We are in receipt of letter from Mr.. A.
S. Daniels of this town stating that
two young men have been through several
towns in this county collecting pic
lures to enlarge, charging from fifty cents
to one dollar per picture, but the people
have not receievd their pictures back. The
men claim to be working for the Electric
| Manufacturing Co. of Bangor, Maine. Mr..
Daniels wrote the chief of police in that
city regarding the company and received
word that as far the officer knew there
was no such company there and that the
whole thing was very likely fraud. 1t
appears from this that the people should
be on the watch for these parties and give
them taste of the law. Ed.
