A tale of woe which came over the
wires Wednesday from Portland ana
was received at the Maine Central sta
ton in this city, told of a Togus veter-
an who went from Augusta to Portland
and on his arrival at the latter city
was minus his roll of $34. His loss was
reported at the Portland station and
the rubbish cans in front Of the Angus
Ia station were given as a possible
resting place for the bills, but when
after the message had been sent to
Augusta and the cans relieved of their
contents and nothing found, it was de-
cided that the claim Of the old soldier,
that he had probably thrown the bills
into enc of the cans by mistake
was n little shy on it's foundation.
