are guilty, the Fairfield officers are
sure, as they found on St. Peter money
and a watch charm, which correspond
ed to the one taken from Mr.. Stinson
st. Peter was turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Eastman of Benton and brought
to this city, where he was locked up.
r. In the afternoon he was given
hearing before Trial Justice Dana p
Foster. Probable cause was found and
he was held in the sum of $1,000 for his
appearance at the September term OF

furnish the necessary bonds he was
taken to Augusta to await trial.

that the holdup occurred about $50
o'clock. She noticed two men running
across a field. One caught the horse
by the head, she identifying ST. Peter

way to the rear of the carriage, and
pulled Mr.. Stinson from his seat. When
Mr.. Stinson was thrown from the car
riage, both jumped upon him and
smothered his cries. He was then
struck several times and relieved Of
what valuables he had in his possess
sion. Mrs. Roberts was unable to give
a description of the second person.

made their escape, Mr.. Stinson was
able to drive to Fairfield, where the
affair was reported to the police. Sher-
if Eastman was notified and the Of
