IN TROUBLE.
"A man VINO Bought Hotel and Landed
In Jaii-His Doings in Franklin County
and Elsewhere.
FARNINGToN, Feb. 10,

FARNISGToN, Feb. II.
Frederic c Dinock of Minot was com.
mitted Thursday, to the Franklin county isil
al armlngton, having been found guilty of
ootaihing real estate under false pretences at
his trial Wednesday, before Trial Justice ]
W. butterfield, at Phillips. 1t seems that
several weeks ago Dimock appeared in
1reenvale Plantation in the role of a wealthy
citizen, and purchased for a large sum the
himoall House, at the foot of Rangely Lakes,
with all Its appurtenances and the farm upon
which it is located. The Kimball House is
one OF the leading Rangely Lake hotels and
is valuable property. Dmock bought the
place entirely on credit, giving his mortgage
ana agreeing to pay in installments covering
two years. The owner, George M. Estv, it is
claimed, was given the privilege of remain
ing at the hotel this winter and of storing his
nay IN the barns until spring. No sooner
were the deeds recorded than Dimock gave
Estv twenty-four hours notice to leave, and
forty-eight hours in which to remove his
nay and began to behave in such a mystic
rlous way that suspicious were aroused, and
the town officers of Minot were wired. who
responded that he was man without means
and generally considered insane. He was
Immediately arrested on a warrant issued by
Trial Justice John Haley of Rangely, with
the result above narrated. Investigation into
the history of the man shovs that ho foruarl,,
lived in Limington and there accumulated a
large property, but becoming insane was
committed to the asylum at Augusta in 1874,
where he remained several months and then
received partial discharge. He Immediately
brought suit against the town of Limington
tor false commitment to the asylum, laying
the damage at some $4,000. The case was
thrown out of court as soon as reached. He
then removed to Minot, where his property
has been expended in his support. The bar
gaining for and purchase of property and real
estate seems to be great mania with him.
Lately he had become more violent and the
selectmen of Minot had been applied to, to
order his removal again to the asylum at
Augusta. In some wav he learned of the
contemplated action and disappeared, and no
trace of him could be discovered until he was
heard of in this county, playing the high
hand that has resulted in his commitment to
the Pennington Jail, under seven hundred
dollar bonds to await the action of the grand
jury at the coming March term.
