Boston, who were arrested several days
ago on charge of conspiring to swindle
Mr. frank L. Brown, of Boston, will
not Dc prosecuted. ALF. Brown, who was
In Portland yesterday, says he shall
withdraw the complaint. Harding and
Blsis sold to Bro WI the right to sell a
patented washing machine in several
New England States, including New
Hampshire. In that State Mr.. Brown
found other parties with the right to sell
machine which he supposed was
covered by the patent under which he
had bought his rights. This was not
the case, ths machine which Mr.. Brown
supposed was the same as that he was
selling being made under another patent
issued to the same parties. Upon learn
ing this Mr.. Brown withdrew his
charges. Mr.. Harding was arrested at
his home here, and went voluntarily to
Boston, with an officer from that city,
accompanied by his counsel, Elgin @.
Verrill. ESQ. There Mr.. Harding waived
examination. and the facts will be, pre-
sented to the county attorney with Mr..
Browns statement that he desires to
withdraw the oharges. The coanty at
torney was absent from the city when
Mr.. Harding was in Boston, so he fur
nished bail pending the presentation of
the case to the prosecuting attorney.

Col. VIM. e. Drum mond,

Colonel William E. Drummond, one of
Winslow's Oldest and best-known oiti-
zens died, Thursday morning, at the age
Of Sc years. Col. Drummond had been
for long time a great sufferer fIom
heart disease and his death was not un-
expected.
Colonel Drumond was the seventh son
of Johu Drummond. He was twice mar
ierd, his first wife being Sarah W. Burn
ham, VINO bore him seven children. His
second wife was Ruth Hedge, and to this
second union three children were born.
All but one of the 10 children survive.
Col. Drummond was one Of the substan :
tial farmers of Winslow, popular with
his townsmen and with large circle of
acquaintance. He was always
greatly interested in Free masonry,
and used to be re yular attendant upon
the meetings of Waterville Lodge, OF
which he was an honorary member, IN
til failing health compelled him to give
up the privilege. The last time that he
attended any of the exercises OF the lodge
was at the last installation of officers.
Ths funeral will be held aU the church
at 2 O'Clock Sunday afternoon.

he came to Maine, and was for a long
time school Teacher. Later he married.
a Miss Weston, one of the well known
family In Somerset county. When son
was born, the Revolutionary soldier,
who then lived in Bloomfield (now
Skowhegan), and was a great adnirer
of Wsshington's artillery officer, named
the boy Henry Knox Baker. The youth
went early to Hallowell to learn the
printers trade. In those early days the
printers apprentice worked seven years
to learn his trade Before his time was
up, and before ne was of age. he found
part of his duties to be editing the vii
1age paper. In those days no attention
was paid to local news. 81 think, " says
Judge Baker, "that the community
would have resented it had / printed
records of their personal affairs. such as
are 30 popular in papers now.
Forty years ago Judge Baker estab-
lished the Hallowell Savings Bank, and
he is still it's treasurer and in aotiys SER
vice. Quite recently he has taken q
young man in to assist him, not because
he f1ndg 1t difficult to do his work, but
because his deafness makes 1t inconve-
nient for him to transact business with
the depositors.
Mrs. Baker, who is 80 years old. is as
smart as her husband. Her grandfather
was Lieutenant Lord, who led his COM
pany across Charlestown Neck to Bunker
II i'll under the fire of the British feet.
This aged couple do not allow the
weight of years to interfere with their
enjoyment of life. Evenings Mr.. Baker
aloud to Mrs. Baker, as he has done for
years. If they want to go on any pleas
IRE excursion they go. They started fer
the Rangeleys. without anyone to nc
company them, and took care of them
selves in all the changes of cars and
boats without much assistance from
the younger members of the party.
Judge Baker has been a prominent
man in Kennebec county for many years
Although perhaps not SO brilliant at the
bar as his brother, the famous Joseph
Baker, of Augusta, he has always had

In the early days of tho Maine law it
was very difficult to get lawyers to pros
ecute ruInsellers in Augusta. Finally
Mr.. Baker was sought. He responded,
and conducted the cases. Some idea of
| the state OF public sentiment at that
time maybe obtained from an outrage
that was perpetrated upon Judge Baker
for that very act. A local bully, backed
by crowd of his fellows, met Judge
Baker on the street and inflicted upon
him n most outrageous assault. The bull
ly was not punished, although the right
minded people 81 Kennebec county did
not forget the victim. He was made
Judge of Probate, and in that position
served many years.
Although not in active newspaper
life for many years, Judge Baker contri
butes almost constantly to the colums
of the local paper at Hallowell. Not
long ago he published an article on the
pleasant walks about Hallowell. giving
Tor the benefit Of others the results of
his observations as pedestrian.
