Bangor, June 25.-(SpeciaD.--I is said
that, tomorrow, an attempt will be

charged with having used Some $2ioo
belonging to Mrs. Rose a. Peters of
Henderson, which she had given TO him
10 place in the Kineo Bank for her.
Extradition papers were granted on the
Governor of Florida, but jackson was
found in Georgia and came back with
out any papers being secured, He was
arraignsd before Judge Durgin ana
held for the action of the grand jury
in September.
A few weeks ago he again got into n
and was convicted of a technical as
sault and placed under $50 bonds for
appearance in September, and under
500 bonds to keep the peace. He
failed to secure bonds and was com
mitted to Jail to await trial.
He has made vague threats right
along since he went back to Dover, say
ing that after September there would
be some fun. In fact, he made so much
talk about County Attorney Hayes that
he was afraid for his life. Since he has
been in jail ii is rumored that he has
said when he got out and back TO Fox

siderable money uselessly, and she has
had to go to the expense of having. it
all plowed over and seeded down. He
also started a small shanty which she
has had finished ANA securely locked
up.
His friends and relatives think ii
best that he be sent to Augusta, as
there isn't the slightest doubt that he
is insane on some points.
