THREE YOUNG HlGHWAYMEN.
Augustus DUDE OF Benton Falls. Held Up-Jai
Now Holds the Robbers.

Last Thursday evening. Augustus Dubc
German, living at Benton Falls. was pro-
cecding h0mcward when he was spoken to
by one of three men who were coming up
behind him and who requested DUDE to
wait Il minute. When the three approached
him one of them asked for 10 cents and
Dnbe, a. he says. thought he would give the
10 cents rather than have trouble with the
meu. He produced the dime but the man
raised the ante demanding quarter At
this time DUDE realized he was in the hands
Of hghwaymen. for two of them went
through him while one covered him with Il
revolver. They succeeded in relieving
DUDE of a watch and chain of the value of
$40. and 81 in good money of the realm
and then they flew down the road.
DUDE reported the matter to Deputy
Sheriff John Withce, Friday morning, and
the officer went to work on
the case. He traced the men to Waterville
where he found that they had disposed of
the watch to Albion McClintock. From
this point Mr.. Withec followed the men
wanted to Nassalboro, where he found
them playing cards in an old shop. They
were all young and the officer gave them to
understand that they would have to come
along one way or the other. and SO they de-
cided to come along peaceably.
Saturday afternoon, the three were ar
raigned before Judge Philbrook of the
Watervile police court, and answered to
the following names: Harry Wilbur of
Benton, aged -, John Watson. Lawrence,
Mass, aged 20, Elmer Crowell, Vassal-
boro, aged Is. Each plead guilty to assault
assault and robbery, and were held in the
the sum of $500 to await the action of the
grand jury. They were committed to
Augusta Jail that afternoon, being taken to
that institution by Deputy Sheriff Withee.
