A well-dressed man tells the following story
to the Lewiston police:
He was on his way from Portland to Lewis.
ton, Saturday night, via the Grand Trunk.
He had no travelling companion with him,
and on the way in from Portland passed into
the smoking car for a smoke. He met there a
gentleman who opened conversation with
him. His new acquaintance was affabie and
polite, and finally asked him to take drink
from flask that he produced from his pocket
He foolishly took the drink. He RENE mbers
nothing from that moment until Sunday morn
ing. Everything is a complete blank. He
awoke Sunday morning on tho river bank. His
gold watch and chain with valuable Masonic
emblem, and pocket-book with about S25 in
bills were gone. He told his story to officers
Hilton and Clifford of the Lewiston police.
He couldn't satisfactorily describe the man
whom he met, having taken no particular
notice of him. He refused to give his name,
saying that it could do no good and might
possibly come to the notice OF his relatives.
