the number Of. Placing the $50 where
he knew Mr.. Wade would be likely to
come across it, Mr.. Hooper awaited
developments. A short time later the
bills disappeared. A few days after
the theft Mr.. Wade appeared before
the postmaster at Maplegrove and or
dered a money order to be made out
to his wife, who is residing in Lime
stone. The postmaster having been
notified was suspicious and when
Wade paid for the money order in the
same currency that Mr.. Hooper had
lost so it is alleged, the police were
notified. After being lodged in the
Jail at Fort Fairfield Saturday eve
ming, Wade gave up q large sum in
currency and silver which he owned
he had stolen. The prisoner was
bound over to the November term Of
court on $500 bail.
