pital bet that, owing to improper and
insufficient treatment, his wound had
developed gangrene and that he was
waiting to have his arm amputated.
The response to his plea Is said to
have amounted to a considerable sum
Of money.
When taken to the intelligence
headquarters and the bandages re-
moved it was found that nothing
whatever was the matter with his
hand. 1t was further ascertained
that he had never been in the service
abroad. He admitted that he is want
ed by the police Of his home town for
the recent theft Of a bicycle. He IL
also alleged to have stolen a $50 Lib

serter from bingham which is his
nearest approach to active service.
A part of the stock in trade Of both
men is said to have been their con-
demnation of the treatment which
they had received at the hospitals in
which they claimed to have been in

Of Captain rockingham and his as
! sistants that it Is such men as Fraz-
Ter and Marshal who are responsible
for the rumors Of lack Of proper care
and treatment at such institutions.

ham. for there is no necessity for

is the fact and before the expira-

promoters Of the scheme hope to
have the transfer Of the property

The Turner Center Creamery
business started about IS years ago
by a few milk producers and butter
makers in that section, who did their
marketing in Lewiston and who
thought they could get together. hire
a man to do the work for all and
have a much easier and better sys-

capitalized at $500 and hired E. l..

business. The business prospcred
from the start.
About that time a market de.
veloped for sweet cream. Mr.. Brad
ford saw the great possibilities Of
this business and wanted to 60 to
Auburn, so as to take advantage Of
this new line. Some of the stock

over the matter resulted in a regu-

bought it in. went with him to Au-

business that is today capitalized for
