killed two men in Dresden during tn,
following year.
Certain tribes were more or les,
friendly with the whites, two Mohawk.
having entered the service of the for,
shortly after it was established. A
party of so braves tarried for time a!
the fort while on their way to Cam
bridge to aid our troops in the Revolu
tionary War. Captain Lithgow COM
manded the fort at this time. A cour.
house was built in Dresden in 1851, re-
lisious services for Richmond AMI
Dresden having previously been held
in the fort chapel.
In 1854 Bowdoinham, including Rich
mond, had 220 whites. 81 families and
about So houses. The entire tract was
at one time the property of a wealthy
Englishman named Ayling. In 1879 the
plantation of Richmond was annexed
to Bowdoinham, which was made :,
town in 1852, the whole section having
previously been called Richmond
Plantation. The portion constituting
Richmond Of the present time was set
off from Bowdoinham and Incorporated
as town in 1928.
The above is but a meagre history of
Fort Richmond and the hardships en-
dured by the early settlers of Rich
mond, Dresden and Perkins. A num-
Der of massacres are known to have
occurred about Swan island, the home
of Chief Kennebis. The Indians were
very warlike almost constantly and it
was with great difficulty that the little
band of whites protected their homes
against the savage attack of the toma-
hawk and scalping knife. Religious
services were held at the fort and adj
jacent points from very early period
by missionary and settled preachers.
AS all are aware, many changes have
taken place along the river since the
white man first came to dispute titles
with his savage foe. The great forests
of the Kennebec have vanished before
the onward march of higher civiliza-
ton. and the rude cabin of the pioneer
has given place to the wants of more
progressive age. The steamboat has
supplanted the canoe, and the whistle
of the locomotive is heard where the
whoop of the painted red man once
broke the silence of the primitive for
ests. The tides of the noble river ebb
and flow the same as when the sunlight
first broke upon creation, but the red
man and his hunting ground exist on
ly in "reminiscences.
A large two story house, the home OF
Captain James Hathorne, stands on the
site of the forth which played so i'm
portant part in the white mans con-
quest of the now fertile valley. Pas
sengers on any of the steamboats, that
daily ply up and down the river or
trains that are hourly rushing by might
pass the place without suspecting that
it has a history replete in thrilling in
terest, a history that is filled with the
horrors of rapine, murder and mid
night attack

Fort Rsebr,ond
As'r sssur ~

Richmond, Sept. 15.-(SpeciaD.-On
historic ground a Journal representa-
tive fingers, today. The warm after
noon sun touches with fervent kiss the
gracefully moving foliage of an over
spreading maple, and a herd of mich
cows on the island shore, opposite
Richmond, stand to their udders in the
cool waters of the Kennebec. 1t is such
an afternoon as one given to laZing
might select for restful meditation, but
the life of a newspaper man is not made
up of that kind of stuff. With him
work is the order. The scene is in
striking contrast to what the early set
tiers beheld when the red men fished
and canoed on the Kennebec, the great
highway of commerce in these closing
years of the 10Th century. Here the
native Indian fought and died for his
sylvan abode. Here the white man
braved dangers, endured hardships, and
conquered sterility for the benefit of
all mankind.
Going down the river from above the
Richmond and Dresden ferry, one
comes into full view of the site of Fort
Richmond, on the western shore, and
about one-half mile above the present
business portion of the town. The To-
cation commands a good view of the
channel of the river on either side of
Swan island and would naturally COM
mend itself as suitable site for
fertilization against attack by hostile
forces approaching from below.
A trading post, established in 1929,
by the Kennebec Company was the
first white settlement at this point The
fort was a government trading post
and has its history in connection with
the Indian wars. 1t was built in 1719,
being diSmantled by order of the gen.
eral court in 1854. In 1922, nine families
below Richmond were taken by In
dams. An Indian trading post was es-
tablished at Richmond in 1925
An expedition to Norridgewock was
started in 1724, the party consisting of
203 whites and three Indians. The ex-
petition returned after a few days
without loss. Governor Belcher visited
the fort at about this time. Four years
later an expedition to the Penobscot
iSIl tiie Ioi l, Cdpldlll I1edtH DelHS very
anxious over Indian troubles. In 1742
the fort paid tax of G34.
A party of Indians attacked the fort
in 1745. A subsequent attack was made
by Indians upon IA soldiers stationed
at the fort, great damage being done to
crops, and several whites were taken to
Canada. Samuel Goodwin of Dresden,
is credited with saving the fort at this
time.
In 1852 a party of German settlers
for Dresden arrived at Richmond.
During this year bread and pork was
given to make peace with the Indians.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Sept. 15.-Today's stock
market was extremely irregular. but
the average level of prices was lifted as
a result of the day operation. The
strength shown was very aggressive in
spots but many of the shares recently
active in the market moved scarcely at
all. The Vanderbilts were again a
center of strength. and most of them
advanced point or more in the days
trading. New York Central was
heavily dealt in and advanced IN
Northwestern and Omaha also con-
tinued their concurrent advance on the
benefits to accrue from the prospective
increase in Omaha's dividend, the en-
IRENE rise in each exceeding 2 per cent;
during the day with reaction on
profit taking. Lake Shore also was
taken in hand by the bull element dur
ing the final hour of trading and rushed
up 2h per cent. The same element was
instrumental in hosting the price OF
Pennsylvania, which has only been
listed for short time on the New York
Exchange, 33s points, the subsequent
reaction being about half. A jump of
20 points in Consolidated. Gas was also
sensational feature in the market.
The recent speculation which has GEN.
tered in Union Pacific continued the ad-
vance in that stock and benefited the
price to the extent of over a point. Kan

fest the strength which has characterized
