In The kennebee Journal.

Sheriff Charles NJ. Richardson of
Kennebec county and city Marshal
George r. Fletcher of Augusta made
an automobile trip TO Palermo, Mon
day afternoon, in search OF IA horse
thief, one Frank Bruce. who is wanted
by the Massachusetts district police
for having stolen a team at South
Hanover, Mass, July .. and landed
their man. Bruce was brought to this
city and committed to Kennebec Jail,
after which j. ii. Scott of South Brain
tree, OF the district police. was noti-
hed that the man was in custody
Bruce's capture was brought about
by a notice which was published in the
Journal Saturday morning. July -
and which had been received by CITY
Marshal Fletcher few days previous.
The notice read as follows.
city Marshal Fletcher has received
a card from j. II. Scott of the Massa-
chusetts district police at South Brain
tree. giving description of Il team
that was stolen from a barn at South
Hanover, Mass. Jul. 8, and which is
as follows Dark brown horse II

pounds; small star in forehead. name
parted half way down; foretop Clipped.
few gray hairs on name and TIL,
prominent backbone. Top box buggy,
black body. red gear. rubber tires, hind
tires new, narrow track. Breastpl9te.
brass mounted harness, open birdie.
Team stolen by Frank Bruce. 40 years
old. feet. S inches in height aad
" L..
mixed moustache, dark gray mixed
hair"
This notice was read sometime dur
ing the day by Merton Norton of Pa
lermo, and on Sunday evening he tee
phoned city Marshal Fletcher. felliag
him that he had read the notice in Inc
Journal. and that he could tell the
officer where Bruce was If he wanted
him.
The trip of the two officers to Pa
lermo was the result. 1t was not an
ideal day for pleasure ride, and the
route followed led them over some
roads that are not the best in the
State of Maine, but at about 4.4o in
the afternoon they located their man
at the house of William Morse. over
near Branch Mills. The family vas
just eating supper when the officers
arrived.
The arrest was made by Constable
Harry Worthing of Palermo. and the
prisoner was by him turned over tn
the Augusta officers. Bruce made RS
resistance but was very much disgust
ed at his capture When asked about
the team he had stolen he said that re
did not bring it TO Maine with him.
but had left it somewhere in Mas5a-
chusetts, Just where he could not tell.
He was not inclined to be very COM
municative. and talked but little IN
the trip to the city. 1t was learne I
that Bruce originally came from Bel
fast.

While we always by instinct asso-

has been no scientific reason for this
belief. as there may be no noxious

Two members of the French acad-
envy of science have been making ex-
periments which go to show that the
popular belief has foundation in fact.
They prepared strips of paper with
"cultures" of the germs c.. typhoid

them in TASKS. some of which were
fIled with pure air, while In others
was placed decaying animal matter.
After "a hours these strips were

that the germs that had been exposed

LET THE PEOPLE RULE

Hon. Z. j. GunderSon Of Alex

friends Of the people, man OF
high character and recognized
ability, who was elected to the
state senate last fall as the un-
animOus choice of the voters OF
Douglas county, in addressing
the senate committee on elections
one evening last week, declared
unequivocally and emphatically
for the extension of the primary
law to state officers and the cleo
ton of U. S. Senators by popu-
lar vote. Mr.. Gunderson is re
ported as saying:
Our present convention sys-
tenn of nominating state officers is
a farce, and the people have
practically no voice in their Sc
lection. Why, the city papers
tell us weeks ahead who is going
to be temporary and permanent
chairman, who will be on the
resolution committee and who
will be the nominees. The chair
mans speech and the resolutions
are typewriter long before the
convention. We go through the
farce of holding caucuses and
county conventions to send dele
gates down here. They come
down, and with their coats off

When it is all over they have
done just what everybody ex-
pected beforehand that thew
would do. Once in while thew

time the slate goes through.
The same is true of both parties.
and it seems the same people
control the nominations in both |
parties; keep it in the family, so |
to say. Our present primary
has given the people consider
able power and has put away |

clans, but not all of them. II

ions in both parties" The
