much suffering among those who are
much in need.

Several cottages were broken into by
thieves at Old Orchard Sunday night,
among them the cottage of Oren Hooper

thieves made a thorough search and did
considerable damage, though they did

helped themselves to the wardrobe of the
clergyman, putting on his clothes and

Three months ago Murdoch Mckenzie,
ID years old. ran away from his home in
Worcester. He was found yesterday in
this city and is now at the police station.

brothers and four sisters He thought his
father didn' t treat him as we'll as he did
the others, SO he left home. He went to
Boston and from there took the boat for
Portland. Arriving here he went to the
Friendly Inn and has worked there ever
since. He says another boy ran away at
the same time he did. This boy also
worked at the Friendly Inn but got
homesiok and went back to Worcester a
few days ago. He told the Mckenzie
family where their lost boy could be
found and they at once notified the police
to hold him here until they could come
for him.

The Searching at Pride,s Corner.

Up to date the seaorhing for the body
of Rose Dolley's baby at Fride's Corner
has occupied at least dozen whole days
and the labor of from twenty-five tc
thirty mon during chat time, and yet the
entire area of woods wherein the baby
may be concealed has not been thorough
ly searched.
Rose tramped through the woods for al
least mile, and the area searched oye1
is almost q square mile
1t is thought by the shsriffs that when
Rose left the wood road she did so in or.
der to leave the child. and that its body
must be somewhere near there. Thai
section has been searched over many
times If the body is there it is probably
in some hollow that has become filed
with water. and then frozen almost solid
during that cold week. Last Saturday
the sheriffs found many such hollows, in
which the ice was SO thick that they
could not break it with blows from the
stout sticks they carried.

THE WATCHER TOO LATE.
How Deputy Sheriff Plummer Captured
Igo.

Yesterday noon Deputy Sheriff Plum
mer was riding up Centre street in q
wagon. He was standing up behind
three men, who sat on front seat.
The watchers were all on duty at the
doors of the rum shops, and were exer
cisiag due vigilance. This particular
watcher at this particular shop saw and
recognized Plummer in the wagon just as
he got opposite the shop. The fellow
dashed into the shop, but Plummer leaped
from the wagon and was close at his
heels.
The bartender started to run from be-
hind the counter, but the Sheriff met
him with a sprinkler Of beer in his hand,
just as he came round the end of the
counter
The bartender pronounced the name of
the Deity with much emphasis and ap-
parantly with some Interrogation, for the
Sheriff replied "No. it's Plumner. ("
The man gave his name as Igo and will
appear before Judge Robinson tomorrow
morning.
This little incident illustrates that
sometimes even watcher at the door is
not adequate protection for rumseller.
1t also illustrates the extreme difficulty
of getting case against rumseller by
capturing him in the act of selling.
