When the damage done by last weeks
freshet is footed up, it will run into the
millions. The western part of the state
escaped with comparatively slight dam
age. The Kennebec was.the highest for
many years, and the Penobscot was pretty

in any one place was at Madison, where
a jam of ice and logs carried of the toll
bridge, and a number of mill buildings
were partially destroyed. The Maine
Central Jared hard, with water, ice,
washouts and landslides. Not until
Tuesday did q train get through from
Gardiner to Augusta, and not until
Sunday night was the road open so that
trains ran to Bangor. Most of
those who attended the State Grange at
Bangor from the western part of the
state went to Rockland, thence to Cam

boat, and to Bangor by rail. Mr.. and
Mrs. A. K. Roberts Of Garland were
washed away in their house and drowned.

killed in an accident near Greenville,

bridges carried of, logs swept to sea,
cellars flooded, and other big and little
TENS of damage, it would require mnch |

THE day that Ladysmith was relieved

knew him. His name was Cronje, and his
owners were aggressive Boer sympathiz-

tooth and nail, upon CrOnje's back. In n
simple round or two she knocked him out,

his family. After that Ladysuith seemed
