With ears fur-lapped and warm !
tippet of the same material wrapped
about his person, the historic ground hog
made his annual appearance to-day. The +
sun was bright enough for the famous |
prophet to see his shadow, but the cold |
est weather OF the winter obtained and /
II he elects to stay above ground to greet /
The late spring which the suns brillian-
" forecasts, he will exhibit greater for
.itude than the majority of his wood
,huck brothers. A singing nor'west l
wind beat down from Cancels Hump to-
lay and with zero conditions prevailing
md the mercury exhibiting marked ten
lencies toward recession. there was very II
little of spring in the air. At dawn to-
lay thermometers registered sub-zero
eadings of 10 and the predictions at
loon were all for colder weather.
Youthful sun dodgers extending their
kylarking to darkest Depot square made
more work for the police to-day and as
he result of depredations in the house
,etween the tracks, James Gibson was /,
ocked up by Deputy Chief Harry Gam
lie. 1t is alleged that the young men,
I've in number, were attempting to make
heir ways into the apartments over the
oal Office when the deputy chief came
long. One window had yielded to pres
ure and scattered fragments of glass in
icate that the dodgers had been over
nxious in their haste. Deputy Chief
iamble gave chase and was rewarded
shen Gibson slowed down before his
eet-footed pursuer. Before Magistrate
I. w. Scott in city court this forenoon
Iibson pleaded guilty to the breach of !
eaee offense set up in a complaint made (
D Grand Juror William Wishart. The /,
idge imposed fine of IS and costs ag-
regating $500, which the respondent ex-
ects to pay. Other sun dodgers are CIV
Y the police wide berth.
Down from the City hospital came g
merry b. Fellows to-day to tell Magis-
ate II. w. Scott just what happened in \
ne matter of the booze burglaries on
ranite street last week Fellows has I
cen recovering from the effects OF a e
humping which he received when he re-
sted his csptors last Friday night and =
esterday the doctors attending him gave
as their opinion that he was fit to be
court. Fellows pleaded guilty to Z
stit larceny charge and when the judge V
nposed a sentence of six months in the n
Duse of correction at Rutland, with a :
inimum of four months, the respondent 4
ceived the news without batting an
yelash. At city hall the belief obtains N
lat Fellows needs medical treatment o
UGH more than he needs discipline and
is thought that the state authorities Y
ay order his transfer from Rutland to
e state hospital at Waterbury. II is
id that the city charity department de-
med to take any steps toward providing
! opening for Fellows at Waterbury. n,
