MATRIMONIAL BUREAU HE FOUND THE GOODS
Stolen Property is Recovered by
Constable Andrews.

Thursday was strenuous day with
Constable George Andrews, who went
to New Sharon armed with a search
warrant to locate property taken
from the feed stable Of e. A. Fahrney,
located on North b street, and with
warrants for the arrest of four men
charged with larceny. Arrived &C
New Sharon the constable did not
find the goods-an overcoat and lap
robeat the livery barn for which
the warrant gave authority for search
ing. Some clues were secured, how
ever, that gave the officer hope Of To-
eating the property at the homes or
some of the parties implicated and he
went before Squire Allen, of New
Sharon, and swore out additional war
rants for the homes of Scott Mitch ell
tree and Mott Mendenhall. The ov-
ercoat was found at the Mitcheltree
place, but the robe could not be 10.
Gated anywhere. Mitcheltree was ar
rested by the officer and brought to
Oskalooea for trial under the warrant
and placed in Jail The others were
arrested and made arrangements for
appearance before Squire Stanley on
Friday afternoon. The members CT
the party, Mendenhall, Mitcheltree,
Oscar Gossage and Dave Curry do not
attempt to deny the ract that they
took the property. Mitcneltree
claims that Curry took the coat but
the accuser is himself implicated by
the others
The property secured under the
warrant issued by Squire Allen was
turned over TO him and he was sub
poenaed to appear with t1S property
before Justice Stanley this afternoon.
officer Andrews says that he
searched about half or the town or
New Sharon before ne located the
property and the parties wanted. The
work was pursued in a very quiet
manner, however, and very few of
the people in the place knew that
anything of the kind was in progress.

LIVE WIKI. KILLS lean.
j. M. c. Anderson Loses Animals
and Il ! Narrow Escape.

A horse and a mule belonging to J.
M. G. Anderson, coal hauler and
junk dealer, of No. 1904 Second ave
nue. west. were killed by a live wire
this morning. The accident occurred
in the alley between the ]. B. Bolton
and S. j. Dutton residences a little
before twelve o'clock. The teamster
was driving through the alley going
north. The mule struck the wire
and tumbled down to his knees and
then dropped dead. In falling the
mule struck the horse, which drop
ped instantly. Mr.. Anderson did not
see the wire, which was a small tele-
phone wire, and seized the leg of the
mule to see if he could get it up. He
did not think the animals were deaf
but supposed they had become tan
gled and one had knocked the othe-
over. When he took hold of the mule
he received a shtck IN his arm and
knew that his team had been struck
by live wire.
The trouble was caused by brol-
en- phone wire coming in contact
with a service wire OF the electric
company. The light wire was bare
where the phone wire struck it and
the current was thus easily carried
The light wire was what is known al
a secondary wire" and was carrying
only one hundred and ten volts, but
this was sufficient to put both of the
animals out of commission.
At the time of the accident Mr..
Anderson was accompanied in his
wagon by five small children and it
is fortunate that the wire did not
strike any Of the occupants of the We
nicle. 1t is hard to say just what
might have occurred.
The telephone men were soon at
the scene of the accident and cut the
wire so that it could do no more mis-
chief. Mr., Garner, of the Traction
Company, was also at the place soon
after the accident to ascertain the de-
tails of the happening.

OTHER SHOCKS FELT.
The Live Wire Had Been Doing Bus
mess All Forenoon.

1t has developed that several other
teams had passed through the alley
where the Anderson team was killed
during the morning and severe shocks
were received by animals. The
team Of Thos. Thornburg, pulling a
dairy delivery wagon, were knocked
down but not seriously injured. the
horses scrambled to their feet I'M
hurt and it was supposed by the driv-
er that they had merely fallen. The
wire that caused the trouble was so
small as to remain unobserved,
Mr. Dutton informs the Herald that
the alley wherein the accident occur
red is private property and not pub
lie alley 1t is owned by him and was
oper for the use Of the adjacent prop
eG owners.
