very first settlers of Aroostook, having moved
from Cherryfeld to Ashland in 1888. Mr.. Dor
man with three or four others, built the saw mill

distance OF nearly a mile, through the woods, not
having team and there being no road Supplies
were obtained with great difficulty the river being
the principal means of transportation from
Pressure Isle and Tobique Mr, Dorman was the
man who notified Land Agent Mcintyre that the
ProVincials were trespassing on Uncle Sans ter
ritOry, and he used jOkingly to say that he was
the cause of the Aroostook war. In March, 1910,
having provided rough home for his family, he
moved them in by way Of Patten, the road having
been cut off as far as Masardis, thence down the
river on the ice. Notwithstanding the hafdships
of pioneer life, Mr.. Dorman lived TO see the un
broken wilderness becoming thriving and pros
porous town, and died, surrounded by his children
having exceeded his three score and ten years.
He was Granger and Mason and was buried
with Masonic hOnSrS.

seamen remained on the vessel, preferring to do
so to going ashore. Last night the wind and sea

over the vessel and the three men were lashed in
the rigging, in evident distress. Before the Watch
Hill life-saving crew could reach the spot, the
three men put off from the schooner in her yawl,
with rope made fast to the mainmast to steady
the boat by. They had proceeded slowly little

Mr.. Wilson, the newly-appointed marshal of

entire force of the marshal's Office from the chief
deputy (Col. G. w. Phillips) down, and each ap,
pointee has renewed his oath of office and filed
the same. 1t was the intention of Col Phillips to
have retired permanently from public life, but
being probably the most experienced man in this
city in the marshal's Office, Mr.. Wilson was de-
sirous of securing his services, and Mr.. Phillips
was induced to accept the appointment of deputy
as absurd to think that he could go into drug
store and take charge, with unpractced men, as
to attempt at once to run the marshaPs office with
inexDerienced men.
