to arrest the grocer. Rooney was more

MARRY GUSSIE OR NOBODY.
The Doom Which Miss Peck Pro-
nOunces Upon Hyman Epstein.

Hyman Epstein. OF 27s East Houston
street, was arraigned in the Essex Mar
ket Police Court to-day on complaint
Of Gussie Peck. of POS East Thirty eighth
street.
Gussie declared that she gave Epstein
$500 to marry her and that he refused to
carry out the contract.
Epstein was discharged, but when he
reached the sidewalk he was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff and taken to Ludlow
street Jail. Gussie had also brought an
action for breach of promise of mar
riage, and 1t was only a trick to get
Epstein to come to Essex Market Court
so that the Deputy Sheriff could easily
arrest him.
A smile of satisfaction played over
Gussie's face as she saw her lover led
to Jail, and she said that II he did not
marry her. she would see that he
would not marry any other woman.

His paternal grandfather, with two broth
ers, participated in the battle of Bunk
er Hill and in other battles of the Reyo-
luton. Judge Dresser's early life WAS
spent in Pownal and Danville, until
1854, when e moved to Auburn. At
that time he was photographer, and
was one of the pioneers of the business
in Auburn. He had a good mind, a
strong love of ,educa ton. and had been
good student. For twelve years previ-
GUS to comingsto IA uBarn he had taught
school and had 1nc@lpied positions of
trust, having been a member of the sup
erintending school committee and Sc
lectman at Pownaf, and from 1850 to
1855 was county commissioner of Cum
berland.
Soon after his arrival in Auburn,
Judge Dresser gave his leisure time to
the study of law, and in 1868 was admit
ted to the bar and began his practice.
He had a knowledge of civil engineer
ing and was a good surveyor. He was
an unusuallyssgood authority on matters
pertaining to titles and general town
law. He was treasurer and clerk OF
Auburn for seven years, and assessor four
years. In 1875 he was appointed judge
of the Auburn municipal court, dis
charging his duties conscientiously and
justly up to his resignation two years
ago. He was early in life connected
with the militia, and held the positions
of lieutenant, captain and major.
In 1S47 Judge Dresser married Mary A.
Hammond of New Gloucester.

money and beating their way horne, were
in a. box car, when suddenly there was a
sharp rap for admittance and the door was
opened. On the outside were four masked
men armed with pistols. Two of the men
entered the car and commanded the occu-
pants to throw up tEeir hands. They then
ordered them to stand in line, and while
one of them held a gun his companion went
through the outfit. They secured $500 in
