a Rough Gang of Burglars and
Tramps Captured.
Mrs. Firth Frightens TWO Thieves
Away from Her House.

Yesterday up to 10 y. m. the police made
six arrests; one for larceny and five for
drunkenness. A little after 10 o'clock WORD
came to the station for the team and the call
stated that six men had been arrested ana
were In irons at the Cleaves Monument ON
the hill, The men were brought In. rather
young set of fellows, but nevertheless a lot
of dangerous ones One Of the number was
badly wounded. There was frightful cash
in his Leg He said he was cut
with a razor, but who cut him he
did not know. DR.. King dressed his
wounds. This gang is composed of men, two
of whom claim they came from Boston. two
from New York and the others from the
West At any rate the police know they are
strangers In Portland. Last night they
knocked man down In front Of Mr.. Isaac
z. Atkinson's house on the Eastern Prone
made and would have robbed him IL they had
not been frightened away. The man whom
they assaulted is probably the person who
cut the tough In the leg with q razor. The
men took their companion in their arms and
Ned down over the hill to Grand Trunk car
which they broke open and entered. Officer
Smith heard them and went for some other
officers. The car was raided and the whole
gang captured. Judge Gould will fix them
today.
Another man, who said he Is from New
York, was brought in for drunkenness, max
ing thirteen arrests yesterday. s
Two burglars were seen by Mrs. Firth,
wife Of Officer FIRTH, last night lettering
har
and asked what they wanted They hid
their faces and askedif Street Commissioner
Noyes lived there. NO." said Mrs. Firth,
"but Officer Firth lives here and you had
better clear out" They did go as last as
possible and Mrs. Firth chased them. These
same men attempted to enter another house,
but were frightened away. One had on a
straw hat and dark clothes. and was slim
man. The other wore black stiff hat and
light clothes, and was rather trampish
looking fellow. 1t is thought that possibly
they are members of the gang arrested In the
freight car.
Officers Webster and Usher are off on
their vacation, and Officer Williams is tax
ing Mr.. Webster's place in the office.
Officers Harmon and Skillings had tough
time arresting Mr.. O'Hare,:better known to

IT WILL PROVE A;WoNDER.
Is What Many Believe Of har. MIKE
DavIs's Kerosene Steamer.

Mr.. Mike Davis, the famous boat builder
and oarsman Of this city. has just put into
the water kerosene steamer that bids fair
to solve the problem of boat builders. The
great problem has been to obtain strength
and speed. and to do this Mr.. Davis has
been working for a long time. The steam
launch referred to has been constructed for
Mr.. E. s. Eaton Of this city. 1t is 80 feet
long, and contains small Stickney engine.
1t is marvel of strength land lightness.
Two men, before the machinery was put in,
could lift it, and yet it will carry thirty per-
sons. The bow of the boat is as sharp as a
knife, and it rests upon the water with the
buoyancy of canoe. The workmanship
displayed in the construction of this giant
steam shell, for it somewhat resembles an
oarsman's shell. is Of the highest order. The
design of the boat, and the method of its
construction are original with Mr.. Davis,
and those who have seen the unique craft
believe it will prove wonder. 1t will be
given trial tomorrow.
