BOLD BENJAMIN BUNKER.
He Arrested Bad Man and Is En-
titled to $4,000.

WATERvILLE, June 5.-City Marshal Ben
iamin Bunker, who is also editor of the
Kennebec Democrat, and Democratic poll,
tician, we'll known throughout the state, has
just done very clever piece Of detective
work that will probably put into his pocket
the neat sum of $4,000. A few days ago it
was published that Fred Bowen, with nu-
mer0us aliases, notorious thief and crimi-
nal, had been apprehended at Augusta, Me-,
m put nothing was said Of the particulars of
his capture, nor the credit of his arrest Civ
en- to any one. Last spring, after the bur
glary of Jewelry store at Milford, Mass,
when watches to the value of $500 were tax
en-, postal cards containing a likeness of
Bowen, to whom the robbery was traced,
were sent out. and Marshal Bunker received
one of these cards. Soon after he noticed a
young man peddling jewelry in this city,
who bore some resemblance to the likeness
ehusetss. The marshal Kept a watch upon
the pedder, and sent word to the authori-
ties in Milford Of his suspicion, but received
no answer. Bowen, in the meantime, be-
came suspicious of Bunker and left town.
He was in a few days located at the Ed
wards mill, Augusta, and Bunker, becoming
satlshed OF tne mans iuenJJy, went Jnere
and arrested him, and locked him up in Au-
gusta Jail till the officer whom he telegraph
ed for should arrive. Bowen was taken to
Worcester by State Detective Haytel of Mas
sachusetts. Bowen is wanted for numerous
burglaries in Massachusetts. Rewards ag-
gregating $4,000 have been offered for his
last night from Massachusetts, where he had
talked with Boston officers regarding these
rewards. They say there is no doubt that
Bunker can collect them.
