BAD WILLIAM CARNETT.
After Graduating from the Reform
School He Tries Horse Stealing.

SHERMAN MILLS, Jan. 21.-Several
months ago young man named William
Garnett, aged % years and graduate of the
State Reform School, went to reside in the
east part of Sherman, Aroostook county.
This winter he has been living at Mr. A. III.
Higgins and doing the chores, while Mr.
Higgins was away threshing. Late last
Friday night Garnett stole horse belonging
to Mr.. Higgins, also a harness, and having
fitted himself out with team he next tried
to secure some money. AS Mr.. Higgins had
sold some oats short time before, Garnett
thought the money was in Mrs Higgins
possession.
He broke into the room where Mrs. II. was
sleeping and demanded the money. He
threatened the woman and choked her severe
ly to make her tell where the money was
Kept but did not succeed in getting it. 1t is

Business Troubles Threatened at
Lynn,

Troublous times are brewing in Lynn,
Mass, and indications point that the threat
ened extensive boycott of leading manufac-
turers will be carried out by the Knights of
Labor within twenty-four hours unless the
manufacturers threatened accept the work
ingmen's ultimatum and take back the men
that they have discharged, it is alleged, be-
cause of joining labor organizations, and
cease their war on the Knights of Labor.
1t is stated that deputation of the exeeu-
tive board, K. of L., ID. A. n, waited on
Keene Brothers on Tuesday, and have been
in conference with the firm upon the demand
made that the firm shall restore the men that
they discharged at Skowhegan because of
their having joined labor organizations
there. The Lynn factory was struck in con-
sequence of this, but the firm has continued.
The firm differs from the other Lynn facto-
ries in that it is not in the Shoe & Leather
Association, and therefore fights its battle
alone The question of general boycott
against the firm was brought up at the con-
ference, and it is stated that the answer of
the heads of the factory was that If there
was to be such a thing the firm would en-
deay0r to meet it by uniting with Il. +. Spin
ney d Co., who have a factory at Norway, in
running grocery and general store, If need
be. The idea conveyed was, it is alleged,
that Keene Brothers would unite with B. f.
Spinney & Co. in an issue against labor or
ganizatious. If the Knights Of Labor boy
cotted the grocer who sold them goods, or
the dry goods dealer who did the same, for
their own protection the firm would go into
the business themselves. By thus uniting
subsistence, and it was evident that threats
had little weight with this firm. The leaders
of the X. of L. declare that if the two firms
Of Keene Brothers and Spinney & Co. con-
tinue their war upon them, within the next
Lynn to the Grand Master of the United
States to declare boycott. b. F. Spinney
& Co. have no business in Lynn, and being
out of the State fight will be made through
the Maine Knights upon them. If such
boycott was declared there would come an
interesting test. The Lynn Knights claim
that thew will carry their mint

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. -2o.-Collector Her
bert Beecher received information a while
ago that opium was stored in Kaasan Bay,
