JOS. BoUTIN, JR., WANTED
On Suspicion of Lewiston Burglary
About $500 in Cash Recovered.

Lewiston, Me-, July ia warrant
police against Joseph Boutin, Jr., of
this city, who it is alleged is impli-
Gated in the robbery of the safe at
Hannaford & Kimball Cos. commits
sion house, late Friday night or early
Saturday morning. Boutin had been
employed by the company six weeks
as a driver and clerk. Yesterday morn
ing, he telephoned Mr.. Kimball that he
was going away and would be unable
to work for a few days.
No suspicious were aroused until Mr.
kimball in q chance remark to the po-
lice stated that BOutin telephoned him
he was to leave town. City Marshal
Wing and Inspector Leader interviewed
! Boutin, who told good story and said
| a musical contest Boutin has been
| known as Prof. Joseph w. Willard,
| violinist. He departed on the noon
train for the Hub.
This evening, the police visited Bou-
| tins house and learned that recently
| his little sister saw him count out a
large sum of money. The house was
searched and safe found, which was
| purchased by Boutin from Lewiston
barber, Saturday, after the burglary.
| The safe was taken to the police sta
| ton, opened and $400 in money found,
/ a box of cigars and discriminating let
| tiers. The box of cigars was identified
| by Mr.. kimball as property of Hanna
! ford &, Kimbal co.
| Mr.. Boutin, it is said, had over 500
| In his possession when he left Lewiston
for Boston. He is known to have rela-
tives in Chelsea and the Lewiston po-
| lice have telephOned the Boston and
Chelsea departments to arrest him.
| From the time the robbery was made
| the police have suspected that one of
the employees got the $1100 in checks
and money from the safe, as no break
was made, the safe being perfect and
| the doors locked when the store was
| opened the following morning. OF the
$1l00, $500 was in cash, while the other
$500 was in checks. The checks and
| bills were in one package.
| He is about 20 years old; smooth
face; weighs 100 pounds; has a star
pricked in India ink between thumb and
first finger of right hand; and wore a
dark suit and straw hat. He Is French
but talks English fuently.
| Many compliments are given Marshal
Wing and Inspector Leader for their
fine piece of work in the case.

FOOT BRIDGE OPEN.
Any One Can Now Gross on Paymen
of Two Cents.

The Tfconic foot bridge will be opened
to the public, early this morning. This
is suspension foot bridge and has been
under construction for several months
past, the work being done and the ma
terial furnished by the Berlin Construc-
ton Co. 1t replaces the other foot
bridge which was carried out by the
big freshet after 1t had been open to
the public but a few days.
The new bridge has two spans that
were saved from the first one and these
extend from the shore to the big con-
crete piers. Two high steel towers have
been erected on the piers to support
the big cables that carry the main span
across the river. Steel hangers at
tached to the cables, support the wood
work Of the walk. The total length of
the bridge from shore to shore is SIC
feet and it has been very substantially
built at a large cost.
1t is securely guyed so that 1t will
not sway in a wind and the sides of
the walk are thoroughly protected by
high, substantial ratings. The bridge
will be almost as rigid as the others
in this vicinity.
There will be no formal opening, the
first man to appear with the purpose
Of crossing being taxed two cents and
allowed to pass with as many more
coming after him as care to do so.
Thomas r. Carleton will be toll collec-
tor While q single passage will cost
two cents, a generous reduction VIII
be made on tickets bought In lots of
various sizes. The old bridge remained
lust long enough to prove that 1t was
L paying investment and this one Is
expected to earn good dividends. 1t
crosses from the foot of Temple street
to a point just below the mills of the
Hollingsworth e Whitney Co., so 1t
will connect the two places so closely
that the houses about the mills will be
almost in the heart Of the city. This
will open up a very fine section for
building and another season will doubt
less see a large number of houses built
On the other side of the river about
the end of the bridge.
1t Is expected also that 1t will be
great benefit to Waterville, as 1t will
make the city easy of access for large
number of people who have hitherto
been obliged to travel a long distance
ITO get over here.

That Curse Called Rumor.

Between the Incendiary who fires his
neighbors barn in secret vengeance,
and the Worthy who starts a run on
a Bank with malicious gossip, there is
only a technical difference.
Gossip with-a- purpose has too often
been used to stab character and to
wreck fortunes, and 1t Is a great pity
the law cannot better reach those who
employ such intangible and insidious
methods to achieve their ends.
Scarcely any enterprise or individual,
no matter how deserving, is safe from
the subtle dangers of the Gossip mon
ger and human nature SO loves a NOR
sci of such news" that it can be relied
upon to push along a rumor when
once 1t has been judiciously started.
A vivid illustration of the gross in
justice such a rumor can do is seen in
the Force" Food Company's advertise
ment of this date, wherein a reward of
$4,000 is offered for the conviction of
the parties who initiated the suggestion
that Force" was drugged.
A further offer of $4,000 for evidence
that a single package of the fifty mil
lion sold contained anything except
Wheat. Barley and Table Salt is, of
course, a complete refutation of the ru-
NOR, even If the State Supervision OF
Foods was not in itself ample protec-
ton.
People who love fair play in business,
az well as in other matters, Will read
with Indignation that it has cost lie
Force" Food Company over $4,000 to
publish a refutation of this "rumor' in
the newspapers of the United States and
Canada, and, probably, as much more
in loss of sales resulting from the base
less gossip which did the harm.
The absurdity of the rumor is appar-
ent when it is known that the public
has consumed fifty million packages of
Force" without a single instance OF
any ill effect upon anyone OIL the US
|ers.
The .'Force" Co. are evidently suffer-
ing the usual penalty for success.

SKOWHEGAN.
John DeaIy.

John Dealy, aged SIS, one of the towns
best known and most highly esteemed
business men, died very suddenly or
heart disease at his store on Madison
street. at about II o'clock Monday fore
noon. Mr.. Dealy had not been feeling
well for several days, having trouble
with his stomach, but was able to at
tend to business. Just before attacked
he was standing near the entrance of
his store, laughing and joking with
some friends, when he suddenly became
verv i'll. staggered a few steps and fell
unconscious to the floor. Drs. Das-
comb and Stinchfield We're hurried to
the store just as quickly as possible and
used all means in their power to re-
yive him but without success and he
died within a very short time after be-
ing attacked.
Mr.. Dealy was born in Augusta and
came to Skowhegan with his parents
when he was IL years old. Helearned the
trade Of tailoring with his father as
soon as he was old enough and worked
at this either for himself or for other
people all his life. He spent short
reriods in Boston and Orono. but the
larger part of his time in Skowhegan.
He had been in business for % years
and at the time of his death was con-
Quoting a clothing store with tailor
ing establishment connected.
He married Miss Olive Young of
Greenland, N. H, and she survives him;
also a brother, Charles Dealy, and a
sister. Mrs. C. B. Clark. Mr.. Dealy
was a man of sterling integrity and
one who had many friends. During his
long residence here he became known
| to nearly everyone and was a general
| favorite.
He was known as a most excellent
citizen and loyal friend. His sudden
death came as a great shock to every
one and as the loss of warm personal
friend.
