MADISON
Madison Merchants
Victims of Fraud
TAYLOR Arrested

Madison merchants and business
men to the number of 90 were the
victims of a fraud perpetrated about
two weeks ago by G. L. Taylor, a
former Skowhegan boy. Taylor was
formerly the proprietor of a dog and
pony show which exhibited in Madi-
son two or three years ago. He came
to Madison two weeks ago and can
vassed the business section of Main
street for advertisements which were
to be in a program sheet to be dis
tributed generally in this section,
saying the show would be in town in
about two weeks. Each taker of an
ad paid SO in advance.
Taylor in his appeal to the mer-
chants said that tickets were to be
sold by the members of st. Sebastian
parish and that one-half of the pro-
ceeds would go for the benefit of the
new church which was to be erected.
This statement was backed up by
letter alleged to have been written by
FIR. j. f. Nelligan.
A few days after the collection Of
money was made, Taylor in company
chants and at Err Nelligan's request
stated that the Catholic parish would
haye' no official connection with the
matter whatever, but Taylor again
stated that he intended to give a
liberal contribution from the pro-
ceedS of the show. Vs.
A few days later some of the mer-
chants after bit of quiet investiga-
ton found that Taylor did not even
own dog show. and Sheriff John
Moores was notified. Taylor was ar
rested in Jackman and taken to
Skowhegan for trial. Four Of the
Madison merchants on the second
round of Taylor demanded their
money back and received it, but the
rest are minus their three dollars.
Rev. G. p. Sherburne of Scion was
in Madison Tuesday. taking examina-
tons prescribed by the NJ. E. con-
ference under the direction of Rev.
c. J. Brown. pastor of the Madison
church. The examinations were
given at the parsonage.

A man who spent twenty-five
