Ole Mis'sip.-He boarded the train
at Yazoo, Mississippi, with a lower
berth ticket for st. Louis. The porter
mt him in his section, and he sat
stock still for few minutes and star
ed suspiciously at his surroundings.
The first words he spoke were to the
porter, about seven o'clock.
when kin turn in he asked.
While the porter was making up the
berth the old man stood swaylng In
the aisle, catching at seat ends with
one hand and clutching his little black
yalise with the other. When the berth
was ready he looked speculatively up
and down the aisle, and then, after
fidgeting round, abruptly departed
from the car. In about five minutes
he poked his head in at the vestibule
door and yelled:
Look out, ev'ybody! Here comes
Ole Mis'sip'!'
And come he did! He was in his
nightgown, a voluminous white gar
ment that fell an inch or so below his
knees, and his scrawny shanks and
feet were bare. AS he rushed up the
aisle, his clothes on his arms and his
shoes and valise in his hands, ladies
gasped and retired behind newspapers.
He threw his clothes and shoes into
the berth and dived head first after
them, drawing the curtains to with
violent yank. In second the cur
tains parted just far enough to allow
a tufted chin and part Of a lanky-
jawed face to protrude.
"Ole Nis'sip mebby is leetle mite
slow on these here newfangled She
bangs" he chuckled, "but he gifts thar
jist the same!"
Ole Mis'sip had undressed on the
vestibule platform.

LOCAL YOUTHS HOLD
 UP AND ROB FARMER
Swain, Fritz and Helen Each Fined $50 in Willimantic
 Police Court Today.

Fred Swain, aged 16, Todd Fritz, aged Is, and Herbert Helen, aged 1 6, all of this city, were arraigned in the WlllimantiC police court this morning charged with assault, their predica- ment being the result of an escapade yesterday afternoon, that for a time placed them in a serious light. When first taken into custody by the Willi- mantle police, the charge of highway robbery was preferred against them. Today, through Lawyer Danahey, the lads pleaded guilty to assault and were fined $50 and costs each.
 Swain, Fritz and Helen left this city on 8 freight train yesterday morning. In the Thread City the idea of the holdup was matched and as q result Keli Haddad, a farmer of Chestnut Hill, became the victim. Haddad was on his way home through Mountain street, near Hosmer Noun tain, when the three boys with masks on, jumped from the nearby bushes and in true western style ordered him to throw up his hanGS. One of the youths was armed. The usual com mand to "Come acrOss' was made OF the victim who protested that he was a poor man and had only one dollar in his possession. This he gave up. Had dad was ordered to move on and not to turn back. When he reached a telephone he communicated his eXper- fence 10 the bClice.
 Lieut.. Allan McArthur and Traf- f1c Officer Edward Leahey were put on the case, anG they succeeded in rounding up the trio in the freight yard of the Air Line" They admit ted their act to the officers. When searched one dollar and a 32 calibre revolver were found in Fritz's posses sion.
 The local police had not been noti- fled of the affair, but had indirectly been advised of the disappearance of the three youths.

Discuss Strike situation.

Boston,, Aug. 28.-The threatened strike of carmen of the Eastern Mas sachusetts Street railway was before the state board of conciliation and ar filtration today. The board had asked for the appearance of members of the joint conference board of the Bay State Carmen's union and the public trustees of the road at a hearing at the, state house.
 An investigation by the state board was sought by union leaders on the ground that the war labor boards s award of 50 4-10 cents an hour was .iIlegal. They claimed the arbitrators @9n making the award had failed to take into COnsid iteration the prevailing wage rate for the district and that as the national board has since gone out of existence the only body to which an appeal could be taken was the state board.

SUICIDE SEEMS CERTAIN
Indications Now Are That Vermont Authorities Feel Certain Aged Art iSt Took His Own Life.

Burlington, Vt, Aug. 2S.-Follow- ing conference between Attorney Gen. L. C. Archibald and Dr. c. F. Whitney Of the state laboratory this morning, it became practically certain that no further activity would result in the Stacy she oting as the authori- ties appear to be convinced from the result of the autopsy that the wounds were self inflicted ana the dead man was a suicide.
 No one i'll authority would be quot ed as willing to advance such a find ing, but from the general aspects of the case today and the attitude found among both local and state officials there appears but little doubt that the final finding will agree with that of Medical Examiner Ravey in his decision that MT. Stacy shot himself while sitting on he floor of his dining room Sunday night. At this time there is no way of aC counting for the many unusual deVelCl mCnts in the case but it is believed that eventually many facts now considered a mystery will be explained.
