Bad Man Visited the
Town Of Worthington

Rumors were rife late yesterday aft
ernoon that foreigner had attacked
the burgess of Worthington with re-
volver and also that the official was
cut with knife in the encounter. AS
q matter OF fact the burgess was un-
harmed as he did not meet the unruly
customer. but there was bad man in
the town at that
1t appears that the Italian alighted
from the B. & o. train yesterday morn.
ing with two suit cases filled with
! whiskey, which 1t is claimed he placed
in shed near the station. Later when
he returned to the shanty one Of the
suit cases was missing. 1t was no.
ticed at that time that the driver OF
Abram Friedman's team acted rather
strange, 1t is reported, and the owner
got on the wagon with him. After
they had passed certain point the en-
ragged foreigner Is claimed to have
drawn revolver upon the driver de-
randing his whiskey and adding that
If it was not returned he would kill
him. Friedman, 1t Is claimed. told the
foreigner to withdraw his gun and
sent the driver back to the town to
presumably get 1t, but in reality to no.
tify the constable at Worthington.
The driver claims that he saw the
constable who is alleged to have said,
in substance, that he would not "go
around him because he had a gum" but
that he would go and search for the
whiskey.
In the meantime some one notified
the sheriff's office and two deputies
we're dispatched, but when they ar.
rived the foreigner had made good his
escape. The sherift's officers are rath.
er sore over the occurrence, claiming
that the officer at Worthington should
lave kept line on the dangerous
stranger until they had an opportunity
to arrive on the spot.
