At four o'clock that afternoon Jimmy boarded the train bound for the last city he would visit in the state , and attracted by the cries of a newsboy , `` All about Judge Granger ! Latest news from Yimville , '' bought a paper and settled himself down to read . The latest advices from the scene of his latest escapade told of the return of Tim .
