locate her parents. In the meantime EN-.

the Esmeralda vineyard. east of town, in
the home of the superintendent. George
Goemhimer. The woman was faithful
servant, but began to pine to return to her
parents.
To-day while Goemhimer was at church
with his family Miss Jensen decamped.
When the superintendent returned home
he first found the woman's hair, which
had been somewhat irregularly cut, lying
on the floor. Upon further investigation

his clothing were gone, besides pair OF
blankets. 1t is supposed that the woman
has set out again to make her way to
Texas, in order to return to her parents.

PORGY FISHERMEN.
Two More Captains Must Appear Be-
fore the Supreme Court,

Capt. "Dan" Mason, of the steamer
Joseph Church" and Capt. R. E. Mason,
OF the George Curtis", the two Round
Pond captains who were accused Of
taking porgies illegally with seines in
Bluehil bay, were arraigned before
Judge Peters in the Ellsworth municipal
court Monday. The captains came to
Ellsworth in their steamers, accompa-
MED by Deputy Sheriff James Z. Multi
gan. They arrived in the bay Sunday,
and Officer Mulligan turned the men
over to Sheriff Hooper Monday morning.
The captains were arraigned in court
Monday morning, and pleaded not guilty.
Trial was set for the afternoon Judge
l.. l.. Chase conducted the prosecution
and ". IL. Hilton, of Damariscotta, ap-
peared for the respondents. The cases
were substantially the same as that
against Capt. Gray of the "5eaconnet",
who Was tried last week, but the counsel
for respondents raised point of law that
the count on which the prosecution
elected to try the cases, was not specific
enough in stating the place at which the
crime wss alleged to have been com
mItted.
The first case put on trial was that OF
Capt. "Dan" Mason, but before the de-
cision of the court, counsel agreed to let
both cases abide by decision in the first.
The evidence presented was very similar
to that at the trial of Capt. Gray. The
prosecution had over twenty witnesses.
The court found probable cause to hold
the respondents for the supreme court,
and Capts. Dan and r. L. Mason
furnished $500 bonds each to appear at
the October term.
