amount of 81. The respondent admits
a debt of $3.50. Judge Larrabee re-
served his decision. till Monday.
In the case of II. A. Drake VS.

Burton Dunton of South Gardiner
was taken to the insane hospital al
Augusta, Monday, afternoon. by City
Marshal Drake. Dunton first showed
signs of insanity, about two weeks ago
and gradually grew worse until his
parents became alarmed at his condi-
ton. He believed that everybody had
formed combine to do him injury.
Since January LIST City Marshal Drake
has received circulars giving the de-
scriptionS of criminals of which the
total amount of the rewards for cap
ture is 5000. 1t is Interesting to note
that very few of these have been CAP
tured.
In the past two months he has been
| notified of seven stolen horses. This
large number is accountable for the
fact that the number of tramps is IN
the increase. The book of the marshal
shows that in September, '97. only IS

diner police station while, last Septem-
Der. there were &c.
Six bicycles have been stolen, this
season. but none We're stolen in Gar
diner that have not been recovered.
Further than that, Mr.. Drake has re-
turned several stolen in other cities to
their rightful owners.

business. this year, than for many
years past.

Coach Dixon Begins His Work With the Colby
Foot Ball Men.

Byron W. Dixon Colby's new coach, ar
rived In this city, yesterday afternoon
and at once began work on the Colby
football team. Coach Dixon is a young
man of decidedly athletic build, and
those who have followed football matters
for the past two or three years remember
well the name that Mr.. Dixon has made
for himself as end on the UNIVERSITY Of
pennsylvania team. He comes very high
ly recommended. and from the manner N
which he worked on the men. yesterday
afternoon. there is but slight question
but that he is worthy of all the recon-
mendations he received.
He allowed the men to work on the field
several minutes before he said a word.
and then began to give the men sharp
but sound counsel on the manner of play
Ing. never falling to call up the men who
had made the slightest mistake in their
playing.
He had been at work on the men but a
very short time before he changed the
style of the playing on the part of the
ends, drawing them in nearer the tackles.
instead of letting the men follow the
Harvard style to Which they are aceus-
toned.
The first half-hour was devoted wholly
to defensive work, the ball remaining in

On the Gridiron.

The High school football team are put
ting in some hard practice on the Knick-
erbocker gridiron, and when they line up
against their next opponents they will be
in fine condition. An effort is being made
to bring out a second eleven, so that it
can daily give the regular team the need
ed practice.
In the game with Cony the weak points
were discovered and so well are they be-
ing remedied that the Gardiner football
enthusiasts believe their team can defeat
Cony on the Knickerbocker field. They
hope that such a game can be arranged
in the near future.
The Gardiner team has received chal-
lenges from lewiston High school. Free
port High school and Oak Grove Semi
nary. They have accepted the latter and
the game will be played within a few
days. 1t is thought that games with
Lewiston and Freeport will also be ar
ranged.
The principal changes in the lineup of
the Gardiner team will probably be
Munro at quarterback, Babb at halfback
and Haley at right end. 1t is also
thought that Hunt will be placed behind
the line and Pitcher substituted at
tackle.

TO Skowhegan by Deputy Sheriff Mutt.
The facts leading up to the arrest are as
follows: Saturday night, ]. F. Kenrick
arose at about midnight to meet his
daughter who was returning on the
O'Clock Pullman from the musical fes-
tival at Bangor. Before starring for Ben
ton he vert down cellar to fix the fires
and, while thus engaged. he heard some
one moving about up stairs. Going up
to investigate, he found a stranger in the
house. who would not or could not give
any reason for being there. Mr.. Kenrick
called to his son Walter and the intru~er
escaped. Mr.. Kenrick did not recognize
Williams at the time, but was able TO get
a fairly good description of him. After
bringing his daughter home Mr. Kenrick
drove about the streets, early Sunday
morning, in hopes of finding his man. He
met Williams, and as he corresponded
with his description, he notified Officer
Mutt. who got out a warrant and arrest
ed him. Williams pleaded guilty to the
larceny of the lady's cloak and two pairs
of gloves, which Mr.. kenrick had lost.
but not guilty to the charge of breaking
and entering. Williams claims that he
was drunk and cannot remember any,
thing he did. When he awoke Sunday
morning, he was in the house of John
Louis, about a mile up Main street. He
Immediately came down town and left the
cloak and gloves in a livery stable. He
was then arrested and told what he had
been doing during the night. How he got
into Mr.. Kenrick's, how he got out and
up to Louis and got in there and to bed,
he claims is all a blank
