The Dover Observer says: Frank More
house, young man who has been employed
at Mayo Sons mill at Foxcroft as dyer,
was arrested few days ago on complaint Of
the proprietors for tampering with the soap
used for washing the cloth, his object being
to destroy the cOlors and render the cloth
almost worthless after it has passed through
the dyer's hands. 1t seems that he WAS
working his notice at that time, having been
detected at some unlawful practices in con-
necton with the business, but for which his
services would probably have been retained.
We understand that he settled the matter by
paying $3.50, and departed on the following
morning for another place.
