Saturday evening to search for an es-
capped patient from the Augusta State
hospital and had scared some of the
neople in the vicinity from which the
alarm came They did not find the
man they We're after, who was one
George Bush and who made his geta-
way from the hospital last Tuesday
afternoon. but learned that he had
been in the section in which Riverside
Drive is located, and at so Saturday
afternoon had been seen bv three men
in lumber camp, who tried to induce
him TO go TO the camp and get some
thing to eat, which invitation he de-
clined. The men in the camp thought
that he came from the hospital on ac-
count Of his behavior and also be-
cause of the fact that he had his feet
done up in rags. 1t was learned later
that he had on sneakers under the
rags. The officers did rot locate him
because he was not there at the time
of their search, but a message was
later received that Bush had been re-
turned to the hospital at about $50
having been brought in from Chelsea
by some Of the attendants who went
out after him in response to a mes

BLAINE MANSION ENTERED
Early Saturday Morning But Robber.
Not Motive of Participants

1t was discovered at about 3 o'clock
Saturday morning that the Blaine man
sion, at the corner of State and Capitol
streets, had been broken into some time
during the night the parties, Of whom
there were undoubtedly two. a man and
a woman, having gained an entrance
through a window on the south side of
the ell, leading from the piazza. The
knowledge that there We're man and a
woman in the break was had from the
tracks in the snow leading up to and on
to the piazza. City Marshal Tyler and
Night Officer Bruce visited the house
Saturday morning and inspected the diff
ferent rooms, but found no evidence of
anything having been disturbed or car
ried away. 1t is the theory of the police
that the entrance was gained by the man
breaking a light of glass in the window
and entering in that way. after which
he unlocked the door leading from the
piazza and admitted the woman. This
door was found unlocked when the po-
lice visited the house.

The dwelling of W. S. Knowles. To-
Gated on the Townsend road. about three
miles north of the city proper, was de-
stroyed by fire early Saturday evening,
together with portion Of its contents.
The barns. garage and carriage house
were saved. The alarm was given at
7.1S by six blasts on the fire whistle
which is the signal for fire in the
rural districts, and Chief Hunt took a
team with men and chemicals, and
started for the scene of fire, also send
ing in a call for the auto truck, but as
the fire was we'll under way before the
alarm was sounded on the whistle. but
little could be done by the tiremen on
| their arriva' except to devote them
selves to saving the adjoining buildings,
as the house at that time was doomed.
The house was like the average farm
house in this section, a tWo-and-a- half
structure, with a long ell and was in
fine condition. Mr.. Knowles was down
town at the time the fire was discovered,
/ and the first knowledge of it was had
when Mrs Knowles heard a cracking,
and on going upstairs to ascertain the
cause of the sound she discovered the
flames. \ portion of the furniture was
saved, but the rest was destroyed. The
wind was from the northwest at the
time of the fire, and this fact was in
strumental to some extent in the work
of saving the other buildings on the
farm from damage or destruction. The
estimated loss on account of the fire is
about $4,000, with partial insurance in
the agency of Macomber, Farr &
