forenoon, and the consequence, the early
part of the afternoon was required for re-
pairs. 1t was at work, however, a little
after four o'clock, and was heartily well
coined on the street.

A fellow came to Saco last Saturday
night, one week ago, registered his name at
Saco House as A. T. Morton of Boston,
and advertised grand pedestrian tourna-
ment at City Hall, to-day. His display of
prizes and flaming advertisements failed to
draw house, although few boys entered
and walked few hours this afternoon. At
7.45 p. m. he left boy in charge at the
door and went out, saying he would return
shortly. At $50 the janitor of the hall
concluded he had been duped and closed
the hail. Morton leaves his hotel bills I'M
paid and bill of twenty-six dollars for use
OF City Hall. The janitor thinks he Nor
toni may have taken five dollars at the
door which he has carried away. Officers
are looking for him and will be at incom-
ing of Pullman. As he pretends to be
walker himself he has probably taken
pedestrian trip out of town and out of
reach of the officers.
