Another one of those stories that
| always bring forth sympathy from the
| listener has just come to light in the
| town. One night recently a couple
| an appearance at the Globe Cafe
where they registered. The owner Of

| Charles T. Elton" and the man who
| said his name was "A. y. LeaQWlIH,
| but who is also known as A. j..
| Smith. told him a tale of woe about
| not having any money or place to
/ rest during the night, Mr.. Elton,
| who is the assistant baggage master
at the station, has a kind heart and
| offered bed and lodging for the night.
! Some time early the next morning,
no one knows when, the two departed
but not before Mr.. Elton's pOcketboOk
| containing S11 and his railroad pass
book had been taken. The couple
took a train for Hartford. They had
failed to consider the conductor on the
train, who knows Mr.. Elton we'll, and
he took the pass-book. Not knowing
ductor accepted the fares for the two

station. Railroad detectives have
! been working on the case for several
days and a warrant is out for the ar
rest of Mr.. Leadwith and it is possible
that he will appear in the town court
