an occupant for weeks and months.
Landry came here from New York

stated in court, of working for the Cham
plain Realty Co on log drive. He felt
the need of priming up for the Job and
visited two local stores, buying denatured
alcohol in each place. He became sick
and intoxicated, but to an extent that
required the services of a police officer
instead of physician, and yesterday
Chief Wilson put him in the lock up
Two bottles marked "denatured alcohol
poison" were found in his possession.
This morning Landry was arraignef
before Acting Judge Miller. He pleaded
guilty to the charge of intoxication anC

further sets up that the Massachusetts:
enactment for daylight saving is contrary
to public policy in that this added bur
