st. Adams, June 10.
The above clipping taken from the
Burlington Free Press of June 10th
will be of interest to many readers
of the Evening Caledonian that live
near the Canadian border and who
know all the facts of the case men
toned. Collector Cummings has hit
the nail square on the head, and
don't intend to let the state papers
give the credit to one to whom credit
is not due. The press was misinform-
ed. The work was as clever a job
as was ever done by any collectors.
They got the goods and the men,
none escaped and the smugglers are
serving their sentence, and if any
more want to try the same game they
| better take some route other than
over the c. p. through Newport.
