became learned in their favorite branches
of learning. and decided that it was their
turn to add something to the literature of

The first requirement for the expedition
was Il treasury and the second was an
arsenal. After $4.6T had been collected

REIGN OF TERROR
Ii Kennebec and Somerset Can be
Stopped Thinks Detective Mitchell.
Satisfied that No Knows The Parties that Are
Causing All The Trouble.

Skowhegan, Oct. 6-(SpeciaD.- State
Detective John II. Mitchell of this
place, has been at work on the West
Pittsfield case for several days, and is
about satisfied that he knows who the
parties are that have been terrorizing
that section OF the State laying he
tween the Kennebec river and the Sc
basticook stream. Suspicion points
strongly to two men and a woman, the
latter the wife of one of the men, all
of whom live in the town of Clinton
but who of late have been migrating
over the section of the county named.
One of the men is notorious as an out
law and caused much trouble five years
ago in the town of Clinton, for which
he served a term in the prison at
Thomaston.
Everything portable, from a chicken
to carriage, has been logged away
from the rightfulsow in northern
Kennehec and eastern Somerset coun-
ties of late. and besides there seems to

of the thieves. One farmer lost so hives
of bees that the miscreants could not
carry away, SO smashed thcm 10 pieces.

perience of the farming people in the
territory 1oraged by the thleVes, ana al

against those they suspect lest the evil

some difficulty in getting evidence. as
people who might give him clues are
backward about doing so, through fear
of further molestations by those whom
they actually believe are guilty.
Mr.. Mitchell is a very thorough ofii-
GER as we'll as fearless one. and if
he succeeds in securing the necessary
evidence he will get the parties wanted
or some one Will have occasion TO write
his obituary. The thieves are very
