Who is Charles Clarke of Lewiston.
and is he missing? This is the question
that Deputy Marshal Sands of Lewis
ton, has been trying to solve for several
days. Mr.. George Page of Lewiston,
received the following letter from
friend in Portland, the 30th, and turned
it over to the deputy marshal: Port
land, Me, Oct. so, 1897. Friend George:
| came across piece of board which
evidently drifted across at Peakes Is
land, and on it was written Charles
Clarke. Lewiston, Maine. Lost Apr. Z.
81 There is some other writing which
would indicate he was wrecked. 1t may
be a fake-thought 1 would ask if you
lad heard of such party as missing
y hope you are well and enjoying life
Your friend. Skillings" Mr. Sands
says that a few weeks ago some one
asked him if he had heard anything
about a missing Charles Clarke, but he
did not take the name of the person
who inquired. and so did not remember
it. Several Charles ClarlSes of Lewis
ton, have been hunted up by the re-
porter. and are not lost. Who is the
missing one?-Lewiston Journal.
About 2 o'clock. Tuesday morning.
the people in the vicinity Of Monument
Square We're startled by the sound of
pistol shots which apparently came
from the vicinity of Free street. Pat
rolmen Madden, Record, Pillsbury and
Ed. Smith We're standing near the head
of Preble street and they al once start
ed to investigate the matter. Patrol
men Smith and Pillsbury ran down
Central street while Patrolmen Mad
den and Record proceeded down Middle
street and up Free street They then
made thorough search of the neigh
borhood but could not find any sus-
picious parties. A man who resides on
Free street said that on hearing tE4
pistol shots he got up and looked out
of the window and saw man and wo-
man running towards Center street.
Harry Chisholm, she clerk at the
SchloteTbeck's drug store, heard the
shots and went to the door. A few
moments later he says that man and
woman came running through Brown
StiSCl tui liSu up SoLSicsSS SlItci
The woman was about 30 feet in ad-
vance of the man. but the latter did
not appear to be especially anxious to
overtake her. The police have been
unable to find any clues which would
lead to the identity of the parties and
the matter win probably blow over.
If the man attempted to shoot the wo-
man ne evidently got discouraged AT
his poor craftsmanship and decided
to POSTPONE the affair until he had
time to indulge in a little target prac-
tice. If his object was merely to create
excitement, he succeeded admirably,
but had he been captured. 1T would
have proven rather costly amusement. 1
