Gazette. DECEMBER 3, 1912. SUTTON WONDERS NOW WHERE PARTY WAS HELD Lent His Gold Watch and Overcoat to a New Boarder WHO HAS VAMOOSED Also Owes Fisher For Some BoardThought the "Boarder" Has Gone to Columbus Greenfield Man Tries to Become a Human Tornado and Lands in the Work House For Thirty Days. Monday Fisher Sutton, well known colored church man, loaned his gold watch and a light overcoat to a new boarder at his home to attend a "party." Now Fisher is wondering where that party was and how long it will last. This morning at the police station, Fisher told his story of how he had taken in a strange colored man last Friday, who was asking for board, promising Fisher he would pay him $10 for the few days he expected to stay, as he was only here to collect a bill which a contractor on the N.

W. Railway owed him, amounting to something like $330. Fisher fell for the story, the prospect of good pay and the added security of a money order receipt, which, however, he mistook for the order itself, adding allurement to the smooth story, and since that time Celeste Carter, as the man gave his name, has enjoyed the comforts of Fisher's home. Monday night the colored guest with the nigh sounding French nomen, informed his host that he had an invite to a swell affair and of course desired to go in state, as befitting his importance. Needless say, he went and when Fisher med up his losses, the overcoat belonging to his son, his own gold watch and about $2.75 in hard cash were missing.

Fisher thinks the colored "gentleman" is holding his party in Columbus. When Officer McCorkle of the police force shook the sleeping giant stretched out on one of the baggage trucks at the B.

B. Elliott, and his residence near Greenfield, and stated he was on his way back from Athens but stopped over and took on a few. The few proved too many and it required the combined efforts of the patrolman and Officer Kelly of the B. O. force to subdue Elliott, who is an unusually large man.

Mayor Cahill fined the offender the costs on the charge of intoxication, and $50 and thirty days an officer. Fever Affects the Swiss. Genoa, Switzerland, Dec.
