Il noticed m article in the Kennebec

that. The fish have free access tn

years on more ago, L heard old people
say that they had see the fish coming
up the X mn % g river in such numbers
that it would look as though one could

then they have been cut off from their
natural spawning grounds by dams, as
is the case of the Winthrop ponds.
An old resident. Elisha Case of Read

his land. In the town of Gouldsboro,

Isthe Report from the Philippines Of George
Fred Doe, Formerly Of Augusta.

That George f. Doe, formerly a DO
lice officer in this city, and later res
ident of Waterville, and a soldier in
the 1st Maine Volunteers, has been
butchered by natives in the Philippines
is a report that has reached this citv
Another report stating that there is
a possibility of his not being butchered
but that he is in the hands of the Fill
pinos, comes at the same time.
The reports state that Sergt Doe of
Co. I, 43rd Regiment, was placed in
charge of the island of Samar with a
corporal and seven men. After being
on the island for seven days they We're
attacked, but We're piloted out of the
island and went to sea in an open boat,
which was capsized The men reach
ed land, but as fast as one landed on
shore he was captured and killed. Doe
and Corporal Allen were not at once
killed, as is stated by one report. but
were tied to tree and burned.
second report states that the two are
still in captivity, as the natives have
great respect for the officers. In the
meantime, hopes are entertained that
they can be rescued. The first report
comes from Private Butler, who is
serving in the Philippines, and the sec
ond comes from Sergt. Clyde Of Co. |,
43rd Regiment.
1t is learned by inquiry in Water
vile, where Does mother lives, that
she has not yet been notified by the
government of any such event having
taken place, and for that reason il is
thought possible that the stories of the
death are without foundation

WILL BUILD ANYWAY.
II Petition is Not Granted then Old Road Will
Be Bought.

1t is now a settled thing that the
electric road is to be built to Togus.
the promoters Of the road say. regard
less of the fight that is put up by the
Kennebec Central.
The fighting points of the kennebec
Central. the attorney says, are to be
that public necessity and convenience
does not require the road to be built.
since the liberties of the soldiers are
to be restricted and outside people are
not to be allowed to enter the grounds
as much as formerly and as the sol
diers have a chance to get out. ana
there is no necessity for the people to
have road to go to forbidden ground.
If this is to be the fighting point, the
promoters say they have counter

the hands of the railroad commission
ers' entirely. except that they are to
give the location in particular parts
Of the street.
The new move is this: When the
scheme to build the road was first
started the plan was to buy up the

already been fixed and was perfectly
satisfactory to the promoters of the

OLD HOME WEEK CELEBRATION.
A Beginning Made in Kennebec County. but
Augusta is SLOW.

G. S. Hichborn, the chairman of the
County Old Home Week Association.
is doing an endless amount of work in
preparation for the event in this coun-
ty. Among other things he has sent
out letters to every mayor or chairman
of the Selectmen in the county, asking
that they make preparations toward
the observance of the event. The last
lot of letters was sent out, yesterday
but he has already commenced to re-
ceive word from the different town Off
GERS encouraging him in the work and
promising to carry on the plans out
lined.
The work of getting the names of the
Maine-b born people living in other
states has commenced and in a COM
paratively short time list of the peo-
pie will be placed in the hands of the
proper authorities that the invitations
may be sent out.
Locally, but little has been done in
the observance but it is probable that
at one of the near meetings of the may
or and board of aldermen a committee
| will be appointed to act with the COM
mittee from the Board of Trade This
city is extremely fortrnat. i'll having
in the hands of one Of the citizens a
list of Augusta born people living in
other states. This list was prepared,
several years ago, when the Tooth ami
yersary of the city was Celebrated and
is still preserved, so that it may be used
again. There is much good feeling
toward the movement and only the OPP
nortunity is lacking for the citizens tc
take hold and forward any plans that
may be made.
