Louis E. Pend|eton Of Belfast
Held for Trial
On Charge of Using Mails for Adver-
ising Bogus Money.
Trapped by Decoy Letter-Now in
kennebec Jail.

Louis E. Pendleton of Belfast, was
arrested by Deputy United States Mar
snail Norton Friday night, at Belfast
for fraudulent use of the mails at that
city. The arrest was made at the in
stance of Post Office Inspector Chas.
, E. Jennings of Bangor. Pendleton was
brought to Augusta on train 81, Satur-
day forenoon, and given a hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner Bur-
leigh, being represented by A. M. God
dard of this city. Four witnesses tes-
titled, they being Inspector Jennings,
Deputy Marshal Norton, Postmaster
Frank Fields of Belfast and Carroll
Thompson, a letter carrier of Belfast,

goods circulator, advertising to sell

distance. In trapping him, Inspector
Jennings used the usual method, that
of the test letter, purportfng to come
from Orland, Ind, and had Pendleton's
reply, with contents, sent to him. This
was submitted to the United States at
torney who pronounced it q pure case
of fraud, and decided that prosecution
should be made.
1t is said that the, connection of L.
u. Pendleton and l.. E. Pendleton Co.
is established beyond doubt, for on Fri
ay night, before making the arrest, In
spector Jennings caused a special de-
livery test letter to be delivered to him.
for which he signed as the L. E. Pen
dleton Co. also stating that he and the
L. e. Pendleton Co. were one and the
same

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS,

Surely the testimony of one of the sur.
vivors of the war of 81 will carry con-
viction to the mind of every thinking in

during those years of fighting, and also
the depleted physical condition of many
of them at the close.

Funeral of Mrs. Charles F. Ward,

The funeral of the late Mrs. Charlie:
r. Ward took place from her home or
Mt. Vernon avenue. Saturday, Dec 5
the Rev. Mr.. Dunnack of the Methods
church officiating. This is one of thu
saddest deaths that has occurred il
our city for long time.
Mrs. Myra Longfellow Ward was
born and had always lived in Augusta
She was the only daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dearborn Longfellow.
The grief-stricken husband, parents
and brother have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the entire community.
Although her sickness was of short
duration, yet her struggle with the dis
ease-though everything that the fond
est love could prompt was done to re-
lieve her sufferings and restore her to
health-made the approach of her
death angel to her a welcome visitor
and she passed from earth to a higher
life as quietly and serenely as a happy
child might fall asleep on its mothers
bosom.
Almost heartbroken as her bereaved
husband and parents now are, they
must in slight degree feel a sad salts
faction and resignation that from
wasting pain and disease she is lat
rest though beyond their loving care
and guardianship.
The deceased possessed a large circle
of friends and acquaintances She was
consistent worker in all good causes
and her many virtues had endeared
ner to the hearts of all who We're per-
sonally acquainted with her. With
malice t0NSri he,
all blended with daily acts of kindness,
unselfish in every particular and al
though retiring in her manner she was
always ready to stand for what she
believed to be right and throw the
mantle of charity over the foibles of
others.
Death is an event for which we are
never ready and when it comes it
touches us as something strange anG
almost tragic; then it is that our
hearts are moved by emotions and we
realize that another link has fallen out
of the golden chain which bound US
together.
Kind and indulgent wife, dutiful.
loving daughter and sister. self-sacri-
ficing friend, adieu and forever fare
we'll.
The bearers We're Harry Lishness.
William Knowles Mont Choate and
George Jones.

