Everybody in Gardiner knows
George E. Joy and everybody has a
full measure of respect for the een-

nody who knows him will be more
than slightly surprised to learn that
ne recently gave an exhibition 81
hitherto unsupported pugilistic abil-
tiles at the Union station in Port
land. said exhibition resulting in his
appearance in the Portland court:
Tut that's part that should follow
later.
Mr.. Joy had occasion to visit Port
land within a week and while wait
ing at the Union station and think
ing how much better the Gardiner
station was, a colored man became
very sohtlous Of Mr.. joys personal
appearance and going up to him he
essayed to brush some dust from Mr..
Joys raiment. CHANGING down just
d trlf1e too soon to suit the admirer
Of clean coats and trousers, Mr.. .Joy
saw that his pocketbook was in the
hand of the colored man. Whether
Mr.. Joy regretted the prospective loss

expressed of the service he had rem
dered this mans ancestors when he
served as a member Of Company f,
Thirty first Maine Regiment in the
days of 81 and '65 will proba bly,
never be known. At any rate Mr..
Joy didn't think it was his duty to
inquire if he didn't have something
else about his person the man would
like. He concluded very rapidly that
he did have and forthwith presented
it straight from the shoulder and
then handed a few more for good
measure.
Then came Mr.. Joys appearance
IL court, not in the dock but in the
witness chair, and the result was
that the young colored man will be
deprived of his liberty for some time
to come. for in addition to being
sentenced for attempting to lift Mr..
joys pocketbook, it was ascertained
that he was wanted in Phila delphia
for highway robbery. Some of the
younger generation would not have
been quite SO puck or so handy with
their fists as was Mr.. JOY.
