Our correspondent writes: Dexter peo-
pie have been disturbed for some time by
man who has been seen looking into bed
room windows at unseemly hours, but
who managed to escape each time he was
discovered. Finally quite a scare was
caused and some time ago number of
citizens organized to watch for the mis-
creant. Early Thursday morning, a man
was seen apparently peering into the
window Of a house near one of the
watchers, and he went out and gave
chase finally capturing the man, who
was forcibly obliged to reveal his identity.
There was great surprise when IL vas
found that he was well-known citizen
who has held position under the town.
He has been discharged and If he leaves
town he will not be prosecuted. otherwise
action will probably be brought against
him.-Bangor Whig.
