ed 10 arrive. We hope 10 see our hotel
well filed this season, also the other

III. ID. Littlefield has returned from
Stoneham where he has been visiting for
the past few months.
Mrs. II. NJ. c. Estes has been stopping
at J. l.. Bowker's, for the past week.
Mrs. Estes is one Of four ladies who have
had the honor Of occupying the position
Of Supreme Lecturer in the Good Tenn
plars. Her object In visiting Bryant
Pond was 10 organize a Good Templar
Lodge ia the place, but she did not arouse
any enthusiasm In the good work among
the people here. She failed 10 organize
a lodge among the grown-ups, but the
little folks responded nobly to the call.
Twenty-eight children, all ages, met
AT j. l.. Bowker's, June 2lst, who with
three grown-ups for honorary members,
were organized by Mrs. Estes into
Juvenile Temple, making lodge of
thirty-one charter members, Mrs. j. l..
Bowker being chosen BY the little folks
for superintendent of the lodge. Mrs.
Estes gave a very interesting lecture on
temperance on the evening Of June 10th.
which was very poorly attended. Ii
seems strange that the people in this
vicinity should have so little interest in
the cause Of temperance, especially the
members Of our churches. Surely, 10 lift
up the fallen and help make good honor

girls il doing the Masters work."

In ashes. His horse and cattle In the

could be given that but little help had
arrived before 1t was OF no avail. Those
who did arrive worked with will, and
considerable was saved from the house,
but his papers were all burned. Origin
Of the fire unknown.

Victor Dastou Of Rumford Falls was
brought 10 Jail by Sheriff Porter, Tues
dsy, to be held for the grand jury on
the charge Of attempted rape on girl
Of three and half years Of age.
Joseph Bossslari and wife are intelli-
gent, well educated Italians, who live
about mile and half from Rumford
Falls village on the Swain road. On
tuesday, the 18th of June, two OF the
children were playing In the road near
the house. Mrs. Bossslari took in the
younger one, as il was time for the fore
noon nap. When she came out OF the
house again. little Agata, three years and
half old, had disappeared. Her mother
went up the road calling her, and heard
her cries from behind woodpile few
rods from the house. As she neared the
woodpile, man ran out from behind II
and up the road. Following the cries,
Mrs. Bossalari found her little daughter,
and catching her up, ran in pursuit OF
the man who had gone up the road. She
did not overtske him. but followed until
she saw him meet two men in carriage
who were acquainted with him and were
able 10 identity him.
From what was afterwsrd learned, |;
appears that a stranger had come along
while the little girl was playing alone
had toled her off with some candy, and
getting her into the edge Of the bushe:
behind the woodpile had assaulted her
tearing OF part Of her clothing but not
having time 10 accomplish his fiendisf
purpose.
The little girl sustained severe fright
and Was stiff and sore from the rough
handling which she received, but for
tunatelv was not seriously injured.
Suspicion was at once directed TO Dss
tou. who had been seen In that neigh
borhood that forenoon, snd In the ali
sence Of Sheriff Porter some Of the con
stables took Dsstou 10 the Bossslar
home. Mrs. Bossalsri was unable 70
identify him positively, and he was al
lowed TO go.
Later Sheriff Porter returned snC
quietly looked up the clues, and the re
suit was the arrest Of Dastou, who Wa:
given a hearing before Judge Morrison
Monday. John 5. Harlow, county at
torney. appeared for the state, John T
Swasey for the respondent. Probable
cause was found, and the prisoner wa;
committed TO Jail, as above stated.
