The fire alarm was sounded at 4.3o
o'clock Wednesday afternoon to which
the fire department promptly responded.
1t proved to be a false alarm for no
fire existed at the residence of Mrs. Jane
Sleeves on lower Second street, the place
where the fire was supposed to be. Some
body had been watching the roof OF the
house and the rain as it fell on the roo1
was caught by the wind, thus producing
a spray which at first glance looked
great deal like smoke. and as the roof
was steaming little from the rain faii-
ing upon it the person was deceived into
thinking the roof was on fire and tele-
phoned the fire department. The all-out
signal was blown at 4.45.

Wednesdays rainstorm was the
worst one Of the season, being accom-
panied by a cold driving wind which
few people cared to venture out in UNI
less actually obliged to do SO, and wet
feet and the turning inside out OF UNI
brellas were common occurrence
throughout the day. More or less
havoc was occasioned by the high wind
in different parts Of the city. The
roof of small hen house which stood
in the yard of the S. Mashadri resi-
dence on upper Winthrop street was
completely torn off and hurled for
several feet by the velocity of the
wind. Clement Bros. awning in front
of the store on Water street was
blown down Wednesday forenoon and
a sign over the store of the Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Co. on Water street
was blown down. landing at a point
% feet away. Luckily no one was
passing the spot at the time or Sc
rious accident might have occurred.
The rain beat in around the stores
on Water street. Altogether it was
one Of the coolest and most disagree
able rain storms that has visited Hal
lowell for some time.

BIKE AND RID ES
OFF TO PORTLAND

Portland, Me-, May 17.-Hardly big
Der than pint Of peanuts. Graswell
e.. Harris, 13 years old, Of Durham,
withstood the third degree conducted
til he finally broke down and sobbing-
Iy told how he he'd stolen a bicycle
in East Durham and come to Port
land
. Harris is son of Robert H. Harris
and is one Of IA children. He left his
rural home Monday for his school at
East Auburn. There he saw Hubert
Estes with bicycle.
Let me take your wheel?" asked
Harris.
mo" was the reply.
When the Estes boy had gone into
the building, Harris mounted and rode
of to Portland. It was his bicycle
which. Wednesday. brought to an end
, a nearly wholesale campaign of check
forging conducted by the 13-year- old
boy.
+ Harris admitted that when he left
home he took some blank checks and
on arriving in Portland he began to
make these out for small amounts, US
ing the name Of any person at home
of whom he might think. A lead pen
Gil was used. and for all of this he
succeeded in cashing number OF
them and in procuring goods. A rain
coat for SO, rubber boots and other
articles were obtained.
Tuesday afternoon Harris entered
the store Of Hiram Berstein and want
ed to buy dollar watch. He present
ed one Of the pencilled checks and
Bernstein became suspicious and
asked questions. Harris at once left
the store and forgot to take his bicy-
Gle.
Wednesday forenoon he returned fol
the wheel, was taken into custody by
Bernstein and then turned over to the
police. When asked why he came tc
Portland, Harris told a pitiful stor,
of neglect at home and declared there
were SO many children he didn't have
enough to eat or enough clothes te
wear.
When he was told he might have
to go to the State school for boys, he
said he would rather go there thar
home.
