our streets early Monday morning insane. She
came up Main street by the way Of tie depot, and
when abreast of Hopkins \ Staples place Of bust
met several men who were smoking. She
asked them to stop smoking and grabbed their
pipes from their mouths Seeing others inside the
shop with pipes she made a rush for them, putting
her hands through the window and breaking out
three panes Of glass. Her hand was cut slightly
and on seeing the blood She tainted upon the walk.

Early in August the body Of man was found in
the river at North Bucksport. At the time the body
was not recognized but since 1t has been found to
have been that Of John McCrystle, of Bangor. 1t
seems that McCrystle in company with John Me
Hugh and Timothy Looney left Bangor in sail
boat. The two latter men returned but said nothing
about their companion until arrested by the city
marshal. They now say that McCrystle was intox-
cated and caused the boat to be overturned, which
sunk. They swan ashore but McCrystle was
drowned They did not say anything about it for
the boat stolen AMI they feared arrest. Their
story is not believed by all and 1t is thought ii may
be a case of foul play McCrystle was well known
in Belfast, having worked q few years ago for
Frank Perkins, carriage painter, and he has
been here frequently since.
