HANCOCK COUNTY.

The town of Orland has been stirred up
recently over the finding of top buggy har-
ness and carriage shawl hidden in the woods
Saturday, Detective G. w. Hartman went
there and investigated the case. He found
that on July 23d stranger drove into the
town with dark brown horse attached to q
black covered buggy, and asked Mr.. Han
cock to pasture the animal, the man saying
that he was going to Moosehead Lake and
should not need the team. Mr.. Hancock
said he could not attend to the matter, but
thought his neighbor could. The man drove
off into the next field. A horse was found in
a field of oats some time afterwards, ana the
owner of the field put the horse in his barn.
Nobody called for him, and the animal was
placed in charge Of the pound-keeper. Mr..
Charles Dore has the carriage and carriage
shawl. Mr.. Hartman thinks that the team
was stolen, and the thief. having travelled
as far as he dared, left it. The horse answers
the description of one stolen in July at Ran
dolph, Me-, by man giving his name as
Doyle. The owner has sent to 0rland to
identify the horse.
