FALSE PRETENcEs.-A week ago last Friday
a man named John Callahan presented himself
at the office of the Portland Packing Company
in this city, and representing himself as agent
for W. W. Chute, Otisfeld, who had furnished
corn to the company to the amount of $306. %.
He asked Mr.. Rice for the amount due Mr..
Chute, and when asked how much it was re-
piled promptly and received the money. On
Saturday when Mr.. Chute came in for his mon
ey the swindle was exposed, and Callahan,
who had been at work on farms in Otisfeld,
was at once suspected, as Mr.. Chute had told
him the amount the company owed him.
The case was given to Marshal Bridges, who
telegraphed in all directions for the man. On
Friday he was tracked from Boston to Paw
tucket, r, l.. where he was arrested as stated
in the sPREss of Saturday morning. He was
playing with Lulu Wentworth's variety show
at the time of his arrest. Marshal Bridges was
notified of his arrest and went up on the Pull
man Friday night returning Saturday with the
prisoner. He had but little of the plumber
with him at the time of his capture He is
