CAPTAIN j. H. Bulser was endeayoring |
20 ascertain on Friday whether man |
arrested the evening before in Webster |
is the same as the one wanted here for
sfraudulently obtaining money from per-
sons whom he pretended to treat for ills
from which they are suffering, his fan
tastie methods being such as. to stamp
him as fakir.
The man arrested in Webster has been
variously known in the past as Kents1
King, Laplant. Leboeuf and under other
names. His home is in Worcester. He
has previously been arrested for falsely
Massachusetts,.
His arrest this time followed upon his
calling at the home OF WEBSTER official
and seeking from him a list Of names Of
persons who were Ill and needed treat
ment. According to q statement given
out In. Webster. the man charged any
| where from az to s112 for. a series of
| larger sum. On a 81 course a patient
took his own chances.
| Captain Bulger has. a warrant for tie
man who operated in this city and II he
| finds that the man held in Webster Is
the same and no successful prosecution
is possible against him in the courts of
that town, he will ask that he be he'd
until arrangements can be completed -
bring him back TO this city, The Daniel
son police also want a man that has
been carrying on the same kind Of a
game as the person held in Webster.
/ since tho opposition voiced by Alder
man Dugss against the two proposed
| amendments to the city charter has be-
come so strong, there seems to be doubt
| in many quarters in the city now as to
whether the amendments will be APP
proved by the legislature. In the mean
time the proposed amendments have been
introduced in the legislature and have
/ been referred to the committee on cities
| and boroughs. 1t is likely that when a
1 hearing on these measures is announced
| by the committee that an appearance will
| be made in behalf Of those Of the citi-
zens OF the city who are opposed to them,
It was stated here on Friday.

the files of the public library of this city
are number Of volumes dealing with
government, the machinery of the gov
eminent and other kindred topics as they
