PECULIAR CASE. Joseph Boyce of Carl
bou came to Northport March 9th, ostensibly
to buy a farm. He claimed to have only q
500 bill with him and as no one could change
it he borrowed S. and silk umbrella of Mrs.
A. Blackington, to whom he also owed board
bill, and hired team to come to Belfast, cav
ing other bills unpaid. Saturday he was locat-
ed in Castine and MondayC. o Dickey of North
port went over after him. In the meantime a
woman supposed to be his wife arrived from
Caribou to settle the indebtedness, but did not
have the necessary funds. Mr.. Dickey returned
from Castine Tuesday morning with Boyce and
that afternoon he was taken before Judge
Knowlton of the municipal court and held I'M
der $500 for the Grand Jury of the April term
of the S. ] court and in default of bail was
committed. That evening he was bailed out
by Abner G. Gilmore and Mrs James S. Harri-
man. Just before the court hearing he was
married to Ophelia T. Mclaughlin of Caribou,
the woman in the case, by James S. Hartman,
Esq, in his Office, with City Clerk Eben +. Lit
tlefield as witness.
