Andy Edson managed to get a short vacation at the Hanover Inn recently.

Doc Tanzer has finally thrown in the towel and quit the field of peace, security, solitude and comfort. That is, he got married. On Christmas Eve he took to wife Lt.

They aint much happened sence the last ritin. They lugged a feller up before me for beating up his wife wunce or twice and I read the warrant to him and says "Dew yew want a lawyer before we start tew consider your case?" He looks awl around the room, at the Sheriffs, the State Perlice and me and says

"Lord no! I'm in enufE trubble now without getting no lawyer mixed up in this mess." Pretty sound judgment I should say. Wun nice thing about this job. In New Hampshire the Hon Jug has to take care of the confistercated goods. Next time the boys nail a bootlegger I shall cawl the Boston Delegashun to come up and give me a hand.
