IN POLICE CIRCLES.
Arrests Made in Breaking and Enter
ina Case-Prisoner Taken to Augusta.

Two arrests We're made. yesterday ar
ternoon, by Marshal Andrews in connec-
ton with a breaking and entering case
on which the officials of Gardiner and
Augusta have been working for some
time The prisoners are man and n
woman who gave their name as Young.
Two children. boy of about four years
and 4 girl of about two years, We're taken
with them. The prisoners are charged
with breaking and entering the cottag"
of Fred Z. Smith, n contractor. who lives
in Augusta. His cottage, which was en-
tered and rifled about the first OF Octo-
her. it situated at Cobposseecontee lake
Considerable property. including tabl"
linen, silvervare, clothing and quilts
were taken from the cottage, and the po-
lice are confident that they have the
thieves.
The first tangible clue in the case was
discovered, last Monday, by Marshal An
drews, whose attention was called to nu-
merous articles that had been sold to
Frank E. Reed & Co.. proprietors of 4
secondhand store in this city. Mr.. Reed $
suspicion was aroused by the fine quality
of the goods sold by rather rough ap-
pearing persons. Mr.. Reed showed the
numerous articles to the marshal. and
the latter decided that they had undoubt-
ly been taken from cottage. Upon com
municating with Marshal Breen of Au-
gusta, Marshal Andrews learned of the
break that had been made at the lake.
Mr.. Smith came to Gardiner and iden
titled the goods. He said that he suspect
ed Young, who until a week ago lived in
Augusta, from which place he moved to
Chelsea.
Marshal Breen secured Chelsea. yester-
day, while Marshal Andrews kept sharp
watch on visitors to the Reed & Co. store.
| The watch was successful. Mrs. Young
came with a number of articles to sell.
while her husband stood on a corner. The
arrests followed.
At the station the prisoners did very
little talking about the case except to de-
ny their guilt.
Deputy Marshal Hanks came from Au-
gusta and took the prisoners to that city,
early in the evei.ing. The hearing will
! be held in Augusta, Friday morning.
