TRACED TO LAWRENCE
THURSDAY
Prompt Work on the Part OF Sheriff
Mooers and Deputy Chute In Cap
turing Burglar.

Prompt and efficient work on the
part of Sheriff John A. Mooers and
Deputy c. II. Chute resulted in the
quick arrest of one August H. Debut
Ter for breaking and entering
and larceny from the Common
wealth Shoe shop and the Marston
Worsted Mill here Wednesday night of
last week The goods stolen were
shoes valued at $50, and cloth to the
value of $150.S2 The officers spent
quite a portion of the forenoon trying
to find some clue of the robbers and
finally learned from Night Watchman
Steward that a man had been seen at
an early hour Thursday morning
dragging a trunk toward the NJ. {.
station. After comforting with Sum-
ner Ward, the baggage men at the
station, it was learned that only one
trunk had been checked away on the
5 a. m. train and that man had
bought a ticket for Lawrence, Mass.
With these meagre facts Sherin
Mooers got into communication with
the police station of Lawrence, and
gave them the number of the trunk
check. 1t then lacked only about D
minutes of the time for the train to
pull into Lawrence, but the city
marshall arrived in time to tell the
baggage man at that end of his er-
rand and few minutes later man
jumped from the train and went to
the baggage room presenting the
check which corresponded with the
number telephoned there from Show
hogan. The man refused to let the
city marshall open the trunk and he
was taken to the police station, the
stolen goods being found contained
therein.
Deputy sheriff Chute was driven to
Waterville Thursday night in time to
catch the pullman out of that city and
although ordinarily several days
would have been required to extradite
the man under arrest, at telegraphed
request from Sheriff Mooers, Debuller
consented to waive the usual formali-
ties and the consequence was Deputy
Chute was back in Skowhegan Friday
night with the prisoner.
When arranged before Judge Law
renee in the Municipal Court Saturday
morning, on two separate charges of
breaking and entering and larceny,
Debuller plead guilty and was held in
$500 bonds to await the action of the
grand jury at the March term of court
and on default of bail was committed
to County Jail.

At the Municipal Court.

"A case of two single sales was be-
fore Judge F. F. Lawrence in the
Municipal Court, Friday forenoon,
Clifford Blair of Jackman being the
party under arrest. He was fined $50
and costs on both counts, but took an
appeal and furnished bonds for his APP
pearance at the March term of the
Supreme Judicial Court.
The chief witness for the state was
Clifford Duthill who was brought
from Jackman to serve a term in jail
in default of payment OF a S22 fine
said fine having been imposed for
malicious mischief According to the
testimony it appeared that Duthill be-
came intoxicated from liquor punches
ed from Blair and was taken sick. AS
a result there was something of a
mess to clean up and for doing this
Blair attempted to collect 30 cents
from Duthill. This enraged Duthill
and he kicked one of the hotel doors
in, Blair then had the offender arrest
ed for malicious mischief and he was
fined $22 by the local justice. Duthill
refused to pay this and as result is
at the County Jail.

WORK or SKOWHEGAn
BOY SUCCESSFUL
Dedicated Fine New Church Edifice
Last Sunday.

Local friends of Guy Parker Estes
will be delighted to learn that the
Christian Science Church at Winsted,
Conn, of which he ID the First Reader,
dedicated a handsome new church
edifice there last Sunday. The build
ing is of Grecian design, terra Gotta
and stucco construction, and cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000. The
location is such as to make 1t one
of the conspicuous structures of the
town. The most unique feature is a
new type of church organ known as
the choralcelo, this being the first one
installed in the state of Connecticut
The instrument is built something like
an immense piano, but with the strings
operated upon an entirely new princi-
pie Behind each string is an electro
magnet, and this responds to a pull
sating current when the corresponding
key is depressed. The result is an
absolute purity of tone, unmarried by
mechanical sounds of any kind. The
name of the instrument is derived
from the Latin meaning celestial choir.
Mr.. Estes went from Skowhegan to
Winsted but a few years ago, and I'M
der his leadership the Winsted church
has grown maryellously. He Is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank |. Estes,
and was formerly First Reader for
the Christian Science Society here.

