CHICKEN THIEVES.
Make Several Successful Hauls
Last Week.

Chicken thieves made a number
of raids in the Third ward last
week. Among the victims were
Mr.. E. B. Long, Mr.. NJ. d. Boales
and Prof. c. H. Dietrich. At Prof.
Dietrfch's two raids were made
during the week. The last was
early Saturday evening, be-
fore the hour for locking up the
hen shouse, about eight o'clock.
This raid was complete as every
fowl on the place was taken. 1t
was discovered soon afterwards
and Mrs. Dietrich made an effort
to secure blood-hounds, but one of
the hounds was out of condition and
the other would not trail alone.
Shotgurs and bloodhounds are both
good remedies for this evil, if prop
erly made use of.

To send thee for a valentine.

The velvet roses all too red,
The bright chrysanthemums were pale
Beside the gold that crowns thy head.

This heliotrope before her feet;
Born of Il maiden's parting sigh,
No flower on earth is half SO sweet.
Twill tell to her tender tale
Ol that old garucn where it grew,
And where a lover softly sang
y ballad in the silver dew
Alas! the night was bitter cold:
The SHOWS We're thick along the way,
And when l reached thy cottage door
The flower was but a blackened spray
But you will find it's message sweet

Oh. take it from my loving heart,
And let 1t be thy valentine,

GAS ENGINE ExPLODEs.
Postmaster at Princeton Depot is Badly
Cut and Burned.

Princeton Depot, June 22-Gilbert A.
Bigelow of Princeton was severely in
jured by the explosion of a gas engine
in his grain house near the depot this
morning, about 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Bigelow had started the engine
to use in unloading grain from some
cars, and was running it under 125 lbs.
pressure. He had occasion to reduce the
speed for a few minutes, and in doing
so, one burner went out. Mr.. Bigelow
stopped over to light it, and the gas
had escaped in such large quantity
that the application of a match to the
burner caused a terrific explosion,
throwing Mr. BigeloW t5 feet back on
a pile of grain bags.
Albert Bigelow, a brother of Mr..
Bigelow, was loading lumber on a car
when the explosion took place, and he
rushed to the mill, finding his brother
unconscious and badly injured. His
face was severely cut, and he had two
ugly gashes on the side of his head,
while his arms were badly burned. DR..
Parker from Princeton Centre was
called to attend Mr.. Bigelow, and lie
said that although Mr.. Bigelow was
badly hurt, he thought he would re-
cover. The explosion made large holes
in both ends of the mill. Mr.. Bigelow
had used the engine for a long tiae
and had had no trouble with 1t be-

A Woman Dies in
Leominster Police
Station.
NO CLEW TO HER IDENTITY.
First Seen in the Street
Early Yesterday Morning
Apparently Very Ill.

Leominster, June 22.-Leominster has
a case of a mysterious death to solve,
that may prove as difficult as the Clin-
ton discovery, but happily not attend
ed by any of the horrors attached to
that one.
About 4SO this morning George L.
Sweet, who was returning from a sick
friends house, where he had remained
during the night, discovered a woman
standing at the corner of West and
Pond streets, apparently in sick con-
dition.
He hurried to the police station and
secured an officer and Immediately re-
turned to the spot The woman was
then lying on the ground in dead
faint, having fallen during Mr.. Smiths
absence.
A team was procured Dr. A. H.
Pierce summoned, and the unknown
taken to the police station, where all
medical skill proved unavailing, death
claiming its victim at 645 a. m.
The body was viewed by large num-
Der, in hopes of identification, but none
who came had ever seen her before.
The woman was about 60 years old,
5 feet inches tall, weight $50 pounds.
She had thin gray hair; was neatly
dressed in plain black gingham. Her
stockings were of a gray mixed woolen,
and she wore thick soled shoes She
carried a small handbag containing
three handkerchiefs, two cotton and a
bandanna; Il pocket contained purse
with a small amount of money in it.
There was also 81 bill tied up in a
handkerchief
There were no papers on the body
or any marks on the clothing by which
a clue to her identity might be OBJ
tanned. Medical Examiner Thompson
of Fitchburg viewed the body. Death
was probably due to apopleXy.
