born in Westmore. The limb was
not amputated:
Edwin Sanborn, a mail carrier be-
tween Barton Landing and Hunting
ton. was accidentally shot in the leg
recently by a companions gun so
that amputation was necessary.
The creamery meeting was well at
tended Saturday and a committee
will this week solicit subscription for
stock. The next meeting will be held
on Friday afternoon next at 80.
Let the farmers all attend. 1t seems
to have come to that in the matter of
dairying that about the. only hope'in the
line of success is the building of butter
and cheese factories. So great is the
oleomargarine curse, which effects all
butter business and throws ordinary
dairy goods into competition with the
tallow-b butter, that the building of
creameries is an absolute necessity.
Next meeting to be held at F. W.
Baldwin's office.

There was a difference of opinion
between the selectmen and trustees
of the village relative to whether the
incorporated village district was en-
titled to free use of the road ma
chine in working their roads. 1t was
finally agreed that it should be left
to Judges Ross, Button and Oliver,
as arbitrators. After quite a lengthy
hearing at Irasburgh, the judges de-
cided that the village was nothing
more or less than a highway district
with enlarged powers, and that it was
entitled to the use of the machines
in common with other districts of the
town without charge. We suppose
their decision applies to the Landing
district as we'll as this.
On Monday afternoon last as Geo.
w. Jenness was blasting rocks on
his Owen place, charge of eight
inches of powder which he was lamp
ing in exploded breaking the rock
to pieces, blowing the tamping iron
into the air and filling Mr.. Jenness
hand with powder brick and fuse
He was knocked over by the concus
sion and rendered insensible for the
time being. Coming to himself he
found that the Frenchman who was
helping him was caught by the foo
in seam in the rock which had OBJ
ened by the explosion. Help arriv
ed and the man was liberated, no
severely injured. Mr.. Jenness can
not account for the premature
explosion; he was carefully doing
the work and had it nearly finished
Fortunately the force of the powde
was not sufficient to "blow OUT til
It's force was partially expended il
opening the rock, otherwise he woul,
doubtless have lost an arm or hi
} life. His face and leg were consid
erably injured and the hand badl,
cut up, but he will be ready for bus
mess again soon. Mr.. Jenness i
made of India rubber, iron an
grit and nothing but genuine deaf
will ever kill him.
