Bold Robbery at the Bay View House
The Burglar Fired at and Possibly
Wounded.

1ud DQrkldT Flr0O dt anu POSSIBLY
Wounded.
AT about twenty minutes past one o'clock
Tuesday night, Mrs. Waldron Shapleigh,
guest at the Bay View House, was awakened
by noise in her room. She Immediately
awoke Mr.. Shapleigh and informed him that
she had seen man leaving their room but a
few seconds before. Mr. Shspleigh took his
revolver and when the man reappeared he
fred at him. The man turned and fed from
the room. The house was srousediaby the re-
port of the shot, and the place was searched
but no trace of the robber could be found. He
had gained an ingress to Mr.. Shapleighs room
by climbing up post to the piazza, from the
piazza to the roof and then into the window of
Mrs. Shapleigh's sleeping apartment. When
seen by her he was carrying MIR. Sbapleigh' 8
clothes into the next room, When he reap
peared and the shot was fred at him, he ran
back into the same room, jumped out Of the
window on to the root of the billiard hall and
rolled dowd the stairs, breaking them in his
descent. He left the clothes, but carried away
about $40 which he had distracted from them.
1t is thought from the way in which he fell
down the stairs that the shot must have taken
effect and wounded him badly, although no
trace of blood could be found. Officers have
been summoned from Saco to Ferry beach to
look him up.

To keep the soil in condition to
rapidly draw the moisture from below,
,he top should be either well cultivated
ar well shaded; The latter may be best
done by mulcliing, if done before the
dry weather commences. The mulch
should, il possible, be applied early in
the spring. Ii is wonderful what a

Trees that stand where they are cx-

something more than cultivation and
mulching; they need to have some
thing TO prevent The hot sun from

be done by winding around the trunks
