town of Buckspoit has an annual sum of
$1,000 Cor support of worthy poor. This sum
is derived from fund bequeathed to the
town by Fisher Ames Spofford, who died
N 1877, leaving the town $11, 800 as a nucle-

murder case is that Mrs. Miles, the woman
at whose house the victim lived for 10 years
prior to her tragic death, can't be found.
Mrs. Miles left Bucksport several months
ago and has since been living in Boston.
Recently Mrs. Miles daughter died in Bos-
ton and the body was sent to Bucksport for
burial. Mrs. Miles did not accompany it.
1t was supposed that she was living in Bos-
ton all along, but recently, when endeavors
have been made to find her, they have re-
suited in nothing but DISAPPOINTMENT. Many
people in Bucksport and in Bangor, though
they make no accusations of crime, think
that Mrs. Miles knows more about the
murder than she has tod--if not by her
own observation, then through others "
