A hog owned by F II. Osgood strayed
out of his pen Monday evening, and start
ed to explore Main street. Ellsworth boys,
always on the alert for fun, took advan-
tage OF the opportunity. In a short time
a hundred men and boys had gathered.
The report was circulated that 1t was an
ugly boar. This added to the fun. Every
time the pig started toward the crowd, 1t
scattered. 1t must have been fun for
the hog When he got tired OF the fun
he started for his home on Franklin
street. The boys kept him company.
The fun was tame compared with the
COW chase'last spring.
AS has been reported In the legislative
reports in THE AMERICAN from week to
week, the charter for the Union River
| Water Storage Co. has been granted.
The dam owners and others interested
will meet soon to perfect organization
and lay out plans for the proposed i'm
provements at the headwaters of the
| river, SO that work can begin when the
water is low next summer. The success
| OF this project will mean much to Els
worth. 1t reflects credit on the business
| sagacity of the men interested who Joined
In bringing 1t about, and especially on
Henry M. Hall, who was the originator
and prime mover in the plan.

! Ellsworth Water Co., last week attended
| meeting OF the Maine electric men at the
Hotel Gerald, Fairfield. An elaborate

| formed State organization. During his
trip OF several days, Mr.. Cushman visited
Waterville and Augusta. AT Waterville
he saw one of the finest electric light
| plants in the State. At Augusta Rep.

Martyr Fl. Shute, of Ellsworth, was one
OF the successful competitors in the exam
ination for admission to the United
States military academy at West Point.
Out of PA who took the examination,
only 104 passed successfully, and will be
admitted without further examinations.
| Martyr is the son of Arthur Snute. He
graduated from the Ellsworth high school
in 1899, and took postgraduate course
at the same school. He was one of the
heavy men on the school football team.
He has good physique, and with little
military training at West Point, should
be credit to the academy. He will leave
Ellsworth in June. His company, 1t is
understood, will be stationed at Buffalo
during the Pan American exposition.
