SOMEWHAT NOVEL
CASE FOR AUGUSTA
MUNICIPAL COURT
Three Men Are Arrested Satur.
day for Stealing Wild
Honey

The preliminary, work incidental to one
of the most novel cases that have been
heard at the Augusta municipal court
was completed Saturday afternoon when
on warrants sworn out by Albert Thomp-
son. who lives on the Mud Mills road
so-called. in the eastern section of the
city, Charles Marks of Randolph.
Charles Bangs of Chelsea and Charles
Irving, also of Chelsea, were arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Weston Lewis of Angus
Ia on the charge of stealing wild honey.
The men were later released upon rur-
nishing bail for appearance this morning
before the municipal court.
Mr.. Thompson, the complainant in the
case, is well-known hunter and trap
per in the section in which he resides,
and also collects and sells wild honey,
for which there is a good demand, it be-
ing considered much more of a deicacy
than that of domestic bees. According to
his statement he had found a bee tree
in the woods of Jasper Gray of Windsor
and had marked the tree with his initials
to signify that the tree had been found.
He has also found six or seven other
bee trees, all OF which he had marked
In the same way. The tree in question
was dead yellow birch, and he states
that he had received permission from the
owner OF the woods in which the tree
stood to cut 1t down when the proper
time came, which is after the first of Oc-
tober
In entering his complaint Mr. Thomp-
son alleges that one of the three men ar
he
1t down carried off the honey which it
contained, which was probably about so
pounds, and he further states that had
the tree been allowed to stand until Oc-
tober it probably would have contained
three times that amount So far as has
been recorded this is the first case of the
kind that has been heard before the Au-
gusta court.

One Augusta young man, who now
lives In Ohio, sent home to the old
folks a short time ago for some pea
beans, giving as reason for his re-
quest the fact that he could find none
where he lived that tasted like those
that he had been used to having at
home. The request was granted and
dad lost no time in sending by ex-
press to the absent one a peck of the
choicest pea beans that he could find
IN the Augusta market, so that it is
probable that last Saturday night there
was served In one Ohio home at least
pot of pea beans that was the real
