The police are SATISFIED that the man

the eastern division of the Boston &
Maine railroad between West Kenne-
bunk and North Berwick, watching for
an onnortnnitv to jump a Boston
freight train but frequently driven to
cover by the proximity of his pirsuers.
To this locality the man was fol-
lowed and at one time the ofacers
were less than an hour behind him.
From the numerous reports, many un-
reliable and misleading, the officers
have followed the most plausible clew,
and hdt upon the trail exactly.
A stranger identified to almost GER
tainty as the hunted man, stopped at
the r'vo Points station Of the Bidde-
ford & Saco electric railroad. The sta
tion agent, who conducts a small store
In connection with his railroad duties,
told the officers an hour later that a
stranger answering to the minutest
detail tho description shown him by
the officers, called at his place and
purchased a glass of ginger ale.
The man was fairly we'll dressed,
but his cIrth~- ~u"0ested that he had
been sleeping in the woods. He ap-
peared much exhausted, excited and
In a hurry. He drank hastily and
hurried down the road towards Alfred.
A halfmile from Five Points the of.
ficers learned from the wife Of a farm
er, that an hour before the man had
passed through the covered bridge at
the Boston & Maine crossing, near her
home.
Half a mile further on the officers
stopped at the home of Peter Sewers,
at the function Of Mountain and Alfred
roads. The family had noticed the
same man passing they thought not
more than 40 minutes before. A short
distance beyond the Sewers home
men were working near the road and
they were sure the stranger had not
passed them.
Station agents along the route have
been notified, and are keeping sharp
lookout.

A London paper tells an excellent

of discomfort to sympathetic Ameri.

International trade touches as many
diverse and interesting articles as an
"old curiosity shop" handles. One OF
the latest and most curious items Is
cato -nine-tails. A Maine man lately
shipped 200 barrels to London. Last
year he sent 45O barrels. 1t is odd
that there should be little demand in
the United States for an article which
grows so commonly here, while IN Lon
don there is constantly widening
market. The downy floss Of the head
of the cattail is used for filling high
priced sofa pillows and cushions.

WOULD CITY Be LIABLE
FOR INERINGEMENTS
Member ofCitizen Committee
Thinks Water Commission
Should Look Into Patents

One OF the arguments advanced by the
Citizens Committee against accepting the
pans Of the United States Sand Fihra-
ton Company for a water plant in this
city. is the fact that the drawings and
speci hcations have never been exhibited
for the inspection outside Of the Water
Commission. And no effort has been
made to ascertain THE validity OF che
patents which the western concern con-
tend are owned by g..
A prominent citizen yesterday asked the
reporter this question. I'm the event Of
the plans and patents Of the Indiana
Company being accepted, and the water
plar7t constructed after their fashion,
would the city be liable in case some other
fellow should walk in and say; Your are
Infringing or patents belonging 10 me?'

lCompany. in my mind" said a member
Of the Citizens Committee recently. as
demsnding a good price for the use Of It's
