On Thursday morning as Bowman Cooper
was driving down the hill near Brittle gully,
the breeding Of the harness gave way letting
the wagon on the horse, which ran and threw
Mr.. Cooper out iniuring him quite severely,
as he struck on his head.
VIM. Perkins, son of the late Geo. W. Per-
kins, arrived on the boat Saturday morning,
to visit relatives here in his native place. He
has been away from Hallowell about sixteen
years, most of the time engaged in the lum-
Der business in Michigan City, Ind.
The cotton factory shut down Saturday
night, not to start up again till the latter part
of August.
Friday, p. NJ, City Marshal True arrested
four young fellows, two from Gardiner and
the other two from here, for disturbing the
peace and abusing their horse. With three in
the carriage and the other one on the horses
back they did some pretty reckless driving.
They were before the municipal court Satur-
day morning and fined SIS 90 each, and costs.
The cherry crop is a failure in Hallowell

The mate in retaliation grabbed a hammer
and struck Hurley in the face, knocking
him dow n after which he Jumped upon the pros
