Thug in Boston Targets Former Alderman's Charm
Ex Alderman Dura L. Howard, in Boston during last week’s riots, narrowly saved a gold Masonic charm from a robber. He recounted scenes in Seollay Square where a mounted officer dispersed hoodlums, drew his gun, and arrested a suspect. Militia arrival toned down the chaos, with Boston appearing calmer by Thursday night. A schedule change moved the Workmen’s train to 12:40 to aid plant workers. Mr and Mrs Leon Mason of Dorchester visited in Bangor in their Hudson.
