THE FRANCIS REWARD.
The Haypressers Say They Captured
and Detained the Negro.

Gossip about the negro convict Minot
st. Clair Francis and his escape from
the State prison at Thomaston has
dwindled considerably in the last few
days and is only now and then heard
when somebody makes a guess as to
who viii get the reward for the Negroes
capture. Nothing definite about the
paying Of the reward has been heard
yet. The latest development in the af-
fair is a letter received by the Bangor
Commercial Thursday from r. S. War
rel. J.. r. Smith and George l.. Hurd,
the men who were pressing hay in the
Grover barn at the time Francis was
captured. The letter follows:
To the editor of the Commercial:
Dear Sif-We think it about time you
should hear from the "Haypressers" in
regard to the capture Of Minot ST. Clair
Francis 1t has been reported that we
do not claim any part Of the reward Of
fered for his capture. This is not true.
1t was us who discovered him in the
barn where We were at work and de-
tanned him while the officers could be
notified and come to the place lnd take
him into their custody.
it was A. NJ. Nov. 90. when Geo. l..
Hurd found Francis hiding in the hay.
He claimed to be looking for work and
inquired if he might get something to
eat at the house. We assured him that
he could. Francis accordingly went in
to the house for breakfast and We at
once began to plan for his capture. L.
r. Smith followed him to the house and
after acquainting Francis with the fact
that he knew who he was advised him
to come to the barn again and hide in
the hay for the day. He was assured
that we would not trouble him and we
offered him our horse blankets for SOW
ering to keep himself warm. AS soon as
we had him safely slowed away we got
MIS-. Grover to send her boy to the sta
ton to have the agent telegraph to the
authorities at Bangor, while we would
work away all unconcerned, so that
our man would not take the hint that
anything was in the air. We kept him
there safely until the officers arrived
and took him in charge.
Now it seems clear that we as truly
held Francis till officers could arrive
as though we had stood over him with
guns in hand and forced him to do so.
On NOV. ~ we nOtlHe0 WARDEN NOR
ton that we claimed the offered reward
and although we have not yet heard
from him we expect to hear from him
soon.
We are willing to share the reward
with Mrs. Grover. as she helped in the
capture by sending her boy to the sta
ton to dispatch for the officers.
(Signed)

THE ISSUE PUT ON TRIAL.
SHOTS
AT BURGLAR.
SaIOOnkeeper Heard Man in His
BarrOOm Fled When He
Approached.

At 1.30 O'Clock this morning Mike
Mitruski, who keeps saloon at
Broad and State streets, thought he
heard some one in his bar room. He
hurriedly dressed, and with a re-
volver in hand went down stairs. He
was just in time to see a man disap-
pear through rear window The sa-
loonkeeper fired three shots at the
man, but was unable to stop his
fight.
The sounds of the shots brought
Patrolman Kozusko, and l.. G. Jen-
sen to the place, and with their aid
Mitrusli made a thorough search of
the premises, but were unable to find
any trace of the thief. The bar room
and cash drawer were examined, and
as near as can be ascertained about
twenty cents and few cigars are
the only things taken by the invad-
er, who was probably frightened
away before he had time to loot the
place.
This robbery corresponds with a
number of others that have taken
place recently and the police expect
to make a capture soon.
