WHERE ARE THE FERGUSON.
Their Creditors Claim That They Have
Left Them in the Lurch.

| 1t ls reported that two men named
Ferguson, father and son, have been
guilty of swindling several people for
several months past. The two men, 1t Ia
said, came to Portland last autumn and
took house corner franklin and Federal
streets. When their rent was demanded
they moved elsewhere, and followed out
the same plan, living at 1O7 Clark
street. They opened three upholstsring
stores in April. on Portland street, near
Green, over the Troy laundry on Preble
street, land on Spring street. They
bought goods on the insta1lment plan,
q horse from j. D. Herrick. harness
from Preble street dealer, and a 500
express wagon from Joseph Mann, and
a top buggy from Locke & York. They
bought farniturs, it Is said, from Hoop
or, Son & Leighton, giving their note
for the goods, and a lot of furnaces from
MIR. Bucknam of Kennebec street. 1t
is reported by their creditors that they
have let the CLARK street house since Fri
day and have net been located. It is
claimed that no rent has been paid On the
stores, nor tenments occupied by them.
These Fergusons figured last June in
matter brought before the police. The
force here was asked to look after a
young man from Bangor accused of
swindling parties there who would call
for box probably that was left at the
Union Station. The man who claimed
the same name and as he did not answer
the descriptions Of the man wanted and
people spoke so well Of him he was
released. He was the father of the man
wanted at Bangor and these are the
two men who played their little game
here.

A DEAD BODY.
Boys Saw One Floating Near the Channel
Off the Eastern Promenade.

Several days ago two boys were out
rowing off the Eastern Promenade, a
little distance from the main channel to
the Back Bay. 1t was about dark.
They saw in the water the dead body Of
a man. 1t was floating in the water, but
was SO badly deoomposed that they did
not dare to touch it. They left it and
came ashore. They told of the occurrence
to their friends, but did not report to
the Authorities. The boys new of the
reward which the law allows for the
finding of the bodies but the decom-
position was SO far advanced that the
reward did not tempt them to remain
near.
