was in Ellsworth Friday and Saturday
making arrangements for the early start
ing of the Trenton and Bayside route,

Register Of Probate c. P. Dorr is the
luckiest fisherman in Ellsworth. While
others were travelling over miles OF coun-
| try to lake or stream, and meeting with
Indifferent luck, he dropped into E. M.
| Moore's market, and from the little plat
form at the back OF the building, dropped
line into Union river. He caught a
three pound trout. Just before landing
this fish, he hooked another about the
same size, and after playing him half an
hour ana practically killing the fish, lost
him in trying o lift him from the water
| without landing net. Stories are COM
mon of fishermen who have caught their
| fish at the fish market, but Mr.. Dorr did
not use silver hook. This is not the
first trout ever taken from the river here,
but it is the handsomest.
