BowDoIN GIRL WAS ABDUCTED.
Strange Sequel to Mysterious Disappear
ance of Myrtle Adams.

Bowduinham. October 26.-Deputy
Sheriff ID. d. Cornish of Bowdoinham
and Oscar Adams of Bowdoin, togethes
with pretty miss of IA years, an adopt
ed daughter of Mr.. Adams, arrived home
Sunday night on the Pullman.
The adopted daughter, Myrtle e.
Adams, tells most pitiful tale of an
outrageous crime perpetrated upon her
by one Charles Fl. Bickford. Mr.. Adams
is farmer, and from time to time has
employed the services of Charles II.
Bickford to assist him about his place
and thus he met and got upon speaking
terms with the adopted daughter.
A week ago last Friday, October !,
Myrtle Adams claims that while she
was at her home alone. Bickford came to
the place and foroibiy abducted her.
taking her in team first to North Sid
ney, where stop of "a hours was made;
then to Oakland, to North Fairfield,
Skowbegan, Norrldgewock, back to Show
hogan, and finally once more to Nor
ridgewook, where they went to the home
of one Joseph Otis. claiming to be a
cousin of Biokford.
Meanwhile the girls father had been
using every effort to trace his daughter,
learning that she had been abducted by
Bickford. At last Sheriff Cornish OBJ
tanned clues which were followed up un-
til the pair were located at the aforesaid
homo Of Joseph Otis.
Btckford must have learned in some
way that officers were on his track for
he was not to be found in or about the
place.
The girl claims that she was most
shamefully used while under the infiu-
ence of Bickford. having insuficient
food and travelling at all hours of the
day and night Bickford, she further
claimed, had obtained a suit of boys
clothes, which he compelled her to attire
herself in when passing through the
larger places to avoid suspicion and
if possible cover up their trail.
The girl who, under ordinary circum-
stances, would be beautiful little
blond, looked thin and oareworn. Notices
will be sent throughout the state giving
description of Biokford, who is a man
OF swarthy complexion, dark hair, carry
ing himself somewhat like an Indian,
standing five fest nine. weighing 100
pounds and is 35 years of age.
When leaving Bowdoin he was smooth
shayen.

Postmaster and Pennies.

There is a postmaster in little town
who is noted for the amount of author
ity he is inclined to display in trivial
matters. A short time ago business
man OF the place appeared before the
stamp window of the office and de-
manded 300 l cent stamps, for which
he laid down an equal number of PEN
MES. Here was good chance for the
authoritative gentleman, and with a
view of teaching his Importance he
picked % pennies from the heap, handed
out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the
money to the would be buyer with the
remark that pennies were not legal
tender there in amounts of more than
rs cents.
Expostulation was in vain. The post
master cited the law in the case, and
that seemed to settle it. With a mali
cious CLEAN in his eye the buyer swept
the remaining pennies into his pocket
and mildly inquired, ~ suppose can
get 1 cent stamp here for penny,
can't I:' Certainly, said the man at
the window. ''Then give me 1 cent
stamp said the other, laying down
the money. 1t was handed to him, and
he demanded another and another after
that. Several people had come in in the
meantime and were impatiently wait
ing their turn at the window, but the
obdurate buyer kept on gravely buying
l cent stamps on the installment plan.
Seeing determination in the face of the
other, the postmaster offered to arbi-
trate, but it was Of no avail. He con-
tinued to buy as long as his money last
ed and triumphantly departed amid the
approving smiles of the crowd. Mount
