A Charge Of Breaking,
Entering and Larceny
IS Made Against Charles
Brown, by George Tracy.
= 754i9Nti 2
Brown Pleads Not Guilty, But Is
Bound Over at Hearing.

George Tracey, prominent farmer
and second selectman of Oakland, who
IS also engaged in butehering and con-
Quoting meat wagon, came to this
place yesterday forenoon and inform
ed Deputy Sheriff Brophy that he had
reasons for suspectirg that one Charles
Brown, who resides on the bank of
the Kennebec in the rear of Fletcher
store on lower Main street, had brok-
en- into his slaughter house at Oak
land on the previous night and taken
several pieces of meat from the ice
chest, and asked that a search war
rant be obtained. Mr.. Tracy stated
that when he came home with his wag-
on Tuesday night he took therefrom
a chuck roast of beef, a part of a neck
piece and half of a hogs head, placing
them in the ice chest with other meat
The chest is located in the slaughter
house which is securely fastened with
paddock. On entering the building in
the morning he noticed several
matches that had been lighted scatter
ed about the floor. and on opening the
chest found the meat missing Tracks
of team leaving the yard and turn
ing in the direction of Waterville were
easily observable and could be traced
for quite a distance towards the city.
From some peculiaritieS of the shoe
marks Mr.. Tracy believed the horse to
have. on padded shoes. At Waterville
he learned that a team was hired by
Brown the night before at Pillsbury's
stable and that it had not then been
returned. Deputy Brophy notified
Sheriff Moore at Skowhegan, who sent
Deputy Charles Chute of that place
down on the noon train. A warrant
was obtained and the two deputies ac-
companied by Police Officer Quincy,
proceeded to the Brown residence. They
were told that Mr.. Brown had Just left
for Waterviile. On entering the house
a beef roast which closely correspond
ed with the one described by Mr.. Tracy
was found in the oven The bone and
some other remains of a neck piece
were found on the table evidently be-
ing what was left over from the fami-
Iy's dinner. Parts of hogs head were
found in sort of stew that was still
on the stove, while the fat and outside
that had been skinned off was found in
a raw state in the cupboard. The Wa
tcrville police department was noti-
fled to have an eye out for Brown and
he was apprehended by one of the
force during the afternoon while in
Robinsons market On Silver street.
Deputy Sheriff Ellis of Oakland came
over and took the man to that place,
where hearing was held before Trial
Justice Bryant last evening. Brown
pleaded not guilty to the charge, but
he was held under 5000 bonds to appear
at the September term of the Kennebec
superior court. Failing to get bonds he
will be taken to Augusta this morning.
Last winter Brown was convicted In
this county and served term at Show
hogan for stealing chickens.
