The authorities of Brunswick have
assisted in the solution of one of the
strangest mysteries that has puzzled any
one in this state in long time. A few
days since a strange man appealed to the
police of Brunswick to assist him in
establishing his identity, stating that he
had no recollection of anything further
back than two weeks ago when he found
himself in Rockland. He was after a
while, by the help of Boston papers,
identified as Charles E. Buzzell, we'll
to-do dairyman of Darlington, N. H. He
left his home May 8 with load of
produce for market. When he reached
his destination he left his horse at
livery stable and disappeared. He has
no recollection of that day or the days
that preceded it. The only thing that he
remembers is that one day about two
weeks ago he felt severe pain in his
head and found himself in strange city.
He did not know his own name nor any
thing about himself. He learned he was
in ROckland and supposes he came there
on the Boston boat. From Rockland he
went to Bath, remaining few days in a
farm house near that place, and then
came to Brunswick. Here he told his
story to the police and asked them to
aid him in identifying himself. The
physicians say the trouble is congestion
of the brain due to over-wOrk, and that
he will in time fully recover and regain
his memory.

DOG SCARES ROBBERS
Barking of Canine Prevents
Burglary of the WasatCh
Drug Store.

The ferOcity Of a dog which is kept in
the store frightened away two bold bur
glars from the Wasatch Drug company
at Third East and Second South at mid
night last night, and prevented the place
from being robbed.
shortly after midnight W II. Woodring
the proprietor who sleeps in the place,
was awakened By the loud barking OF a
dog which also sleeps in the store. The
dog was al the front door and Wakened
all the neighbOrs by its noise. Rising at
once to learn the cause of the alarm,
Woodring saw two men running up the
street, and at once gave chase. Aiming
himself with a gun he rushed down 10
the door, but the men were a block away
By the time he reached the street. They
continued their journey north on Third
East and soon passed from view.
The burglars had filed the lock from
the front door and would have gained en-
trance but for the alarm which was given
by the dog. A jimmy was used and the
lock was pried from the door. The police
department was at once notified Of the
attempted burglary and given an excellent
description of the men. When asked as
to the reported burglary the police Off
GERS denied any knowledge of the affair.
The men are said 20 have loitered about
the streets the rest of the night.

w Mayer des PIanches, the italian
ambassador, was again at the
state and navy departments today to
consult the officials in regard to the
publication of the findings of the court
of inquiry, which investigated the af-
fairs I'D which officers from the cruiser

expressed his earnest regret to the am
bassadOU that the findings had been
made public and assured him that the
officials at Washington were in no way
Responsible for and did not approve

view that both governments should
make public the records of proceedings
In the case. Secretary Moody, how
ever, already has expressed his desire

in the balance,
The ambassador viii call at the state

he called today. Until then Signor
Mayer does not care to make any for

Mayec some days ago cabled his gov
eminent for all the official reports pos
si0le concerning the arrest, imprisOn-
ment and treatment of the officers.
They are now at hand. but the am
bassador declines to make them public
at present. However. it is understood
that from the station standpoint the
papers do not disclose the fact that the
Americans were treated harshly at anv
time after their arrest. but on the con-
trary, special privileges were accorded
them during their Imprisonment.
The ambassador cabled yesterday to
Rome, informing his government of the
