NOT A CLUE.
Irving Mitchell Of Augusta,
Still Among the Missing.
Not Seen or Heard from Since the
Night Of July Fourth.
Ad"ah J. Mitchell Searching Tor Any Possible
Clue to Mystsv.
NOT A CLUE.

Not the slightest clue as to the
Whereabouts of the missing Irving
Mitchell, son of Adnah j. Mitchell of
TINS city, has been found. although the
anxious father has been searching high
and low and sending telephone and
Geographic messages to every posi-
bic place where he thought his son
might be.
irving was not young man to 20
away without letting the family know
where he was going, his father says.
At first it was thought he might have
gone to some relatives at Boston but
communication there showed that he
had not been seen. His grandmother
lives in the town Of Freedom, but he
has not gone there. In fact he Is not
anywhere it would seem most natural
for him to go if leaving home OF his
own accord.
AS far as is known the missing man
did not hire horse or a bicycle in the
city. Different stories are told, but II
seems that the last that was seen OF
irving Mitchell in this city. was be-
tween 1l.3O and 1l.45 on the night of
July 4. when he was seen turning the
corner of Bridge street. by John
Coughlin's drug store. headed for the
East side
|. Farmers are offering big wages for
hay makers now and 1t might be a
temptation for a young man like
Mitchell to strike off for position but
it was not like him to do so without
first informing his relatives and
friends.
Of course there are fears that some
accident may have happened to the
young man but what ii could have
been cannot be imagined. An air of
the greatest mystery surrounds the
whole case. A young man seen on the
corner of Bridge and Water streets. at
11.30 at night. disappears as completely
as though the earth had swallowed
him UP. leaving not the slightest clue
behind
His father cannot imagine the least
reason for the sons leaving home of
his own free will. He seemed happy
that night. coming into town from the
farm of T.. J. Phibrick of North Au-
EuSta, where he was at work,
waiting at the corner of Bridge
street. until almost o'clock for
car. and enjoying himself with n
number of friends. some OF whom were
young ladies.
One story has it that Mitchell came
from Togus. that night, on the II
o'clock car: that he left his friends on
Water street. saying he would be back
in a minute. and turned to go over the
bridge. He was not again seen.
The son of officer White. whom
Mitchell asked for a ride out towards
North Augusta. says he acted as
though he really meant to go out to the
Philbrick farm that night. and cannot
imagine the cause of his disappear
ance. The father is looking for a clue,
hut thus far. in. vain. OF course he ia
filled with apprehensiOns and will hail
with relief anything that can tend TO
solve the mystery of the disappear
ance of his son.

A STOLEN wNcM
Causes More Or less Trouble ios william
Gilbert and May Cause More.

gus. reported to the police. last even
ing. that his watch had been stolen
from him. He described it as gold
Waltham watch. Search was made by
the officers for young man by the
name Of William Gilbert. who from the
circumstances was thought to be the
guilty party.
Gilbert was found by Officer Frank
T. Chase near the kennebec House
on the East side. trying to sell a watch
answering the description given to Al
bert V. French and William A.
Rhoades. Gilbert represented to the
police at that time that he had pur-
chased the watch in Bangor
He was taken to the police
station and locked up. Later he ad-
mitted that the watch belongs to Da
venport. but said that Davenport had
given it to him with request u sell
1t. which he was endeavoring to do
when taken by the officer. Davenport
later reported the loss Of his pocket
book with a small amount OF money
and his knife.
The watch was lost at the depot.
Aleck Parquettc stated to the police
that he saw Davenport and Gilbert
standing together at that place and
that Gilbert was holding the watch.

mans stable.

ing but will return, this morning, and

STATE HOUSE. -
interesting Developments In
the Green Lake Fishing Case.
Insurance Companies Which Have
Discontinued Business In the State.
&.
Personal And Olher Nows Of tbs State House
Departments. 49,

Monday evenings Bangor Com
mercial says: Interesting develop
mcnts have occurred recently in the
Green Lake fishing case but accord
ing to the present Indications these
developments have not changed the
former condition of affairs. Some time
since. 1t win be remembered, Edward
J. Hunt and NJ. II. Rideout. both of
this city. were orraigned before Judge
Bailey in the municipal court charged
with having violated the fish and game
Jaws in fishing at Green Lake on
April 81. the ice not then being out Of
that body of water.
h Messrs. Hunt and Rideout pleaded
not guilty to the charge. as they
claimed that a sufficient amount of ice
had left the lake to make fiA5ing en-
atirely legal. They did not deny that
they had been fishing there on the day
alleged or that they had caught fish.
Judge T. w. VCse appeared for the
State and the hearing and +. J. Mar
tin. Esq. for the respondents. They
were found guilty and sentenced to
pay fine of $40 each and 81 extra for
every fish which they had caught
They were also sentenced to pay the
costs which amounted to $32.31. The
case was at once appealed and is in
order for trial at the August term of
the supreme court. No moral turpi-
tude is involved in the matter and
Messrs. Hunt and Rideout simply de-
sire the supreme court to place a con-
struction on the law.
Within a short time Chairman L. T.
- Iaso o. h. G~t,
mission has received a telegram from
Messrs. Hunt and Rideout in which
they stated that they did not wish to
test the Green Lake fish law alone.
The despatch gave the names of IL
well known Bangor men who the two
respondents said had fshed at the
same time and under the same condi-
lions as themselves. The message
was closed with the words. I'VE
make this as a complaint" and was
signed by Messrs. Hunt and Ride
out.
Upon receiving this message. Chair
man Carleton at once wrote to the IL
men whose names had been given him.
He explained the situation, enclosed a
copy of the telegram. and expressed
the hope that all of the cases could be
settled without legal proceedings. The
ordinary fine. he said. was $40. 1t was
most gentlemanly letter and one
which does Chairman Carleton great
credit.
Chairman Carleton was in Bangor
Sunday and during his visit he was
seen by one of the men whose names
had been sent him. 1t was explained
that at least several out of the IL. had
fshod without the knowledge that
they were violating the law and that
as soon as they were Informed of the
fact they at once ceased angling. None
of them caught any fish and in view
of these facts it is likely that the
cases against them will be dropped
According to present Indications the
Hunt Rideout case will be argued be-
fore jury.