THROWN FROM HORSE,
Miss Marion Lawson Badly Injured
Saturday, While Ridino,

Boston. Dec. 6.-Miss Marion Lawson,
daughter of Thomas w. Lawson of Bos-
ton, was thrown from her horse while
notwithstanding on Main street, NorwelI
center, late yesterday forenoon, and Sc
Verely injured.
Miss Lawson left her fathers country
home at Dreamwold for a canter through
the surrounding towns. Her sister Miss
Dorothy Lawson. and Bunnie Lawson ac-
compahied her in a phaeton drawn bv a
pony. Miss Marion rode one of the hand
some thorou2hbreds on her fathers farm
Passing through Main street her horse
stumbled on a loose stone and fell sud
denly to his knees. Miss Lawson was
taken wholly unawares and was pitched
ground. She struck with considerable
force and, having no time to save herself,
landed on her head and slid quite dis
lance over the hard ground
Her sister saw her fall and her cries
alarmed Samuel Olsen of Norwell who
was driving up the street in a fish wagon
Mr.. Olsen FASTENED up and found the in
jured girl lying half conscious He pick
to DR.. Iittle's office at the Turner House.
Dr. Little found that the girl was badly
cut about the face and neck. Her face
had ploughed over the roadway. and the
was severely scratched When She fell
she struck on the back of her head, and
must have turned almost a complete SOM
ersault. Her head and neck We're wrench
ed and she was also somewhat hurt about
the back Her clothing was torn, and
one of her wrists was sprained and her
arms were bruised. Dr.. Little worked
over her more than an hour and the
wounds were carefully bandaged.
The news was telephoned at once to
Dreamwold, and Miss Gladys Lawson
drove to Norwell. Her father, T. W.
Lawson. was notified of the accident Miss
.awson, who was with her sister when
she fell, was very much frightened and
shocked Miss Marion was completely I'M
strung by the accident, but after a few
hours rest was able to be removed to her
home in Dreamwold. She is doing as well
as can be expected. The girl complains of
her back and neck: and it will be some
permanent physical injuries are feared.

STATE HOUSE.
Almost 1000 Volumes Added
to Library, This Year.
Features of the December Bulletin Of
Agricultural Dept.
Special Legislative Committee on SaIa :
ries-Capitol Visitors.

State Librarian Carver has been
| looking over the records of the year
and finds that for the IL months end
ing Dec. 1, 1903, about $500 new books
and pamphlets We're added to the
library. This is fully 1000 more than
We're ever added in an equal length of
OF time. A report of the State libra
rian is issued only once in two years
and its figures are for twoyear peri
DDS. By the last report it appears that
for the years 1901 and 1902 there were
added to the library 11,415 volumes.
OF these $3.50 were purchased; 1850
We're received from other states in ex-
change for Maine books and docu-
ments; 1882 were received from the
United States government; 933 were
gifts, and 2G00 We're purchased for the
travelling libraries. The records have
not yet been gone over for the CLASH
fication of the $500 volumes added in
1903, but the proportion from the va
rious sources is about the same as in
the earlier years mentioned. There are
now a total of nearly 10000 volumes
in the library
AT the close of each year, in accord
once with a long established rule OF
the library, all the books which are
leaned are gathered in, and an account
of stock taken. Librarian Carver is
anxious that all now having books
belonging to the library return them
as quickly as possible. Occasionally a
look is lost which belongs to the
library, and there have been a few
cases where valuable books have been
ctnlpn from no CHI r iC
that when a book is stolen it is almost
always a rare and valuable copy, and
presumably it is taken by some I'M
scrupulous collector who has travelled
from library to library until he has dis
covered the book wanted and found an
opportunity to abstract it,
One reason why the library is now
growing much faster than in earlier
years is that there is now a much
greater exchange OF State reports and
documents than was the case a few
years ago. Mr.. Carver has been en-
deavoring to improve the library in
this department and now receives each
year three times as many volumes in
exchange as he did when he first as
sumed the duties of the Office in 1890.
One matter which causes confusion in
the exchanging Of reports is that in
some states the libraries do this work
and in others it is done under the
direction of the secretary of State.
These reports are of the greatest his
torical and political value, and their
value increases with the years. A
pretty complete and accurate history
of Maine, for instance. could be writ
ten without reference to any other
source of information than a file of
the public documents of the State
since 1920 1t is the same with all the
states. In some cases the sets in the
Maine library are not complete and
can never be made so unless the miss
ing volumes are reprinted. The sets
of the Southern states in particular
were badly broken up by the Civil war.

A sample of unadulterated Western

A sample of unauthorized Western
gall was received by Librarian Carver,
last week, in the form Of letter from
a Chicago lawyer. The writer asked
a series of questions relative to vari-
Gus branches of Maine law, any one of
which could only be answered by
long and laboriously-prep treatise.
There were some questions to which
an answer of any value could only be
given after days of work, and others
which the combined wisdom of the
supreme court could not answer. Mr..
Carver is man of patience and good
nature, and withal one we'll versed in
the law. He dictated a long letter,
giving the Chicago man what Informal
ton he had at hand, and then directing
him to the Maine Revised Statutes and
law reports. He added a postscript
saying that it might also be advisable
to consult a lawyer.
