Quite a sensation was caused in Eastport
Monday morning. the 23d. when 1t was found
that Millard A. jackson, fruit and contec,
tionery dealer and local theatrical agent mad
on the day before, quietly packed his trunk
and sailed away for South America. The
latter part of the week an attachment was
placed on his stock of goods, and his store
taken charge of by Deputy Sheriff kiloy. IL
was generally supposed Mr.. jackson was
about to satisfy the claim, but he evidently
had other Intentions, for he took passage
Sunday morning on the barque K. b. Peakes,
that left Eastport with a spanking breeze
bound for the Argentine Republic.
