TWO MORE BURGLARlES.
Ten Dollars Stolen From Stephen Thurston's
on Capitol Street.-The Clues.

Two mere robberies have come to
light. One of these was on Capitol
street, in the house of Stephen Thurs
ton. few doors from the house of
William Dickson, which was broken
into. Thursday night. 1t seems that
this robbery was not discovered until
Thurston missed a pocket book con-
tanning about $40. The pocketbook,
minus the money, was later found in
the woodshed, where it is presumed
the thief left it. Being SO near the
house occupied by Mr.. Dickson, it is
also presumed that the robbery oc
CURED on that same night.
The other robbery was confined to
milk and eatables in the house of E. E..
Gage. Nothing else was missed. and it
is thought that the men must have
been frightened away before they got
down to business.
No clues have been found as to the
robbers. In most of the cases, tracks
have been discovered in the mud of a
man who wore new rubbers. Conse-
quently the police have kept a sharp
lookout for shady looking customers,
with rubbers on.
Marshall Morse discovered the tracks
of two men leading from Hallowell, up
along near the railroad track behind
Cony & Whites ice house, where it is
evident the men looked in, and equally
evident they found no money. The
tracks were later lost in the grass.
Four men were hauled in on sus-
picion, Saturday. Two proved to belong
in this city. The other two were a bad
looking pair, aged respectively. l6 and
Il years. They said they had no
money, were hungry, and tired, having
slept out. the previous nights. They
said it was cold business They claimed
to be looking for work, and not for
trouble. They We're sent away to Wa
terville, where they said they belonged.

shot by Lun Pearson on Friday night. Iies

he will survive the day.
Pearson, who Is under arrest will claim
that the shooting was done in seIf-dcfense.
Pearson is alleged to have said that he
warned Ford To keep away from the house
and when Ford appeared on the scene
Friday night he thought he was there to do
him bodily harm, and that he protected
himself.
The parents OF the young man seem to
take tile situation phiiosophically and at
no time have they been heard to lay the
blame on Pearson. Mr.. Ford his wife, and
Mrs Harry Bradley. Fords sister, all
Claim that the whole blame Of the case
rests upon Mrs. Cooper, whom they say,
enticed Johnnie away. They assert that
Johnnie would have kept away from the
house had Mrs. Cooper let him alone. She
was continually sending him notes asking
him TO call at the house and to meet her
at various points in the neighborhood.
All this was known to the relatives of
these notes, which he received from Mrs.
Cooper Mrs. Bradley, especially was earn
est in her endeavors to have him keep away
from the woman, and tried to get him to
stay at home on Friday afternoon, when
he went out for the purpose of meeting her.
Harry Bradley, too, had tried to get young
Ford to keep away from his sister, and
had even threatened him with injury if he
did not take heed to his request.
No signs of Mrs. Cooper have been dis
covered. She was not in the house when the
shooting occurred, and has not been seen
by any one about the place since. The
lieutenant OF police OF the Seventh precinc.
said he didn't want the woman, as she was
not present when the shooting took place,
and little if any further information could
be secured from her even il She was in
custody.
