STORY DOESN'T FIT.
Robbery and Murder Which Is Not Re-
nembered in This Section.

A Toronto, Canada, paper is author
ity for the story that the boy who is
accused of the murder of a companion
in company with the one killed and an
other made raid through Maine and
that they broke into a place here in
Waterville and carried off something
like $500 worth of jewelry. According
to the story they were pursued by the
officers and We're obliged to hide the
plumber near a bridge which they
crossed. When they returned for it
they could not find it and the boy who
was murdered was accused of stealing
it again for his own special benefit.
Now there has been no break in this
vicinity recently. or at least if there
has the police have not been notified.
City Marshal Harrington knows moth
ing about the case or anything about
three BOYS being pursued by any of his
men. That there has been no break
here is certain.
But here's peculiar phase of the af-
fair. According to the story told by
Fairfield man. the other day. something
like three weeks ago or about the time
the rear of the Kennebec drive passed
through here. a queer lot of stuff was
1OunQ lnClOSed 1T bags III the river just
above the Maine Central bridge on the
Winslow side. According to the story
q pitchfork was sticking in the bag so
that the handle extended above the
water and was in this way discovered.
There was queer collection of stuff in
the bag mostly rubbish, but including
a couple of dinner pals in which We're
alarm clocks. The pals had kept the
water from the clocks and they We're
not badly damaged The whole thing
made n peculiar outfit and caused
much conjecture at the time, although
the news of the find was not very wide
spread. The story in the Toronto pa
per has brought the incident to the
minds of those who knew of it and they
wonder if there is any connection.
1t is pretty certain that the stuff did
not come from Waterville, but some
think that it might have been taken by
the boys in some other place and that
in passing through the city they might
have thought that the police had dis
covered them and hid the stuff at the
end of the bridge, where it was found
before they could return after it. The
fact that the Toronto paper says that
the BOYS hid the stuff at the end of
bridge and that it consisted of jewelry
causes some to think that the stuff
found might have been what was hid
den by them But after all the connec-
ton is rather slim and the Fairfield
find is not very clearly explained.

New City Hall Opening.

The opening of the new City hall
under the auspices of the Waterville
Military Band, last evening, was an
unqualified success. When the curtain
went up at $50 there We're very few
vacant seats and the most of these
the less expensive ones. \ special
train on the narrow guage and special
cars from Fairfield brought a large
crowd. Music was furnished by Halls
orchestra and was very fine, the or
chestra being enlarged by players from
away.
The play Are You a Mason" made
great hit. The leading parts We're
very finely done and the support was
excellent. Everything went smoothly
and it was almost a steady laugh from
curtain to curtain. The band will
doubtless clear a neat profit ON the
opening.

SMALLPOX IN WINSLOW.
Family Recently Arrived from Canada
Under Strict Quarantine.

Winslow has a case of mild small
pox. The disease has appeared in the
family of Louis Baldic. who lives on
the Sand Hill. and was promptly dis
covered and handled. The house
where the family lives has been
strictly quarantined and the case is
in charge Of DR.. ]. G. Town Of Wa
terville, who is health officer for
Winslow. The patients are not very
sick and are able to be up about the
house. 1t is believed that the disease
can be confined to the one house with
out trouble and there is little fear OF
any spread. All necessary precautions
have been taken and the situation is
well in hand.
The family came to Waterville n
short time ago from Canada and it is
thought brought the disease with them
1t is not known how many have beer
exposed but nothing like an extended
spread of the disease is feared.

There will be an excursion to Seguin-

foreign to be sure. but ii is not very
far from Waterville and is section
of Maine located in Georgetown that
is being developed by a company made
up principally of Waterville men. The
excursion will be run down over the
narrow guage road. the train leaving
the Winslow station at $50 in the
morning. All the hacks will be out to
carry the people over. 1t is expected
that a large number of the business
men of the city will go down. n clam
bake of the old-fashioned sort is to
be furnished by Walter Reid and a
great day is being anticipated.
