ATTEMPT TO KICK
AGENT Off TRAIN
Two Men Fined as Migrants
in Municipal Court
Today
WERE RIDING ON
WHITE MT. EXPRESS
Special Agent William Butler Fires
Three Shots After Them as They
Leave Train on Opposite Side - De-
MED Identity at First.


One of two men who were stealing a
ride on the White Mountain express train
which reached here at 12.45 O'Clock this
morning attempted to kick Special
Agent William Butler of the Boston &
Maine service off the train after the officer
had boarded the train to arrest them.
Later the two men were arrested and
were fined for vagrancy in the municipal
court.
If Mr.. Butler had lost his hald he
probably would have been crushed under
the wheels of the train.
On seeing that they could not push Mr..
Butler off the two men jumped down on
the other side and fled. The special
agent fired three shots to stop them but
they escaped. However. they were ar
rested at this morning by the river bank
and taken to the lookup.
They Immediately denied any knowl-
edge of the affair. claiming to have been
here during the night and to have arrived
In town by a motor truck. They said
they had slept in the room of the Ameri-
can Bridge Co.'S night fireman and that
the agent was mistaken as to their iden
titr.
The fireman. when questioned later,
told the officer that the two men had con-
fessed to him that they had escaped from
an officer while riding blind baggage
on the White Mountain express ...-.
The two men. who gave their names as
Dennis Murphy, %, and Joseph Thomp-
son. 20. of Holyoke, Mass, were brought
before Judge Frank ID. f. Stowe in the
municipal count this forenoon on the
charge of eyading the payment of railroad
fare while on passenger train.
On being told the evidence of the bridge
company's fireman and of the fact that
if they pleaded not guilty and asked for a.
jury trial they would be charged with re-
sisting an officer and disturbing the
peace, they pleaded guilty. They were
fined $40 and costs. amounting to SIT 30
which they were given 24 hours to paw.

MARKET
IN NEW LOCATION
VIII Be Located in College Street
Until Permanent Location
Can Be Provided

The community market which was
opened some few weeks ago, and
which has been proving so popular,
both to the farmers and the people II
town, is row located in College street
in the building formerly occupied by
Hill Bros. Garage. This move was
made necessary on account Of the
building in Friend street being rent
ed to Mr.. James Aull, who will on
January 1st open a printing estab-
lishment.
The market will only be in the
building in College street for few
Saturdays, as the city council has
made provision to turn over one of
the stalls in the old city market in
Nance street, and just as soon as this
place is vacated and cleaned out the
market will move again. The coun-
Gil is to be congratulated for their
act in turning this place over to the
community market, for since its op-
ening it has proven very popular in
every sense of the word. This is ev-
idnced by the fact that the sales in
crease every Saturday.
1t is hoped by Miss Berrie, as well
as all those who bring in produce and
other farm products for sale that the
people in town will continue the very
liberal patronage while the market is
in it's temporary place in College
street, as we'll as after it is perma-
nently located in Nance street.
For the benefit of those not know
ing the location in College street, we
will advise you that the building is
the second door from the National
hotel and is divided from the court
house yard by an alley. The market
will be open as usual Saturday from
900 a. m. to 200 p. m.
