Arrest Ordered by u. S. Authorities

By direction of the United States
Postal authorities, George L. Taylor of
this place was arrested on Saturday
afternoon of last week, and on the
following Monday was taken to Ban
gor in charge of Deputy U. S. Mar
tial Burton Smith.
The story leading up to Taylor's as
rest is long and a bit complicated.
Last December, as the government
alleges, a money order was lost bp
Miss Alice M. Gardner in Castine and
"Georgie" found it. Then, instead
of returning il to it's owner, he endors-
ed it himself and had it cashed by the
Waldo Trust Co at Belfast, in which
city he was quite we'll known. Post
Office Inspector John s. Spotford was
notified and went 10 work upon the
case, tracing the alleged wrong doer
through series of wanderings and
finally locating him in Skowhegan.
At the trial in Bangor Monday,
Taylo plead not guilty and waived
examination. His bond was placed at
$1,000 and as he was unable to furnish
sureties he was committed, to be held
for trial next month. 1t is said that
he endorsed the money order in the
name of F. NJ. Rode rick, by which he
has been known in, Belfast.

Why Our Railroads Are Narrow Gauge
Why are all railroads built on the
standard gauge Of four feet eight and
one-half inches? The makers Of the
first locomotives thought only Of put.
ting their machines upon the tram
ways already In existence. and from
that followed very interesting and
curious result. These tram lines natu.
rally had exactly the width prescribed
by the strength of one horse. By mere
inertia the horse cart gauge estab.
lished itself in the world, and every.
where the train Is dwarfed to a scale
that limits alike Its comfort. power
and speed. Because there Is 30 much
capital engaged and because Of the
dead power Of custom 1t Is doubtful II
there will ever be any change In this
gauge. Still, It might be worse If the
biggest horses had been Shetland pc.
MES our railway carriages now would
only be wide enough to hold two per.
sons side by side and would have q
maximum speed Of twenty miles an
hour. There is hardly reason aside
from this Anticipated horse why the
railway coach should not be nine or
ten feet wide-that is, the width OF

Many Horses In Line.

The course OF our old fashioned
New England winter was interrupted
this week just long enough to suit
the purposes of those who participa-
ted in the Second Annual Horse Day
of Skowhegan Grange. The air was
thick with snow during the morning
hours of Tuesday and this morning
with its wind and threatening clouds
would have been likely to deter the
most enthusiastic horseman, but
Wednesday, March Sd, the date ap-
pointed for this event nearly a year
ago, was a perfect winter day if ever
one dawned over this section Of the
Kennbec valley.
Some owners came to town with
their pairs and single bitches on Tues
day and there was more or less show
ing of good steppers on the streets of
the town during the afternoon. We'd
nesday forenoon the number increas-
ed and shortly after one p. m. there
gathered on lower Water street, for
the parade, something like 80 of the
handsomest horses that ever got to-
gether in this section of Maine. The
line was formed and was guided up
Water Street to Madison avenue,
thence to Leavitt street and across to
North avenue and from there to the
ice track on the river by way OF Wa
ter, Russell. and Elm streets. The
parade turned the track from the
landing to the pier and for the re-
mainder of the afternoon each driver
sought an opportunity for brush
with his next fastest neighbor and
logged his animal over the ice course
or along our streets to show off his
points to the spectators who were
everywhere ready to make the most
of the opportunity to view this mag
ificent collection of Names finest
horse flesh.
There were several buyers at hand
and there was more or less trading
going on all day Wednesday. Sever
al sales at good prices are reported.

horses to the REPORTER as requested
but it was found impossible to secure

part OF those present. 1t was there
