SEEKS FOR SNOOZE
UNDER WAITING TRAIN
William Gaglis of South Manchester
Fined SO for Careless Sleeping
Under Influence.

William Gaglis, of South Manches-
ter. was visitor I'm this city Satur-
day. whereupon hangs n tale. 1t
seems that William has the secret
which many thirsty souls wish TO
possess and that the secret got him
into what might have been very ser
ious trouble before his adventures in
New Britain had reached their sequel
in police court this morning. Having
imbibed freely OF what he termed
cider. our visitor cast about him for
n place wherein to rest and refresh
his wearied frame before seeking
further hiding places of things for
hidden by Mr.. Volstead. In his cast
ing about he hit upon the railroad
tracks as n likely spot for a snooze,
and. disliking to sleep in the open, he
chose the shadow OF a train which
was waiting for the hour to proceed
from the city. Crawling under the
coach. he slept.
Policeman w. p. McCue got wind
OF the strong resting place. and
sought the city's guest to warn him
OF the predicament in which he had
placed himself. Interrupting his
slum bers before the train got a
chance to do so, the policeman hailed
him before Judge C. w. KIett this
morning in police court, and Mr..
Gaglis was assessed $40 and costs for
his choice of resting spots. The
charge against him was drunkenness
and cider was blamed by the visitor
as the cause OF his downfall.
