Gold Thieves
Busy in Dentists
Offices in City /.

Gold Valued at $45 Stolen from OFF,
ces of DR.. w. L. Smith, /. L. DOL
liver and w. G. Thomas-Attempts
Made to Enter Other Dentists Of
fees
Gold thieves were active in the city
on Saturday night and in two of the
dentists offices gold to the value of
$40 was stolen. On the doors of some
of the other dentists offices We're the
marks of the jimmy where the noe
turnal visitors had made unsuccess-
full attempts to gain admittance. The
thefts We're reported to the police who
are at work on the case.
DR.. Warren L. Smith whose office
is at 243 Water street, was the heav-
lest loser. The marks of the Jimmy
on the door of his office We're very
plain. The lock was forced and gold
valued at abotu $50 was taken from
a drawer of his cabinet. None of the
instruments were taken.
The thief or thieves also paid visit
to the offices of Drs. l.. L. Deliver
and Walter G. Thomas in the Mason
ic building, gaining admittance by
forcing the lock on DR.. Delivers door
with a Jimmy. Gold to the value of
about SIS was taken from DR.. Dolli-
ver's desk, and the visitors left a
small Jimmy on the desk. None OF
the instruments in his office were
stolen. Just what was taken from
DR.. Thomas office was not learned,
as DR.. Thomas is out of the city on
his vacation. The desk and cabinet
in his office were forced open. The
thieves evidently made no attempt to
enter the office of DR.. Day in the
same building.
Jimmy marks on the doors of the
offices of Drs. Hutchinson and Hodg-
kin sand DR.. Paul A. Cyr in the Pur
ington building. showed where at
tempts had been made to enter those
offices, but the locks held firm. DR..
o. H. Brann, also, noticed a mark on
the door of his office at 206 Water
street, which looked as if q try might
have been made to enter there, but
the attempt was unsuccessful.
1t is thought that the thefts are the
work of a certain class of thieves
who make a speciality Of gold from
dentists offices and who work from
cit yto city. 1t was reported that a
number of such thefts We're made in
New Hampshire last summer. The
breaks in Augusta were probably all
made on the same night, Saturday
night. On Sunday morning. DR.. Hut
Crimson noticed on his door, marks
whore the Jimmy had been used and
then reported the matter to the police.

An illustration Of the danger of
young boys catching rides on auto
mobile trucks, was noticed Monday
afternoon near the corner Of Bridge
and Water streets. Antonio Silver,
the young son of John Silver of this
city. was sitting at the rear end of a
auto truck driven by Fred LeClair,
his presence there being unknown to
the driver OF the truck. The driver
stopped the truck just before COM
ing to the corner and then at the
signal given by Traffic Officer o. B.
Hunnewell. started ahead. The
truck started with a jerk that threw
the Silver boy headlong to the street.
He was taken into Coughlin's drug
store in a rather dazed condition,
but very fortunately he sustained no
injury other than a bruise on the
forehead.
