RYAN OR REGAIN
Chap Caught Stealing Blank Checks
in a Bangor Bank
Thought that He is Party Wanted at Portland
and SomerswoTth.

Bangor Dec. IN. j. Ryan OF New
ork, was arrested here. this morning,
by Deputy Chief of Police Bowen on
the charge of stealing package OF
blank checks from the Second National
Bank of this city. When searched at
the police station, $611 in money. besides
several checks and personal notes We're
found on his person.
Among the checks was one from Rev.
Martyr Summerhell Of Lewiston fol
$50. This check has the appearance of
having been changed To read to pay to
the order of Mr.. j. Ryan instead of 4.
J. Reagan. This leads the police to
think that he is the man wanted in
Portland for passing bogus check on
Carter Bros. jewelers.. some days ago.
Ryan denies having been in Port
land, but papers found in his possession
would indicate that he has been in
Portland. Lewiston Augusta. Ellsworth.
Orono and Old Town. Among the notes
found was one given by an ex-mayor
of Old Town. This was payable To j.
H. Howard. This and several other
things leads to the belief that he has
, more liitii ii QoZtil dtlittiS tuclll
being j. Fl. Gordon.
On papers in his possession were
found list of all the priests in the
cathedral in Portland, the professors in
the Bangor Theological seminary and
one of the checks was from George w.
Gilman, professor in that institution.
Regain claimed that he was soliciting
orders for clothing. He was fined
$6.0S for the larceny and s54.59 for ped
ding without license. He paid and
was liberated.
