BIG ROUND UP
Seve1 Alleged Pocket Peddlers in
JaiI-FOrger Gets Two Years
Sentence at Windsor.

Sheriff Worthen and his deputies
had busy day yesterday and when
they stopped to breathe a little
they had seven men in jail, charged
with pocket peddling, and they did
not seem satisfied with that. The
men arrested are George Manosh,
George Jameson, Nate Jones, Tim
Cullion, Russell Mclean, William
Dunn and George Gown. AS soon
as the arresting is completed there
will be some hearings in progress.
County court has had very little
business so far, there not having
been a jury trial to date. Several
divorce cases have been heard and
some criminal business was disposed
of yesterday. There will be but
little more if the general contln-
uance of cases made in the criminal
cases yesterday is any indication.
The most important case before
the court was that of George Elliott,
alias Paul Drown, who pleaded
guilty to the charge of securing
money under false pretenses. He
is the man who skipped his board
bill and other bills in town, after
passing a worthless check on Mr..
Sheldon. G. c. Frye made a plea
for him and was followed by the
Rev. Paul D. Moody, States At
torney Dutton made a statement of
the case as he understood it and
the court sentenced him to serve
not less than two nor more than
three years in Windsor.
Charles Croci of Hardwick plead
ed guilty and was fined $500 and
costs for selling liquor. Alva Smith
from the same town was sentenced
to serve three months in jail for
selling.