combination of racing cars and FAM

figure in the second annual 5OO-mile
International Sweepstakes race to be
run at the indianapolis Motor Speed
way next Memorial Day is the Stutz
team composed of Gil Anderson and
Len Zengel as regular drivers with
Billy Knipper as relief driver.
Two of the Stutz cars have been en-
tered; these are identical in type with
the Stutz car which competed in the
last 500-mile race and went through
without a stop for mechanical adjust
ment. This was considered remarka-
BILE inasmuch as it was the first car
of the model and make that was man
ufactured and because of this perform
ance the company was formed and the
car was put upon the market. Gil
Anderson, who will drive entry mum
Der one Stutz car this year, was the
driver in the last race. He sent his
Stutz car through several races last
year and made nonstop perform
ance which was considered notable by
motor racing experts.
Len Zengel, who is Anderson's team
mate, has been a racing driver for sew
eral seasons, his last notable victory
being the winning of the Elgin Ma
tional Stock Chassis road races at Ell

FAMOUS FEUD|ST
IS FINALLY SLAIN
F. Callahan of Breathitt
County, KY, Shot De-
spite Precautions.
tr.ational News Association,


LOUISVILLE, KY, May "A re-
port from Jackson, Kentucky, says
that F. Callahan, former sheriff of
Breathitt county and one of the lead
ers of the famous Hargis faction was
assassinated in front of his store at
Crockettsville, KY. TWO years ago
Callahan was shot by an assassin but
recovered.
Callahan was riddled by bullets as
he stood at the door of his store by
sharpshooters who were hidden on
the hillside at the same place from
where they shot him two years ago.
The killing of Callahan is another trag-
edy in the Hargis- Cockerill feud which
has for more than ten years stained
Breathitt county with blood. He was
one of the last leaders. All others
have met violent deaths, most of them
by assassins' guns. Callahan knew that
he was a marked man and that soon.
er or later his enemies would get him
To avoid death he had made the most
ella aborate precautions. Around his
store and his residence he had built
five walls that he might not be under
range of the surrounding hills. Con
Meeting the store and his home was a
covered passageway that he might &c

To Absorb Freckles
and Other Blemishes

Every spring receive many letters
from girls seeking some reliable recipe
for removing freckles. Last year ,ad-
vised many to try mercolized wax.
Such, favorable results were reported
that this season l have recommended
nothing else for the purpose. The
wax seems to possess unusual proper
ties which completely absorb every
freckle, with no harmful effect. The
complexion improves wonderfully, be-
coming as soft as rose petal, and as
delicately tinted. .~ 49,,
Get an ounce of mercolized wax at
any druggist, spread thin layer of it
over the entire face every night for
awhile, washing this off in the morn
ing. For rough, red skin, sallowness,
blackheads, pimples, and all cutaneous
blemishes, this treatment is superior
to any that has ever come under my
observation.
Springtime also brings wrinkles to
many sensitive skins that are much
exposed to winds and changing tenn
peratures. Pour a half pint of witch
hazel into a basin, then an ounce of
powdered saxolite, which quickly dis
solves. Battle the face in this; the eff
feet on wrinkled skin is remarkable.

IN ARCHIBALD CASE
(National News Assosiation)


WASHINGTON, May 4.-President
Taft today transmitted to the house
judiciary committee the papers from
the department of justice relating to
charge against Judge Archibald of
the Commerce Court, involving an al
legged financial transaction with the
Erie railroad. He expressed no opin-
ion as to the justice or injustice OF
the charges, but said that the con-
tents of the records of the department
would not be made public.
The attorney general has made a
careful investigation of the charges
said the president, "and as a result oi
| that investigation has appraised me
that, in his opinion, the papers should
/ be transmitted to the judiciary com
mittee to be used by it as the basis O
an investigation into the facts involv
ed in the charges"
The fact that the papers have nov
been sent to the judiciary committee
is the only evidence direct or indirec
as to how serious the department o
justice or the president regards tn,
charges against the former member o
