THAT CLOTHING,
The Mystery Unravelled.

The PRESS, Saturday, spoke of the discovery
OF bundle of woman's clothiug between
Saco and Alfred Thursday The mystery
was soon solved, however, by the discovery,
by small boy, OF young woman wandering
about within two miles Of where the clothing
was found. The boy at once communicated
the intelligence to the family of Horace Burke,
who resides close by where she was found,
who went after her and brought her to their
house. The facts in the case as far as known
are as follows: On Wednesday Cyrus Brock
and his daughter of Lyman, started for Old
Orchard on pleasure trip. They drove along
the beach until they came to Ferry beach.
When they arrived opposite the Park, the old
man wheeled the horse and drove into the
water, where the tide was running pretty fast
He and the daughter appeared to be quarreling
which was suddenly terminated by the girl
pitching backward into the water. She was
quickly pulled out by the spectators and put
aboard the wagon, when they started for home
They got as far as Raccoon Gully on the
Alfred road, when, according to the girls
story, the old man tipped her out and drove
home. leaving her standing in the road

THE CONTROVERSIES PLOW
The New PIow Ahead at the Trial at
Saccarappa.

Saturday afternoon there was another trial
OF the Cameron-Estes pillow, Oh the land of r.
& C. King near Saccarappa village. The soil
was very dry and light with the exception of
very little, where it was cayey, The soil be-
ing light loan, was not well adapted to exhib-
it the special merits of the Cameron Estes
plow, which excels all other pows in its
action in hard, tough, clayey soil, where other
plows show heavy draft. This was shown at
the trial at Cape Elizabeth one week before,
when the soil ploughed was of the above de-
scription, and when the Cameron best, showed
draft when the Fairbanks standard dyno-
mometer was attached of almost nine hum
dred pounds, and the Cameron Estes of but a
little over five hundredpounds 1t was the CEN
eral opinion of the farmers attending the Sac
carappa trial of the Cameron-Estes pillow. that
it would have worked much better in very
much harder soil.
