| There was some excitement on the
! street Friday afternoon caused by Tree
| fight between to brothers, John and Cliff
! Finch. who live on w Washington street.
| The latter was arrested on complaint OF
! the former for alleged assault and bat
terry. After Cliff was taken to the lock-
up, John, with one ear badly lacerated,
was on Main street looking for doctor
and explaining the affair to his friends.
When the affair came up before Judge
Clyde r. Chapman Saturday morning he
placed them both under 500 bonds to
keep peace, but suspended the sentence
provided they would leave the city be
tore Sunday night; otherwise he would
send them to jail and have them put at
hard labor. 1t is said the Finch brothers
all came here from Castine.
LARCENY CASES. For some time the
officers have been working quietly on
several cases of petty larceny, but re
Gently several affairs of more conse
quence have come up: one of which has
been tried before Judge Clyde K. Chap
man of the Municipal Court. George
Mathews of LIncolnvllle Beach was
found guilty Friday on the charge OF en-
tering the store of Roy Hurd at the
Beach and taking money therefrom. Mr..
Hurd also keeps the post office and had
been missing money so remained at the
store several nights to watch. tie dlI-
covered a man entering the door by the
use of key and he at once found his
way to the money drawer and was caught
there by Mr.. Hurd when he turned on the
intruder a gun and flash light. Mat

he left there and did not know he was

over TO the April term OF the Supreme
Judicial Court under $500 and was COM
mitted. Samuel Richards of Benton, aged
II wears, was found Friday morning in a
box car at the railroad depot by the
Waterman, Jesse Staples. After a stiff
fight he was placed in the lookup. Some
tobacco and cigars to the value of So to
$40 had been taken from the car. His
trial was to have been held Saturday
orning at ten O'Clock, but when officers
went to the lookup to get him it was
found that he had escaped in the nj ght,
and no trace of him has since been found.
No clue as to the person or persons who
broke into the Armory and took some of
the property of Company X. has been
discovered. The break occurred early
last week, but it was kept quiet, as it was
at first thought that the guilty ones would
be quickly apprehended. The clues LED
to no one, however, and there is still
little to work on. Several service re-
volvers, a field glass, two or three hav-
ersacks and pup tents were taken, Cap
tain Foster estimating the loss at about
$500. Entrance was effected at the back
! door to the annex.
