drove Mr. James Hitchings to Woodfords to
take Maine Central train. On the return,
the horse, which was very hard puller, and
full OF spirits, got out of Mr.. Littefield' S
control. He tried at first to turn him from
Portland into High street, but seeing that
the carriage would overturn, he pulled the
animal the other way so as to keep right
along on Portland street. The change in
the horses course caused him to strike a
grocery wagon in front of ]. NJ. Edwards's
store. Mr.. Littlefeld was thrown out and
badly cut and bruised. He was taken into
Mrs. Edgar Rowe's house, and DIR. Gerrish
called, who had him removed in Rich's am

is 70 years of age. The horse, valued at
$500. kept on and ran against building on

a Thief RaffIed.


About five o'clock Friday afternoon a man
entered Geo. A. Drew's jewelry store on
Lisbon street. Lewiston, and asked to see
some pins Mr.. Drew passed out tray con-
tanning an assor tment of scarf pins, etc.,
among which were some brilliants and some
diamonds and some ordinary gold pins. The
fellow looked them over and appeared not to
be pleased with what he saw.
After some parley he said he would prefer
one of the pins in the window and Mr.. Drew
turned aside toward the window to attend to
his preferences. AS he turned aside he saw
the man pain" one of the pins and he turned
quickly around.
You don't see anything then you like, do
you?" asked Mr.. Drew.
"No, nothing that like
''Think you won't want any of the pins P"
mo. don't know. Doubt If / shall want
any,"
The fellows uneasiness increased under
Mr.. Drew's questioning. He had at this
time the pin in the palm of his hand. AS he
eyed Mr.. Drew. he glanced down at his own
vest front and lifting his watch chain said !:
Did you buy anything like that?" at the
same time gliding his left hand, containing
ohG piuy lnIO MS trousers pocket.
1t didn't take Mr.. Drew long to make his
decision. With single bound he leaped the
counter; stood in the floor and grasped the
man by the collar.
What do you want?" was the exclama-
ton.
II want YOU"
You amt goin' to keep me. You will
forgive me this time. I'll give it up" was
just at this juncture a second man entered
the store; evidently the thef's pal. He was
small sized man but evidently of Dutch
courage. for he advanced to Mr.. Drew and
ordered him to let go of his man. Mr.. Drew
made no reply.
The second fellow raised chair and adj
vanced and at the next moment dealt crush
ing blow at Mr.. Drew.
The latter was compelled to drop his thief
to ward the blow. At the next moment he
had the assailant by the collar and at the
next, fiat on his back at the threshold of the
door. The thief fled and in spite of MT.
Drew's shouts to stop thief" was allowed to
run the street to Ash street and thence to
parts unknown.
The City Marshal and Mr.. Drew came to
Portland by the midnight train, after the
man, but did not get him. Both men live in
Portland. The assailant is said to be of
good family.
The pin was brilliant" and was found
on the floor where the scrimmage took place.
