Northport parties, to Harry Fl. Wood, o
Surry. Frank w. Leland, OF Mt. Desert
has bought the remaining three-quarter
| OF the schooner "Nspoleon" of which he
already owned one-quarter.
| The distress warrants served by the late
City Treasurer Higgins on Tax Collectors
Holmes and Whitcomb for the 1899 anc
| 1900 tax, are returnab BILE this week. These
warrants were really hree-months ex.
tension Of time of warrants previously
issued, the collectors complying with GER

1t is understood that the present warrants
will be allowed to take their course.
The Ellsworth men who are at Sourd,
nahunk lake taking spawn for the Green
Lake fish hatchery, are feasting on
moose steak. Thrilling stories are being
told Of an encounter which one of the
men had recently with bull moose. One
report is that Winnie Moore, who had q
lively tussle with deer a short time ago,
was treed by bull mooee for several
hours. Another story is that he met five
moose In wood road, and the animals
made Rough Riders charge upon him.
He escaped by taking to tree. Later
one of the party shot a bull moose and
the camp is now well supplied with fresh
meat.
ing Monday afternoon, elected j. A. Cum
ningham city treasurer to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of N. H. Higgins.
This prompt action was made necessary
by the fact that the distress warrants
served by Treasurer Higgins on Tax-Col-
lectors Whitcomb and Holmes expire this
week. The vacancy in the school board
caused by the death of Mr.. Higgins
probably will be filled at meeting of
the aldermen to be held next Friday. The
vacancy in the board of aldermen prob
ably will not be filled, as a special ward
election would be necessary, and only a
little over three months more OF the
municipal year remain.
Colonel Greenleaf Austin Gooodale,
18th U. s. infantry, who expected to
sail from San Francisco for Manila Nov.
/, to join his regiment, has been detailed
to organize and command the new dis
charge camp on Angel island, harbor Of
San Francisco. About fifteen thousand
men, whose terms of enlistment Sare
soon to expire, will be received, cared for
and honorahgy discharged at this camp
during the ensuing six months. Colonel
Goodale probably will not return to the
Philippines as his regiment will no doubt
return to the United States during 1902
He enlisted In the Buckport company of
the 9th Maine May 7, 1861. He visited his
old comrade, Charles P. Dorr, in Els
worth recently.
