land each brought in a man for making dis
turbance Saturday night. The Pool family

Some time ago several boxes containing bed
ding, stored over the Casco Bank, were broken
into and quite an amount of property taken.
The affair was placed in the hands of Officer
York to investigate. After some enquiry he
had reason to believe that Thomas Sullivan
was connected with the larceny, and word was
given out for his arrest. Officers Merrill and
Burnham fourd him yesterday, and he is likely
to prove valuable card, as he is posted in
regard to the criminals of the city.
