largest barge ever to come to this
port with aload of coal, reached
Hallowell, Tuesday afternoon about

close to the ebb, 1t was thought best
to- tie up there for the night. We'd
nesday morning, Captain Olaf Sven

one had entered his cabin and re-
moved the sum Of money and q pair
of glasses from his clothing. William

In reporting the circumstances of the
theft to Marshal Skehan. and was
able to give very minute descrip-
ton Of the missing member of the
crew. who had been on the barge
about a month. The Marshal got in
touch with the Hallowell officers and
with Timothy Murphy, the agent at
the Maine Central station there. Mr..
Murphy recalled having sold q ticket
for Boston to man who tailed with
Walkers description, and he also
recalled having seen the man among
the crew on the barge when he went
down to the Hallowell dock Tues.
day evening to inspect 1t. The ticket
was purchased just before the de-
parture Of the morning train No. 81,
which leaves Hallowell at about 9.40.
Mr.. Skehan at once got In touch
with. the Portland police and gave
them description Of Walker and
requested that he be taken from the
train on its arrival there. In due time
word was received at the Marshals
Office that Walker had been located
by the Portland police and was be-
ing held for the Augusta officers.
Walker when arrested on the train
at Portland was found to have some
little amount more than the stolen
s116 on his person.

Return to Mother

Complaint was made last week
alleging that the two young daugh-
ters. Elizabeth and Sadie f., of Eliza
+. Pullen of Patterson street, were
cruelty treated and the petition
asked that the custody Of the chill
dren be taken from the mother.
The case appeared before Judge
Robert A. Cony Of the Augusta mu-
nicipal court behind closed doors.
Decision was deferred and the case
was continued from day to day, I'M
til Wednesday. Judge Cony ordered
the case dismissed.
It is understood that the older
child, whose testimony was relied
upon in the court case. retracted her
story, generating her mother from
any changes whatever. The case
created a great deal of interest on
the east side of the river.

Augusta Giving Little
Support to Salvation
Army Appeal Funds

Ensign William J. Lawrence of
the Salvation Army reports that the
annual appeal for funds to carry on
the work of the Corps in Augusta
is meeting with Indifferent response.
Mr.. Lawrence made up a comprehen-
sive budget to cover the work in the
Augusta district for the coming year
and this was endorsed by the board
of directors.
1t is to be the policy of Ensign
La wrence that if the Corps Is sue
cessful in raising this amount of
money, it will no longer be necessary
to go about t. - city with a tambour-
inc every other thing. 1t is splen-
did and much needed service that the
Salvation Army is performing in
this city and all citizens should in
dictate that they are appreciative Of
their efforts by contributing in this
annual appeal. Ensign Lawrence
and his assistants will continue to
canvass the homes of the city and
the manufacturing establishments.
and 1t is to be hoped that the citi-
zens will aid them by sending in
their contribution for the work
among the poor and needy Of the
CITY.
