manure from both floors is conveyed
by drains 10 a cement cistern.
The third floor Is reached by a short
viaduct. and here the silo IL filled and
all thrashing done. Hay and bundles
are unloaded by means Of two circular
hay carriers. Water from the well is
pumped by a windmill into a storage
tank Just above the silo on the third
floor. thence being piped all through
the barn and house.
The floor of the second story Is
supported by the partition studs OF
the FIRST floor. while the third floor

SUIT CASE FULL OF MONEY

Found in His Possession.
Winfield MarsOn, Aged Sixteen,
Who Fled from Springfield,
Mass., Caught I'm Maine.

Bradley Ne, Aug. 15.-Having In his
possession a new dress suit case stuffed
with thousands Of dollars worth of new
so gold certificates and new $ Treasury
notes, amounting in all 20 $500, Winfield
Marson, aged sixteen years. formerly
clerk IN the Chicopee National Bank, of
Springfield, Mass, was arrested here late
to-day by Deputy Sheriff c. z. Radcliffe
on the charge Of larceny Of $500 from the
Chicopee National Bank on July %.
Marson came TO Bangor on the steamer
Camden, arriving July 81. He met a man
named Charles ". Livermore at the pier
and asked to be driven up the river into
the hunting country. Lvermore took hin.
to his home az Bradley and after some
persuasion agreed to take Marson as a
boarder for short time. Marson con-
tinued to stay after Mr.. LivermOre had
told him ne must go, and this, together
with the display Of considerable money
by Marson. led to suspicion being aroused
against the young man.
He told Livermore that he was bank
clerk earning IS a week and was on ais
vacation. When he was away yesterday
afternoon an examination of his room
was made. and a suit case bullying with
new money was found.
The authorities at Old Town were IN
formed, and It was learned Marson was
wanted by the police Of Springfield for the
alleged theft of 5000 from the Chicopee
bank
Marson is said to have confessed to the
officers that he stole the money, and said
he had wanted to return it for some time.
but he did not know how
