SON of Mr.. wendell sturgis Drowned
i'm the SacO.

Harry, the oldest boy of Wendell Stur-
gis of Bonny Eagle, was drowned on
Friday afternoon about 0 clock. He
with two younge err brothers were playing
on the logs in the river above the rap
ids which are made so by the broken dam
just below. He slipped into the rushing
current and his brothers tried to rescue
him but were in danger of being drawn
in themselves, when he told them 'to
let him go, for they could not swim and
he could" So they released their hold
and the swift waters took him down the
river He tried to get out just below the
rapids onto a ledge but slipped hack IN
to the water again When he got near
a log he trisd to get upon that and lifted
himself up so the boys saw the pockets of
his vest when he either fell back or the
log rolled over and threw him back and
he went down for the last time. The
smallest boy gave the alarm while the
elder remained to see if his brother
would come up again, but he saw him no
more and could only tell those whoJ came
where he saw him last but his body has
not been recovered. His uncle, Herbert
Sturg1s, Is q professional diver. lie wa S
at Steep Falls when he heard the news
and came home Immediately, arriving
about eight O'Clock and was searching the
bottom of the river until about ten
O'Clock.
Harry was very smart boy for his age.
He would not be eleven years old until
next August, but he did the greatest
part OF the chores on the farm, milking
work while his father worked on the riv-
er driving logs. At the time of the acci-
dent his father was at Salmon Falls with
a drive, but was soon home when they
sent him word. The parents have the
sympathy of the entire neighborhood, as
the little fellow was favorite through
out the place.

SHORT OF POLICEMEN.

The police officials are complaining
that they haven't enough officers to do
the duty required in this city in the sum
mer season. There are three vacancies
in the force from death, two men now
off duty on account Of sickness and two
under suspension, There are not enough
regular special officers to keep the beats
filed up as they should be and some of
the patrolmen are doing the work of two
men. At Union station in the day time
with dozens of trains arrivin and de-
parting it requires at least two officers
on hand all the time and only one can be
spared for this work and he has large

OBITUARY.
HENRY P. DEWEY.


Last Friday morning, June goth, this
long resident and wen-known citizen
of Portland passed away from earth at
his late residence on the Eastern Prone
made.
Mr.. Dewey was born in West Hartford,
Conn, in 1880. Bereaved of his father
in childhood, he went to Lubec, Me-, at
the age of nine years, to live with his
uncle, the Hon. jeremiah Fowler, a prom
inent and thriving merchant of.that
place. 1t was in the employ of his uncle
that Mr.. Dewey laid the foundation of
his successful business career.
At the age of 10 he was put in charge
of branch office in his Uncle's extensive
business. Often the writer has heard Mr..
Dewey speak in grateful and admiring
terms of his Uncle Jerry, who was the
father and friend of his youth and whose
memory he cherished with all the affec-
ton OF a son.
In 1851 Mr.. Dewey was married to Miss
Amanda @. Patterson, by whom he had
two children, Mrs Elizabeth II. Merrill,
who resides in this city, and Capt.
George w. Dewey, who died at sea in 1884.
Their mothers death occurred in 1859.
In his early manhood Mr.. Dewey &C
quired a large political influence in
Lubec as a staunch Republican. From
1861 to 1865 he was U. S. deputy collector
of Passanaquoddy. During those years
he was personally active in raising the
quota of soldiers from the town Of Lubec
for service in the Civil war.
Resigning his Office as deputy collector
in 1865, he removed to Portland and be-
came partner in the shipping business
with Jacob S. Winslow. whose sister he
had married that same year.
During a period of % years, in this bus
mess connection, Mr.. Dewey established
for himself a high reputation as a saga
cious, honorable and successful merchant,
governed in all business relations by a
fine sense of commercial honor, and by
principles of strict business integrity.
Mr.. Dewey was a man of warm sympa-
thies and of a characteristically benevo-
lent nature. AS a lifelong Republican
in politics, he was never party bound.
Positive in his ideas and convictions and
independent in spirit, he ssvas politically
influential, yet entirely witho am
bition for office.
His death win be greatly mourned by
a host of people in our city and through
out the state, especially in Washington
county, where, in his early manhood he
was widely and favorably known.
He leaves a wife, two daughters and
three grandchildren, all residents Of Port
land.
The funeral services took place Sunday
afternoon at 2.3O o'clock at his late resi-
dence No.6 Eastern Promenade, the Rev.
A. II. Wright officiating. Amid the
soft radiance of the midsummer Sunday
afternoon, his earthly tabernacle was
lowered to its quiet resting place in Ev-
ergreen cemetery.
