VKRGE>NEs-PRoBABLE DROWNING Ac-
! cIDFNr.-Tho skiff of the missing boat
builder, Francis Better, was found near
Basin Harbor BY a couple of men from York
State, who came to the harbor last week.
When found the boat was bottom up and
contained three oars which were so placed
under the seats that they could not fell out.
The parties took the boat to York state and
advertised it, whence it was returned to
the family OF Mr. Better, reaching here on
Monday. The bow and stern were some
what worn. probably by friction on tho
rocks near the shore. No farther traces of
the missing man have been found, and it is
considered almost certain that he must
have disembarkei from the tow when
opposite the mouth Of Otter River and about
a mile out On Lake Champlsin. The pro-
prIetOr Of the Fort Cassin House says the
tow passed about eight o'clock in the even
ing and the lake was very rough. the
white caps" rolling high. Ii Better left
the tow he must have been drowned before
he was probably unobserved by the passen
ger i'll the canal boats and he sank to his
grave alone.
Two men were arrested on Saturday for
being drunk on the streets. They were
locked up in jail, where they remained till
Monday morning, when they disclosed on
one Ryan. who has Just entered into the
liquor traffic lie was hauled up and his
fine and costs amounted to Si2 50.
A fine black horst, belonging to the livery
stables of 7. B. Smith, Of the Franklin
House, died Tuesday night. The horse is
believed to have been poisoned. Another
horse was taken Tuesday evening and every
effort to extract the poison from his system
is being made. The veterinary surgeon who
attended the first horse gives it as his opin-
ion that the animal was poisoned.
