Strangers whose business is not known
easily excite suspicion in these days, and
are apt to be investigated by the authori-
ties. Sheriff Weseott has had two such
cases the past week. Last week reports
came from Bluehili that two men were
acting suspiciously there. Sheriff Wes-
oott was advised, and intercepted them at
Ellsworth as they we're leaving. One pro-
dnced credentials showing that he was
| employed by well-known detective
agency and was working on a private
| case. He vouched for the other man, who
it happened was employed on the other
side OF the same case, and was shadowing
the detective. Sheriff Wescott allowed
| them to proceed, and later received a
letter from the headquarters OF the agency
| thanking him for his courtesy. Monday
reports came from Lamoine that a sus-
picions stranger was seen there. Com
raander Westfall OF the coaling station
was also watching the man, who gave his
