 Walter Timinski, who rooms at the Bristol House, will think twice before he plays the Good Samari- tan" act again. The reason for his change of heart can be attributed to the fact that his last charitable act cost him $61 in good American dollars.
 Timinski, who came to the city from West Rutland, Vermont about a year ago and has worked steadily ever since, was walking along Main street about a week ago when he happened to meet an old school chum by the name of Oliver La Moire, also from West Rutland. Both were overjoyed to see each other again and LaMoire, who had been here only few days, readily accepted the invitation of Timinsh to share the latters room. LaMoire had endeavored to find a job and as his finances were getting low, the hospitality offereds him by Timinski was accepted. For the past week he has had the free use of his friends room and although, according to the story he told each day, he had been unsuccessful in landing q job.
 Last evening, Timinski retired about II o'clock and LaMoire sat up writing several letters. The former asked his bed-fellow when he was going to retire and LaMoire answered that he wished to write few more post cards before turn ing it. Timinsli, tired after his days work, dropped off to sleep al- he happened 10 wake up. Noticing the light still Burning, he thought his friend had simply stepped out for a few minutes. but when he did not return. Timinski got up to look around. He stepped into the hall and seeing no one, returned to his room. A few minutes later he looked in the clothes closet to see if his friend had put on his coat and much to his surprise found that all of LaMoire's clothes were miss ing from their accustomed hooks. This aroused his suspicious and go- ing to his trousers, he searched the pockets and discovered that S6l, all the money he had had with him, had departed simultaneously with LaMoire.
 The police were notified this morning of the theft and the matter is now in the hands of Detective Sergeant Daniel NIcGillicuddy, It is believed that LaMoire will head for his home town and the authori- ties of that city have been instruc- ted to watch for him.
 Complaints Received By Police
 The police department is called ments arising between neighbors, | many of which, while amusing, | necessitate the sending of an officer to the scene to act as mediator.
 A few days ago a telephone call 1 was received informing the sergeant that neighbor to the party making the complaint had moved his lawn | and some of the grass had fallen on the complainants sidewalk. The neighbor refused to sweep off the 1 walk with the result that the police were notified. An officer. who went 1 to the location, succeeded in set | tling the argument 10 the entire sat- isfaction of both parties concerned. | It is not known whether or not the officer wielded the broom himself or succeeded in convincing the operator of the lawn mower that it was up to him to clean the walk.
 Yesterday another call was re- ccived to the effect that a neighbor of a certain woman had appropriate ed the latter's hen and had placed | the bird in his own coop. Officer James Burns succeeded in straight ening out the dispute over owner ship and the hen was returned to its original roost.
 Many such complaints are received by the department from day to day and are simply an indication that neighbors in many instances are not as neighborly as they should be.
