DISGRACE OF A HEARsE.
A Lapse in Decorum Since Which Nobody
VIII Consent to Use It.

A Lapse in Decorum Since Which Nobody
VIII Consent to Use 1t.
HOLDEN. Me-. March 3.-This town is the
owner of a hearse that Is out OF a Job. II Is a
good hearse, only six years old. clean. bright
and as good as new; but in spite OF Its appa.
rent attractiveness and In spite OF the fact that
IL cost the town $3.50. IL has not carried a cof-
fin or led a funeral procession for moro than
four years.
Until five years ago TWAS the most popu-
lar and widely employed hearse In northern
Hancock county. and was hired by people in
Eddin.ton. Dedham and Clifton. One day the
driver. having taken n body to Brooklin for
iIterment. saw n chance to turn an honest dol
lar by bringing back a load OF salt fish. Then
the trouble began. The fish didn't harm the
hearse any. and the hearse didn't hurt the fish,
but when the story got out the Usefulness Of
the hearse was gone Those who had friends
to bury sent 70 Bangor, ten miles away, and
paid SO or SO for IA hearse sooner than have
the local hearse for nothing. The town had
the hearse newly painted and varnished, hop
ing to remove the prejudice. but the fish story
held on. and the village boys threw stones at
the hearse house TO show their contempt. In
a wear or SO the feeling against the hearse be-
wills thar their heirs should be disinherited in
case the, testators were carried to the grave in
the Holden hearse. Those who didn't wish to
ing that their bodies should be conveyed in a
hearse from Dedham or Bangor. These wills
were filed in the probate. office In Bangor, and
before the p~roperty could be divided the heirs
were Obliged to prove that the requ est regard
ing the hearse had been fulfilled.
The affair has caused no end Of trouble and
iaDsed the feeling Is stronger to-day than il
was five years ago, This spring there Is an
article In the town warrants to see II the town
Mill vote to sell the ~hearse." 1t will be adopted.

Thursday morning was found hanging
by the neck in the basement of Lock-
harris stables, 1915 Eleventh street.

to sleep. He was known as George"
by the stablemen and his surname
KinZley-was found in an account book

cine he had received from the County
Dispensary. 1t was supposed that the
deceased worked on ranches through
out the country, though where was not
known, He was a German, about 40
years of age, and told one of the en-
ployes of the stables that he was I'M
married.

was fimsy affair, evidently having
stretched under his weight. He was in
poor health and the evening before the
body was found told some of the wit
nesses that he could neither eat nor
sleep.
The jury brought in a verdict of sui
eide, in accordance with the facts here
tofore given.

of violating game laws has been before
Police Judge where there was so
much influence" brought to bear as in
this. When the man was convicted ev-
cry conceivable effort was made to
have the Judge impose the smallest
fine which is 500
When the Judge pronounced sentence
he stated that the pull and the
push" had done everything possible to
get the fellow let off lightly, and even
one of his brother Judges had come
down from the bench to influence the
Judgment. Judge Treadwell said that
if the market hunters are encouraged
to violate the law by the market men
it will be only short time before all
of our native ducks and other game
will be exterminated. The only way to
put stop to this unlawful business is
to make the violators of the law feel
the full force of the same. Therefore
he would impose a fine of $50 upon
Mitchell. Judge Treadwell said that
he would deal out the full measure of
the law in all such cases. Mitchells
fine was the heaviest ever imposed here
for such an offense.
