He came from Massachusetts, recently and
went to work for Fred Dunbar of Penob-
| scot. Monday of last week he disap-
peared, and by coincidence, nearly 800 in
small change disappeared from the Dun

raigned in the Ellsworth municipal court
and bound over for the grand Jury

George II. Patterson OF Ellsworth
pleaded not guilty to two indictments,
one for breaking and entering and the
other for arson at the same place. He has
arranged for trial on the first charge
Thursday. Monday night, March 81, the
office building OF Z. w. Grindal on Water
street, Ellsworth, was broken into, an I'M
successful attempt made to rifle the cash
register, and the office was Uttered with
paper and clothing bound upon the stove
in an evident attempt to set fire to the
building, which was saved by the prompt
discovery OF the fire by Mr.. Grindal's son.
Apparently nothing was stolen from the
building, and the State relied upon purely
circumstantIal evidence to connect Pat
terson with the crime. The evidence pro-
duced was not sufficient to convince the
jury OF respondents guilt, and after be-
| ing out about seven hours, a disagree
ment was reported.
