While making preparations for re-

near the police station to fall over a 
year or two ago. Before rebuilding 
the wall, holes will be bored in the 
ledge when the water is out of the

out with dynamite athgh tide. Mr. 
Kimball was in Rockport yesterday, 
ordering stone for the Elm street lay-

A Hold-up in Manchester. 
Clerk William E. Kitfield of the

the victim of a hold-up in the Cove 
woods last night, according to his own 
story. It was about 7 o’clock that he 
was coming through the dark woods 
from the Cove. He reached the top 
of Craft’s hill when a tall man, with- 
out an overcoat, and wearing a slouch 
hat, walking toward Gloucester, 
bumped into him. Mr. Kitfield said 
nothing but hurried on, only to find 
that the man turned and followed him. 
When the stranger hastened his step, 
Mr. Kitfield dug his toes into the 
frozen roadway and covered the re- 
maining distance in short order. 
Later reports have it that several per- 
sons saw a drunken man wending his 
way toward Gloucester about this 
time.
