a Factor In
SPENCER POLITICS
Authoritative Statement
Made to Spy Man.

Spencer, Feb. 24-"I wish the Spy to
state that I am out of politics. So
spoke Isaac D. Achim to the Spy man
this afternoon. shall have nothing
--anore to do with them whatever. 1
am out of the political world. 1t has
been before stated that 1 am an aspir-
ant for the Office of assessor. This is
wholly false. I am not an aspirant for
8, the Office of assessor or any other
town office. l am perfectly satisfied
without holding any town office.
These statements will come to Spen-
Ger people as a surprise, as it has been
generally thought Mr. Achim was work
ing his point for town office. AL
though Mr.. Achim is interested in the
welfare of the town, he will neverthe-
less give up politics. Mr.. Achim is a
staunch hacker of 7. J. Condor for the
office of selectman, and has been an
active worker in his behalf, but will
now withdraw from the campaign, and
leave the political field entirely.
About o'clock this morning Spencer
was the scene Of a very exciting run
away. The cause of the excitement
was the large bay horse owned by
Denis Arsenault, the Chestnut street
butcher. While the driver Alfred Ar
.senault was in house on North street
taking orders the horse started to run.
Down North on to Main street he went
at a terrific pace.
The horse continued down Main
street, and when in front of the post
office the sleigh came in contact with
Arthur Sagendorph's sleigh. Continuing
down Main street he swung around
Wall street corner; down Wall on to
Mechanic, then on TO Chestnut, stop
ping In front of the market as if moth
ing had happened.
