Sentence Of Four
Months in, Jail in
Case Of Larceny

Dominique H. DUDE, Formerly Of
Lewiston, Pleads Guilty to Charge
of Stealing an Overeoat, and Court
Makes an Example of Him-Addi-
tional Cases
To the end that some of the petty
larceny that is being carried on IN
Augusta be stopped at once, Judge
Robert A. Cony at the municipal
court recently made an example of a
GENDER in a case in which there was
not the slightest doubt of the mans
guilt. To the charge Of stealing a
woman's overcoat valued at about s25,
Dominique II. DUDE. formerly of
Lewiston, pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to serve four months in
the county Jail.
The complaint was made by the
owner of the overcoat, Mrs. Margaret
Solue who resides on Oak street. 1t
appeared from her testimony that
DUDE went to her house one evening
the early part of this week to call
upon a young lady whom he claimed
to know as she was related to him by
marriage. Mrs. Soule told him that
the young lady was out and he went
away.
A little later it was noticed that
Mrs. Soule's utility coat, which was
hanging in closet at the head OF
the stairway. had disappeared, and
in half an hour or so the young lady
saw DUDE wearing the coat on Water
street. He went into local restau-
rant, leaving the coat across the
counter, and she followed him in.
She accosted him and he said
Hello" and quickly turned and left
the room, taking the coat with him.
He then went across the street into a
was minus the coat He had put the
coat on one Of the hooks in the res
taurant. it was learned later.
The next day, DUDE was reported
as being at the races which 'ere
being held at West Gardiner, and he
was brought to this city by a police
officer. He did not have the coat
with him. but stated that he thought
that it was in the possession of one
Of the two fellows who were with
him. He could not remember the
names of the young men.
Dube's only defense in the case was
that he did the act while he was I'M
der the influence Of liquor. He re-
membered that he had been drinking,
but said he could not remember of
taking the coat. He did not deny
that he had been seen with it in his
possession.
1t is understood that the respond
ent had a court record in Androscog
gin county for an offense Of similar
nature He has been following up
some of the fairs this fall in the
State, conducting a midway conces-
sion.

sprightly dresses as are pictured here.
The frock at the left includes a

conspicuous affair that plays only a
small part In the composition Of the
dress. The tunic and bodice divide

to many ages. Crepe de chine and
ribbon make the elegant hat that
comes last in the group, although It is
the brightest star in this galaxy. The
faille ribbon so cleverly used to form
the brim is in a darker color than the
crepe de chine crown. A very hand

NEW BREEDS OF LIVE STOCK.
Columbia Sheep Are Particularly
Adapted to Range Conditions
New Type of Horse.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture is developing types Of live
stock believed to be more useful than
some now represented by present
breeds.
Range sheep bree ding conducted in
Clark county, Idaho, is resulting In
a type which has become so fixed as
to warrant its classification as breed.
These sheep, known as Columbia
sheep, are particularly adapted to
range conditions and are believed to
be profitable both for mutton and wool
production.
A new type of American utility
horse is rapidly being established, in
cooperation with the state. at Buff

istics of the type possibly entitled to
the term 'breed'-are activity.
strength, endurance, and reasonable
speed. The horses are believed to
meet demand for general farm and
ranch work, delivery purposes, and
for certain classes of military serv-
ice.
Poultry breeding at the bureau
farm, Beltsville, Md, shows progress
in the establishment Of a new breed
Of fowl. Certain characteristics, such
as white plumage and yellow legs and
skin, are now well fixed, but there is
still considerable variation in the type
and in color Of eggs. The birds de-
veloped this year show Improvement
over those Of year ago.

of dainty vestee OF lace and mar
row velvet ribbon laced across the
front are the means by which the
bodice rivals the tunic.
A dark and light color are used to
make the sprightly dress at the right,
and ribbon plays star role in It's
composition. Taffeta ribbon with
fancy edge makes the side plaitings
that are emphasized on the tunic by
placing them on a light-colored back
ground, which might be of crepe de
chine. The slip-on bodice, with double
frill of plated ribbon about the waist,
has short sleeves heightened by means
of the plated ribbon and finished with
o tie of narrow ribbon. The same
ribbon forms a girdIe with half
wreath of little blossoms set across
the front. Nothing more original or
prettier has made its appearance so
far than this useful frock, but it has

of feed at breeding time upon the size
of the lamb crop have shown an In

the effect of running sheep in perma-
