NIGHT POLICE OFFICER
CYR RIGHT ON THE JOB
Receivers Stolen skowhesan Car
Thursday Night, Also Captures
Man Alleged to Have Stolen It.

Night officer Levi Cyr Of the Au-
Gusta police force was right on the
job Thursday night as usual and it
was due to that fact that man who
was alleged to have stolen an auto
mobile earlier in the evening at
Skowhegan was rounded up on his
arrival in Augusta and held until the
arrival OF an officer Friday morning
who took him back to SkoWheGan.
The man captured by Officer Cyr
gave his name as Herman Newton Of
Loudon, n. H.. to which place 1T is
supposed he was bound in an auto
mobile when captured.
The first that the Augusta police
knew of the incident was when at
about l1.30 telephone message was
received from Clyde II. Smith, chair
man of the Board of Selectmen of
Skowhegan. saying that a Ford auto
mobile belonging to one Omcr Boiler,
who lives about three miles out of
town, had been stolen while MIR. Boil
lier was attending Il moving picture
show in Skowhegan, and asking the
Augusta police to be on the lookout.
It was Just about an hour later when
Night officer Cyr in crossing the
Kennebec bridge. had about reached
the west end of the structure Wien
he met q man in a Ford car, who
stopped and inquired the way to
Lewiston.
In stopping the car the man stalled
the engine. and as the officer oblig-
lngly "cranked" the car he noticed
that the number on the registry plate
correspondent to that given as the
one said to be on the stolen car, ac-
cordlngly by his invitation the man
drove the car over the bridge and
was locked up at the police station
while the car was taken to a local
garage. This was at about 12.15
yesterday morning.
The second chapter of the case
opened yesterday morning when Mr..
Boiler. the owner of the car, accom-
panied by his father and Deputy
Sheriff c. II. Chute Of Somerset
county. who is turnkey at the Somcr-
set Jail. arrived in Augusta on the
$3.50 train. Sheriff Chute having a
warrant for Newton's arrest, and
went to the police station. where the
usual formalities were quickly under
gone and the party started back for
Skowhegan with their prisoner, and
in the stolen car. Considering the
fact that the theft of the car was not
known until 8 o'clock. and that at
1915 the car had been recovered and
tho man who was allowed to have
| stolen it had been taken into CHS
tody, it shows that quick work was
done and of a type that reflects lot
OF credit on the members Of the Au-
gusta police.
