Robbing Togus Veteran.

Randolph Sept. 3.-(SpeciaD.- Dan
Judge Goodspeed, this morning, on q
charge of larceny Of Il pocket book
from Daniel r. Keaton, a veteran from
the National Home, Wednesday after
noon. Robinson pleaded not guilty
but evidence was introduced to war
rant the imposition of fine of $40 and
costs and 80 days in Jail. In default OF
payment an additional 80 days was
added to the sentence, and Robinson
was taken to Augusta, at noon.
Robinson was seen by Randolph
lady, Wednesday afternoon, acting
strangely in company with two mem
bers of the Home both of whom were
intoxicated. His suspicious behaviour
caused her to watch him, and after =
short time he was see to stOop, and
take something from the hip pocket OF
one of the men and transfer it to his
own, take the mans cane, and leave in
the direction of Gardiner.
She then notified Officer James, WHO
locked up the men and then started
after Robinson. He was found on the
Gardiner and Randolph bridge, and
also locked up. He gave the name OF
s. w. Edwards, and denied all knowl-
edge of the theft, but, this morning, he
was identified by a man who knew him,
and the cane was also recognized by
the owner.
Robinson was very much crestfallen
by his identity being established. He
is more or less known publicly as a
newspaper correspondent

A few days ago the pastor of the Beth
el church of Portland, returned from a
trip to the eastward where he had been
visiting the people. He reports an unus-
ual need of assistance, on account of con-
ditions beyond the power of the people to
change. The extreme wet and cool sea-
son has spoiled the crops especially the
potato. which is a prime item of living
along the coast. and the same condition
of wet has hindercd the drying of fish,
and the fishing was never poorer. There
will be much suffering the coming winter.
