Ministerial “Boots" fried to Get a Bicycle Dealer Lockwood of Norwalk, Made "Wise" by Jeweler Dilworth and the Wheel Recovered. A ministerial looking man about thirty years of age attempted to get away with a bicycle owned by Fred- erlck III. Lockwood. the Norwalk bicy— cle dealer, this morning, but by quick work Mr. Lockwood recovered the wheel. though the follow succeeded In getting away. The stranger called at Mr. Lock- wood's place of business and stated that he would like to hire a bicycle for about an hour and handed over a card bearing the Inscription "Dr. A. III. Hill. discoverer and manufacturer of Comp. Anti-Microbe Solution. A cure for diseases of the stomach. liver, blood. nerves and rheumatism. Used In hospitals. Course treatment. Bos- ton. Accompanying the card was a circu- lar telling of the wonderful curative efforts of Compound Anti-Microbe So- lution invented by Dr. Hill; Mr. Lockwood sized the fellow up as all right and contrary to his usual cus- tom dtd not require the man to give any references. Mr. Lockwood then let him have his personal Iver-Johnson wheel. As “Dr. Hlll’ rode up Wall street. Charles H. Dilworth recognized him as "Dr. Elmer", who was In Norwalk a year or so ago and swindled many “patients" and also ”skipped” a board bill at the Hotel Norwalk. Mr. Dil- worth then went to Mr. Lockwood’s store and asked him If he knew who the fellow was to whom he had hired the bicycle. Mr. Lockwood said that he did not know him and Mr. Dilworth then told him who the “Dr" was. Mr. Lockwood believed that his Informant was mistaken. but decided to look him up. Accordingly he took the next trolley car to South Norwalk. where he came face to face with the alleged physician. “Hill" did not think that he was recognized apparently and Mr. Lockwood walked up to the bagv gage room of the east bound station and learned that he had stated that he desired to have the bicycle checked. but had not yet procured his ticket. Satisfied that the stranger Intended to steal his bicycle. Mr. Lockwood walk- ed out to the platform and demanded an explanation. The follow became In- solent at once. but Mr. Lockwood quickly told him that he would "jump out of his clothes" In quick time. Mr. Dilworth had telephoned to South Norwalkand learned that the man was stopping at the Hotel Hanso- ton and told Mr.,yl.ockwood of this fact. The lsttcr,afler procuring his bicycle. was quite satisfied to let the fellow go and went to the Hotel Hamilton and Informed the proprietor that "Dr. Hill" was at the depot walt- ing for the train. Proprietor llamll- ton requested Mr. Lockwood to keep an eye on the follow untll Chief of Police Volumer could be sent for, but the stranger sconlcd trouble and took a course down Munroe street to South Main. through Havllaud street to Water. over to Washington street. across the draw bridge and disappear- ed up the railroad track, going by way of the Colonial Foundry and Machine Company works. He owes Landlord Hamilton eighty—five cents, but the latter has two grips as security. The man evidently walked to Saugatuck. “Hill." "Elmer," or whatever his correct name Is, came. to Norwalk about a year ago. and began a canvas for victims. He would take orders for his medicine, take the money. and tell the victims that they could procure the medicine at a local drug store. When the ”patient" visited the drug store they learned that they had been dup- ed, as no arrangements had been made to give out any medicine at' 'Elmer' a" order. The fellow was In town three or four days and left owing the Hotel Norwalk his beard blll. WILL GO TO SOUTHINOTON. Old Wall Hook d Ladder Company Members to site 7: 42 Train.

The water was about ten feet deep and his feet stock In the mud He was held there by the mod for a few moments. but he finally freed himself and came to the surface. Ropes were thrown to him, but he was able to swim ashore. The worst part of it for him, was the fact that two pretty girls saw the ac- cident.

Deep Mystery Connected with Body loud at Shipper Now IclloVod That It Was a Passen- ger of the Steamer New Hamp- shire and Not Sailor on Newton. The body of the man which was washed ashore at Shippan Saturday. was buried In Stamford yesterday afternoon. It Is thought that the man may have been a passenger on the Sound steamer New Hampshire, of the Stonlngton line. because a key was found In the pocket of the trousers on which was “New Hampshire No. 9." The key might be of a state room on a steamer, C. H. Martin, who took charge of the body, communicated with the ofilcers of the Stonlngton line but up to yesterday afternoon ha heard nothing which would lead to the Identification of the body. Aside from the key more was a purse in which was eighty-five cents and a bone but- ton. The‘ purse was not of the kind that a man of means would be likely to have. The shoes which were on the body were of an expensive make and the trousers and undershirt were of good quality. Medical Examiner In. P. Jones, of Greenwich. who examined. the body In the absence of Medical Examiner Sherill, who Is out of town. said that It must have been In the water for over a week. It Is not thought that It Is the body of a sailor from the schooner w. L. Newton. of Bangor. Maine which was «naked last Tuesday night between Norwalk and Bridgeport. The body is so do- to make any recognition from the face. It Is believed today that the body was that of C. Dunbar, a passenger on the Stonlngton line steamer New Hampshire. A letter was received late last night by the undertaker In charge of the body from the superintendent of the Stonlngton line, saying that‘s poi-I scngcr who signed himself "C. Dunbar. Boston." was assigned to stateroom No. 9 on a recent trip of the steamer. on August 21, and that he was after- ward missing. His stateroom door was locked. and It was supposed that he committed suicide by jumping over- board from the window of the room. The letter adds that Dunbar acted quoerly. and appeared to‘ fear that some one was following him. The number of the stateroom corresponds with that on a key In the clothing of the body. marked "New Hampshire No 9." RED MEN TO“ HAVE ARMORY.
