PROBABLY DROWNED.
Elmer S. Gross, of Ellsworth, Miss
ing from Freeport.

Elmer $. Gross, of Ellsworth, Miss
ing from Freeport.
Word was received in Ellsworth last
Wednesday OF the probable drowning at
Freeport, on Cssco bay, of Elmer s.
Gross, son OF Stephen Gross, of this city.
Gross, in company with N. l.. Harvey
on Saturday, July "a, hired boat to
go rowing down the bay, intending
to return in the evening. Since that
time nothing has been seen or heard Of
them, or OF the boat. At first it was
thought they had become lost in the fog,
but when several days passed, the belief
that they were drowned grew stronger,
and the families were notified. The Sc
lectmen of the town instituted a search
for the missing men, and many parties
searched the bay without success. Last
Sunday nearly all the men of the factory
in which Gross was employed joined in
the search.
Gross has been employed in the shoe
factory of the A. w. Shaw Shoe Co., at
Freeport for the past year. In letter to
his fat her, a member of the firm speaks
'
scientious employee, very popular with
employers and fellow workmen.
The case is particularly distressing from
the fact that the missing man has wife
and six children, the eldest aged eleven
years and the family will be left destitute.
He was thirtythree years of age and
the last remaining child of stephen Gross.

| given up all hope of ever hearing from
/ his son.
Harvey, the companion of Gross, was
also married man, his home being in
/ Lewiston.
The Sir I'owns Times, published at
| Freeport, says the boat in which Gross
skih, ten feet long, old and weather
beaten. They did not go fishing, and
told the owner Of the boat they were only
! going to the mouth OF river about two
miles away. The Times further says:
1.-The men had no fishing tackle, no cook
| ing utensils, and contrary to prevailing
rumors, they had no liquor with them"
The Lewiston Journal of Tuesday re-
ports hat the wife Of Harvey was notified
Monday that a boat answering the
description OF the one lost had been
picked up at Peaks island. This island
is eight miles from Freeport, but in the
direction the boat would naturally drift.
Mr.. Gross has not been notified OF the
finding OF the boat. A reward OF $500
will be offered by him for the recovery OF
the body or OF the boat. Gross had an
accident insurance of 5000, to obtain
which it will be necessary to furnish con-
elusive evidence of his death.

Africal Methodist Episcopal conference OF
