CAPT. WILLIAM JAMESON, of Friend
ship, Me-, is called the Paul Revere of
the Meduncook. He received the name
in the following way: It was during
the war of 1912, and the British, with
muffled oars and under cover of dark
ness, were trying to reach and burn
the little fleet of fishing schooners at
the head of the Meduncook River,
hoping also to gather in some chickens,
eggs, etc., from the settlers along the
route. Jameson, then boy of IA,
mounted his horse and rode through
the town, giving the alarm at every
house. He then returned home, jumped
from his horse, and, catching up his
little fint-lock rife, with twenty-four
rounds of cartridges, started off on the
run across lots to join his neighbors at
Bradford's Point. The British soon
found that they were discovered, and
fastened back to their ship.

Legislature entitled 3an act to promote the

said, is being pushed in the interest of q
corporation, the owners of the only appa-

state-a total of $4,000, 600; and the cost
of extra men to keep it in order would be
at least $4,000 per mine, or 81 900, 900 am
