned the dog loose, a
free lance, with reluctant permission to
sing as much as he pleases. Hereafter
people offended by too much dog music
are directed TO the first constable by the
order of the police.
The hearing in the case of State vs..
Irvine A. Norcross of Hardwick, charged
with obtaining goods by false pretenses,
Is to be resumed before Judge II. w.
Scott in city court this afternoon.
States Attorney j. Ward Carver, who
returned this morning from New York,
took up the prosecution at the point
where the proceedings were halted when
court adjourned last Monday. In the
absence OF the states attorney, the state
was represented by S. Hollister jackson.
The hearing was TO have been resumed
this forenoon, but owing to the heavy
snow, it was said, the respondent, Nor
cross, was unable to reach the city. He
is out under bail of 81 600 and returned
to Hardwick after adjournment Monday.
The case involves the charge of false Sc
curity representations in an automobile
transaction between Norcross and ID. i.
Cutler. A number of Hardwick wit
nesses were at the court room this fore
noon waiting to testify. They came by
team from Hardwick and reported con-
siderable difficulty in getting through.
