The mystery which on Sunday and

stable of Fl. w. Bailey at % VIM
throp court, by stranger, who
claimed that he only wanted the team
for short time to take a party to
the hospital, but who failed to return
in due season, was cleared up Mon
Cay by the finding OF the team in a
stable at Winthrop. and also by the
locating and capture at Bath, of the
man who had hired the team on Sat
urday night at Augusta.
1t was through the activity of City
Marshal Tyler that both the team
and the man were located. The city
marshal had in the Monday morning
edition of the kennebec Journal a
small advertisement giving a descrip-
ton Of the team and it was this ad-
Nertisement that gave to the man
IN whose stable the team had been
left the identity of the team. Through
'oiAi' 4'oi I''Ait' WHO heepS poor
room on Water street a few doors
north of Bridge street, it was learn
cd that the man who wanted the
team Saturday night was one Arthur
Marcheldon, and it was also learned
that the man was employed at Bath.
City Marshal Tyler then got into
communication by telephone with
City Marshal Oliver of Bath with the
result that during the morning the
latter officer took the man wanted
into custody and is holding him for
City Marshal Tyler, who will have
Officer William p. Fox of the Au-
susta police go to Bath on the 6.1S
train this morning and bring Mar
chcidon back to Augusta.

BOND SALE BIG
Yesterday One of Best
Days of Loan
Though No Large Single Sales Were
Made The Total Was $4,000 For
The Day, Bringing The Campaign
Total Up To $i77,e5o.

Augusta people took hold Of this
Liberty loan matter in deadly earn
est Yesterday and subscribed s29,S09.
This total was made up by large buy
ers-just the steady buying Of AL
eusta people who were willing 10
back the government to the limits Of
their pocketbooks.
Monday was by far the biggest day
Of the campaign for individual buy
ers Just why they should have gone
at it in such earnest yesterday is UNI
known. Perhaps it is because the At
tack on American troops and the
appearance Of casualties in the 103cd
brought home the war as never oe-
fore.
At any rate, 1t was day OF bis.
steady buying and rush for bones
that kept the banks going full tilt
to keep up with the demand. One
more day like that and Augusta will
pass the half million mark.
People who want Third loan bonds
and willing to pay cash for them
can secure them, for yesterday some
Augusta banks received their first
supply, which are for cash sale. Nat
urally there will be considerable de-
mand for these bonds among people
who like to pay the full price right
down and who want to get their
bonds right back. These bonds are in
denominations OF $50. 500. $500 and
$1,000.

burns the owner knows about low
much he has lost, but if in case he IS
responsible for someone's injury while
driving the automobile he does not
know how much ne has lost until tho
case is finally adjusted, which may
take several years. and the worry and
care is easily worth the amount Of
