OF the Spoils of War Found on the Post
Office Robbers-Looney Claims it for
Professional Services and Hopper Be-
cause He Says 1t Is His.
Judge Putnam will be called upon this
week to decide to whom the money found
in the possession of the convicted posi-
Off oe burglars is to 6e paid. He will have
some nice points to consider, for instance
the difference in color between American
and English gold.
1t will be recalled by the readers of the
PRESS that some time ago James Lamb,
James Colsman and John Powers. were
axrsaeA1 and brought here charged with
hsving broken into the post office at Dam
Sarth. They were indicted and were sub
sequently tried in the United States court.
Col. A. ". Bradbury representing the gov
ernment, and William H. Looney. Esq.,, the
respondents. They plead guilty to the
charge of breaking into the post office at
Danforth, but not guilty to an Indictment
charging them with the commission Of the
same crime at Barring. They were tried,
convicted and sentenced TO the state prison
for five years. When arrested they had
about $500 with them. in fact they claimed
that the actual amount fell few dollars
short of $500. The money is in the hands Of
Mar shal Donovan, and they gave Mr..
Looney an order to draw it in payment for
his services as their attorney, and for other
purposes.
The money is, however, claimed by
Lemuel A. Hopper. the postmaster at Can
terbury, n. B., whose office WAS broken into
.xfiic on, this cido Of
The line were entered Mr. Hopper lost
S264, and his description of the money he
lost corresponds to some degree with the
money found on the burglars at the time of
theiI arrest.
For example, there were a number of
Canadian bills some issued by the Mer-
chants bank of Halifax. There was also a
considerable amount in gold, including a
crown piece, and Mr.. HooLer not only
claims TO be able TO show the exact denomi-
nation of the gold and notes, but in the
case OF the gold to be able to give desciip-
tion of the money itself. In his claim filed
with Col. Bradbury. he describes very close
ly the difference in the color. of the coins.
and the shades of variation in point of
color between the English and American
gold.

made out his case, or shown the connection
of the burglars now at Thomaston with the
robbery of his post office. 1t is admitted
that Mr.. Hopper suspects.that they were
the ones who bI oke into his Office. but he
has not submitted any proof of that fact.
When the matter comes before Judge Put
nam there will be likely to be some out of
the ordinary line of expert evidence. ass it
will be necessary to show that the peculiar
shadings described by Mr.. Hopper exist.
OF course if there is general and not a
special difference between the two classes
of coins, it would make the Identification
less complete.

THE FIELD OF SPORTS
LOOKS WORSE THAN FOOT BALL.
But 1t Isn't-How Portland Man Played
aReckiess Game in South America.

''Well, 1t is astonishing what boys Will do'
said Clarke Barker, ESQ.,. yesterday, IN
regard to the injuries received by football
players, in Saturdays games and then ne
mentioned the following rough sport IN
which he engaged in the Argentine kepuo-
lie when a.boy about sixteen years OF age.
One boy would mount horse and put IL
to swift gallop and another would throw
a lasso around the horses fore legs ana
bring it to the ground in an instant. Inc
skill of this consisted, not.so much in the
throwing of the lasso, though that required
long practice, but in the riders not only
saving his neck when the horse fell, but
landing square on his feet and running on
ahead safe and sound. 1t required great
agility, for the horse might fall to either
side or turn somersaults. True this sport
might occasionally kill horse, through
that was only matter of 81 or S5. but it
didn't kill boys SO frequently as foot ball
does, despite it's apparent recklessness.
