Der, while trying to enter Great South

The Hathorn farm company, which OPP
crates the creameries in Ellsworth and
Pittstieid, has purchased the farm OF the
late Leander Perkins at North Penobscot.
The farm is about $50 acres, with build
ings in good condition. The purchase in
cludes stock on the farm. The object of
the purchase at this time was to secure the
hay and other products on the farm. The
farm company does not intend to operate
the farm permanently in connection with
their business.
George b. Young, of Ellsworth, who
was in the county Jail on appeal from a
three months sentence in the Bangor
work Jail for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, escaped from the Jail Monday
night. Young occupied the poor de btor's
cell on the second tier, which had an out
side window. He sawed the middle bar
from this cell, and lowered himself to the
ground. 1t is probable that no great
effort will be made to recapture Young so
long as he keeps away from Ellsworth.

church to the river.
4 new victim, indirectly, OF the &C.
cident at Mt Desert Ferry, was added
to the list last Wednesday
when Miss Harriet Rolf, of Bangor, a
trained nurse who did such heroic work
at the Ferry, was taken suddenly with
congestion OF the spine, at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. |. L. Halman, where she
was visiting. For several days her con-
dition was critical, but she now seems to
he steadily improving. Miss Rolf was the
first trained nurse to arrive at the scene
of the accident, and rendered invaluable
assistance to DR.. Phillips in resuscitating
several persons taken from the water. All
Sunday afternoon and evening she Ia
bored increasingly with the injured. The
strain undoub tedly brought back spinal
trouble from which she had recently re-
covered.
