kENTFIeLD ARRESTED lNLEwlsToN.
Man Wanted in This City for Stealing a
$50 Check.

In response to request from the Port
land police department, Deputy Marshal
sands OF Lewiston arrested in Auburn
yesterday afternoon, William Kentheld,
who is wanted in this city for stealing a
check for $50 from Mr.. Leonard W..
Thompson, bicycle dealer, doing business
at 65l Congress street this city. The
rest and yesterday afternoon Deputy Mar
shall Sterling sent Officer Pickett to that
city, who identified the man as the one
wanted, and brought him here on the
Pullman this morning.
Kentfeld was employed by Thompson,
and Thursday noon, when he was out OF
his place of business opened letter adj
dressed the proprietor, and which con-
tanned q check for $50, which had been
sent him by his mother. The check was
drawn in favor Of Mrs. E. V. B. Gibson

pany of New York, signed by the

treasurer Mrs. Gibson had Of course
endorsed it and it was negotiable. Kent.
field took the paper to Goudy & Kent S
office and called for a salesman of Mr..
Goudy's to whom he owed some money.
He preferred the check in payment but
the salesman was unable to cash it and
asked Mr.. Goudy to do SO for him. The
latter saw that it was all right and to ac-
commodate his salesman gave him the
money which it called for. 1t is supposed
that Kentfield then went to Saoo where
he hired team of A. J. Carl, a livery
stable keeper The man did not return
with the team when he should have done
SO, and the Portland police were notified.
From the description given of him it was
supposed that the man who hired the
team was the same as the one who had
stolen the check. 1t was thought that he
had gone in the direction of Lewiston
and the police of that city were notified
to look out for him and the team. Friday
afternoon the team was located in stable
on Main street and Sunday Officer Sands
picked up his man on the streets of Au-
burn. Where he had been STOPPING in that
city it was not known, and the man last
night refused to say. At first he denied
that he was Kentfeld at all, but finally
he asked what he was wanted for and
when told, said that he guessed that he
was the man. He first gave his name as
William Greedy. He gave his age as
forty-four, but looks to be much younger.
He is well dressed and parts his hair in
the middle. He said that he had not been
around Portland much for seventeen
years until very lately. 1t is said that he
was very gay in the Lewiston police
station last night and entertained the
half dozen or more plain drunks which
the police officers had harvested, by sing
ing Take back you gold" and kindred
songs to them.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
