Woman Wanted
for Fraud in Maine
to Fight EXtraditiOn

Portland, Me-, Jan. 21.-There is ev-
cry indication that Margaret Sterling.
CT Mrs. Robert Walters, who is want
cd in Maine on numerous charges Of
fraud, who was arrested in Omaha,
Ncb., few days ago at the requc st
Of Sheriff King F. Graham will fight
extradition to Maine. Immediately
after her arrest in Nebraska, which
was brought about after weeks OF
sleuthing by Deputy Sheriff Philip W.
Wheeler, who was assigned to the case
after it was discovered by local mer-
chants that they had been victimized,
departed for the mid-western state to
leturn the woman to Maine. The local
officers are particularly DESTROYS Of
bringing the alleged offender back to
Maine as it is believed that she mad
operated various schemes in many
sections of the State, and that the mer-
chants have been losers of goods val
ued at many thousands Of dollars.
Deputy Wheeler had the extradition
papers to present to the governor OF
the state of Nebraska duly signed by
the required officials in this State.
The papers were honored but immodi-
ately afterwards habeas corpus papers
were served making it impossible for
him to return to Maine with the pris-
oner. 1t was the contention of coun-
sci for the woman that they were not
fully satisfied that the papers which
the deputy presented were genuine.
Telegraphic information by County At
torney f. Robinson, the Portland
Chamber OF Commerce and Attorney
General of Maine Ransford w. Shaw.
was Immediately forwarded, but there
will be no decision on the matter un-
til early next week. when the Judge Of
the court of Omaha can give the mat
ter his attention.
Every day new evidence is being re-
ceived of schemes that have been
worked in New England whereby mer-
chants have lost large sums Of money.
While in Portland the Sterling woma 4
is alleged to have represented that
she was directing the affairs Of toy
manufacturing company with offices at
so Exchange street.

DR.. Charles J. Bragdon has been
appointed postmaster of Gardiner
and the appointment sent to the SEN
ate for confirmation. He has as yet
received no official notification of his
appointment.
To many the appointment comes as
a surprise but the shrewd politicians
of the city now see their prediction
come true. DR.. Bragdon was the first
man in the field and consequently
had large following.
When Arthur Z. Smith was ap-
pointed as acting postmaster some
months ago the appointment came as
surprise as he was not candidate
for the office. Many felt that the
appointment would in all likelihood
be made permanent but when Con-
T, gresham Peters resignation took eff
feet and no permanent selection had
been made it looked rather doubt
full. Since holding the office he has
made for himself an enviable record
and many friends Failed to his sup
port. The political influence Of the
city was in favor of DR.. Bragdon
hence the appointment.
DR.. Bragdon is a dentist, we'll
known through the city and county
lie has served as Mayor of Gar
diner for one term of three years, un-
der the Commission government and
declined to run again. He has been
an active factor in politics and has
served several years both as secre
tary and chairman of the Republican
city Committee. At present he is
chairman of the Republican COUNTY
Committee. His many friends feel
assured that he will give the public
of Gardiner good service in his new
| office.
