To Dorchester Man

Arthur L. Brigham of sol Wash
incton street, Dorchester. Mass,
while stopping over in this city for
short time to visit the Maine Cen
trail Railroad shops was, he believes,
cleverly relieved of his purse which
contained $50, three ten dollar bills
and one twenty-and two railroad
passes. He promptly notified the
police, but really entertained little
hope of seeing his pocketbook again.
II was at about 100 A. NJ. Saturday
that Mr. Brigham first became aware
Of his loss. a little later in the day
two boys, George Hines and Virgil
Steamer of about ten years Of age
entered police headquarters and
handed the pocketbook to Offlcer
George Beckett who was at the desk.
The boys were sharply questioned,
and in a straightforward manner told
Mr. Beckett where and how they had
found it. The passes were intact,
but the fifty dollars was. gone. Mr..
Brigham was called in to claim his
properly, and was thoroughly con-
yinced, as was officer Beckett, that
the lads were perfectly honest.
Mr.. Brigham said he was rall-
road shop man at New Haven, and
said that though it is possible that
he might have lost the purse while
taking something from the breast
pocket of his coat where it was kept,
he feels pretty we'll convinced that
some deft-fngered rogue played the
heavy role in the disappearance Of
his roll of long green.

back Of the child's ear, preparing
to remove a section Of diseased
bone that lay directly against the

Riere, stood by ready to respond
instantly to the soft-spoken instruc-
lions of the surgeon and the anaes'

operating room brought out every

Suddenly and without warning,
as the surgeon leaned forward to
apply the scalpel again. the oper-
ating room went black. The lights

BOSTON CLUB HAS
BUSY WEEK WITH
KALI DOZEN GAMES

Rockland, generally conceded to be
the fastest outfit in the Coast League
this summer, will not have as easy a
time as is generally expeced when
they stack UP against the Braves Re
cruits tonight down at Rockland. The
recruits showed signs of the effects
of a 200 mile jaunt in the game with
Togus yesterday but will have recov-
cred today and in addition to this
will be strengthened by several men
who will be sent from the Braves.
Fans who saw the game yesterday
were of the opinion that the recruits
were fast club that prayed ball as
if they were tired and nervous and
with several men on the team ex-
pecting trYouts under the supervision
of Bancroft this was probably the
case. The team has a full schedule in
Maine this week and should make a
good showing for the rest of its
games with various all star aggrega-
tons in this state.
After playing Rockland tonight the
team will jump to Wateryille where
they will meet the Taconnets Tues
day afternoon. They will probably be
opposed by Bragg, the Georgetown
hurler, who has been pitching for the
Elm City this year. The team will go
to Rowland. Wednesday, where they
viii meet an all star aggregation of
ball players in that section. Earl
! Heal, Bill Buckland and the rest OF
the stars in the Piscataquis League
will play against the recruits Thurs
