The Belfast Journal says information from
Augusta Insane Asylum regarding the in
mates from Searsmont is that Mr.. Warren
Whitaker is in very feeble condition and
Mr.. Stephen Pendleton's bodily health is
good but his mind appears to be no better.
The Journal says Mr., Stevens, of Augusta,
was in Belfast recently and drove to No. APP
pleton to investigate the postmaster at that
place, under instructions from Mr.. Bigelow,
the P. o. Dept. detective. Complaint was
made against the postmaster. Mr.. Andrew
Wentw orth, by T. NJ. Simmons. The charges
were trivial and nothing against Mr.. Went
worth was proved. The office is kept in Mr..
VS. store and is a small one paying less than
SIS per year. Those informed say that the
alleged trouble grew out of municipal affairs,
and is entirely of personal and not gen.
eral character.

He was totally dsgusted with the country.

Eddie L. Nickerson, son of Sears Nicker-
son. who lives in ward five, Belfast died

The young man was engaged in saving wood

parenty in perfect health. One hour after

The horse known as Prince. owned by
Frank Whitmore of Belfast. had a remarka-
BILE experience on Monday night. The ami
NAL was allowed to roam about in the stable,
and during the night portion of the floor
gave way making hole four feet eight inches
long and fifteen inches wide at one end and
sixteen and half inches wide at the other.
Through this aperture the horse worked its
way and fell into a hog pen beneath, and
when found in the morning was nearly dead
How a horse weighing 1000 pounds could get
through such a narrow place is very strange.
Mr.. Charles B. Morton, of Augusta, Grand
Generalissimo of the Grand Commanderv,

Young Stone, whom the conductor found
lying alongside of the railroad track in
Brooks the other day in demented condi-
ton. i. a recent graduate OF the Belfast High
school. and subsequently, a college student
1t is thought Stones trouble was caused by
over study. He was one of the brightest
boys of his class, and his present condition
is sad one. He strayed away from Mt
Hope near Bangor as has already been stated
ia the Journal. From Stones statement 1t
appears that he did not obtain food or rest
until he reached Pittsfeld, 60 hours after he
left Mt. Hope. He walked in all over IS
miles, some of the distance through four feet
of snow. He displayed great physical en-
durance.
