Terrible Tenpsred,f Mr. Bangs has
 nothing on Robert J. ;Sarte who was be. fore Clerk M.gWalter Flynn in the Third % district court Tuesday, charged with being an idle person, and wanderiae
 about with no ,visible lneafs5 of support
 when he walked into town Monday night carrying a, long tnli- parked hickory stick
 as. support He sstaIked. into. the pub
 lie library1 and presented a bit of paper
 on which was penciied: :: Where is the police station?" He was, directed to the
 place. He gsoons came back ito the library
 and this time presented a paper on
 which was written 'Nopody. + nome: 4 library sernpioye then accompanied the
 old man to the station. which was lock
 ed. Then came a paper and pencil com
 rnunicatior in which he was advised to
 sit; on the stone step and await the com
 ing of an officer This ,hekaEreed to .dp, but, did not keeI eIAnise agree Enent: He per i sisted in making the Nhrary-shis sbead- j quarters, and sTas intercepted, by Police Sergeant Fergason. He, told the onicer ! he was from Knoxville, Tehn.. and was bound to the Garden Of Edealsi The off5- ! cer was satisfied sthat,the old m an could hear. and could speak, using language that overtowed with abuse, md %cuss words that were far from poetic: He told the officer to mind his business. to. go to the hot place, and even wert<so far as to call him the yitest of. vile names.
 The. old man made an exhibit, or e1- trene bad temper and threatened to Hay the officer with his hickory stick. Al this was caused by the. query of the on1- cer as to his destination. The old man ! with the cane was placed in a. cell Tor safe keeping, and the way he cussed
 and swore was a caution.
 When arraiSned in court Tuesday he
 called the officers d. liars and told 1 the court to go to =. He became very ! irritable When asked where he would go if given his liberty he replied to the
 next police station, /. declaring .f.a, ne ne
 had pu1 up over night at thousand pe-
 Ice stations. He would not calm down,
 but snarled and swore all through the i hearing. He paid no heed to the warn ! incs to have respect for the court, but 1 gave unmistakable evidence of a terrible l temper, and not a man safe to be at
 large with his Big stick. Mir Sarto was
 sentenced to eight months in the state
 work house. I4.
 1 Robert Hughes was before the court, charged with being common drunkard, l having been seen drunk by police oftcers 1 three times within six weeks. Had 1 Hughes been arrested, in his home vil- l faee of Pawcatuck,s he could not be ar 1 raigred ine tho town court of Stoninston,
 as common drankard, unless he had ! been arrested and convicted certain | number .of times, within 2 speciHeo peE- ] iod. .a.-s 7. .,
 l Hughes entered. 8 ,nlea of not guilty. police officers testified he had been ar 1 rested twice within six weeks for drunk enness and would have been arrested a 1 third tilne,. If he had not been taken 1 across the bridge before the arrival of an officer. I The court asked >2 accused if he had 1 anything to- say be.ore sentence was ! given. Hughes said he had steady ern- ploynent and asked that he be not sent l to the state workhouse. He told the court he would agree to remain or the Pawcatucl side of the bridge. except when his work or urgent business took I him to Westerly, and that he would l promise to give up strong drink of judg-
 ment was suspended. He did not believe
 1t would do any good to send him down | the line to work for the state for hss
 board, when he had . home and IS com petent to work and earn good wages. 1 The court imposed the minimum ser 1 tence of six months in the state work
 house. ! 4 paroehial school institate, the first 1 to be held by Catholic school teachers of i the diocese, is being held this week ir i Cathedral hall, Providence. About 4oo
