One is quite apt to read these days Of
some bold hold-up in broad daylight,
with some culprit or band of yeggs get
ting away with an immense payroll;
but one prominent Barre granite quarter
had his little experience with a missing
payroll yesterday noon that was diff
ferent, and with the aid of the advertis-
ing columns and the honesty on the part
of the one who can furnish information
leading TO its safe return, he hopes to
pass a more comfortable night. After
having received the money, some $500,
from a local bank, he entered other es-
Establishments on Main street and then
headed for Cutler Brothers livery, where
he put up his horse. When he arrived at
his office on the hill he found the bag
was missing from a hip pocket, where
he had carried for the past 81 years
money to pay off quarrymen, without
previous loss. He Immediately got in
touch with people where he visited, with
no result then. There was a little over
$500 in $40 bills, and the remainder was
of smaller denomination. Any informa-
ton left at this Office as to the where
abouts of the money will be communi-
Gated to the owner, and a substantial
reward is awaiting that person.
Business was little more brisk in po-
lice court this morning, there being four
respondents present. Charles J. Mack

were arraigned on charges of drunken

S. with costs of 1896 with the alternate
of 10 days in the county jail As they
were both without funds, they were
obliged to take jail sentences. 1t was
the first offense in both cases. Ralph
Martin, a youth of this city who is Just
out of his teens, was charged with Oper
ating an automobile not his own proper
ty and without the consent of the owner.
The respondent had been in the employ
of Arnholm & Dunbar in their North
