and buggy showed up at Fred q. Smiths
place in Ellsworth, and offered to sell the
whole rig for $75. Suspecting at once that
the horse was stolen, Mr.. Smith tried to
prevail upon the man to stop awhile and
feed his horse, hoping to have time to
investigate, but the man drove off, saying
he was going to Bangor. Convinced that
the horse was stolen, Smith hitched up
his own horse and followed, overtaking
the man on the Bangor road. When
accused of stealing the horse, the man
gave up the rig and took to the woods.
Smith returned to Ellsworth and turned
the team over to the officers who in
