SOLD A BOAT TWICE.
A Mean Trick Practiced by Man on Peaks
Island.

A Swede named Samuel Auguston
went to the police station last evening.
He said that he came here last fall with
a shipmate named Clifton Fogg. They
have been working together at Peaks
Island this spring. About the Goth of
last month Fogg bought row-boa from
W. S. Trefethen of Trefethen S. Standing
He had been working for 4Trefethen and
paid SIT for the boat. Two days afterward
he sold the boat to his companion,
Auguston for $40. Trefethen knew moth
ing of the sale. Last Monday Fogg went
to Trefethen and sold him the boat back
for S. Therefore Trefethen claims the
boat and would not give it up to
Auguston. Meanwhile Fogg is alleged to
have pawned Auguston's watch and
skipped out.
Deputy Sterling examined Auguston' g
receipt for his payment of the $40 for
the boat and told him to go and take pos
session of the boat

Fire on Great Diamond Island.

Last evening as the last boat on the
Casco Bay company's line passed Great
Diamond island cottage was discovered
on fire at Echo Point. The cottagers
were evidently working hard to suppress
the flames so that the fire might not
spread. The walls and roof fell in before
the fire was out of view of the steamer.
The cottage was one of the two small
ones that were said to belong to Captain
William Snowman, ituated near each
other on the Point, and it was thought
the one burncd was occupied by DR.. G. O..
Files The loss must have amounted to
several hundred dollars.
