Of course the north erd of the city did not get by the presidential election without the backing of opinions as to the outcome.
 Alderman -ai large Joe Lapslme is not in the habit of making wagers. He is an ardent democrat however and after he had done considerable talking he felt that he had to sdig down and put up. An ex,Judge had the Hughes end. Now Joe has received check and he says he will not cash it. He doesn't need the money and thinks the check will look good in frame. He also thinks that if he holds 1t out il will give his friend trouble in keeping his cash account balanced.-The check is for two cents.
 Joe DaigIe was not 50 fortunate. He got on the wrong side. After he had stood out in front of his place of busi- ness and held stick of red fire as the republican marehefs went by and later read the returns, Wednesday morning, he ,sntici pated a ride in borrowed wheeibsrrow. Joe was not in it when the ride was taken. simon Berthiaume did the riding while Joe did the push ing.

 A prominent republican-very pro. minent In fact, whose place of business is not far from the bank, saw,the red fire and lifted 1t. He, the republican, knew the night air would be blue if the red fire was not returned so, not to cause the mans wife to think her husband had need of physician s care when he returned home with something more than his hat on his mind he called up the wife and told her what he had done and assured her that the sticks with which to decorate the front lawn would be returned in time.

PETER INFER
 MURDERED
Brother of Edmund Myer Kid Magee
 Killed in Montreal
Brothers. Both in Good Health, Died
 Nineteen Days Apart

Word has been received m Putnam of the murder of Peter Nyef, 8l, fofm- erly of Putnam, brother Of Edmund MyeF, well known IS Kid Masee, the wrestler, who died October 2I at the Day Kimhall hospital from injuries received in an automobile accident.
 Myer was employed at the Norton Electric Cempanyis plant,in Montreal. Friday night, November 3d, he quit work at ten o'clock and started for his home He had gone but 8 short ways and was at the junction of Notre' Dame and Guy streets when man stepped up and struck him blow lover the head.
 People on the street, including three women, ran,to his assistance. They found him unconscious with blood flowing from his mouth, nose and ears. He was taken to hosyital. After an examination by the doctors they ad- vised that priest be sentsfor and his mother in Nalick, R. l., notified.
 Myer regained consciousness but remembered but little of the affair. All he could remember was that he saw one armed man. He said he knew of no reason why any one should make such an assault upon him for as far as he knew he had no enemies. He lived until the following Thursday.
 It is believed that Myer was struck with a blackjack. Whether he was mistaken for some one else or whether robbery was the motive is not known. A man with one arm has been arrested charged with the murder.
 Myer lived in Putnam up to eight years ago. He married Miss Malvina Osier of this city, who, with five chil- dren, a mother in Natick, R. l., and brother Wilfred of Putnam, survive.
 Funeral services were held in Mon. trea last Monday. Mrs. Myer is pros trated at her home. Within nineteen days she has had two sons, both in the best of health, taken from her.
