DISTRESS WARRANTS.
Ellsworth's Two Collectors Must Look
After Back Taxes.

After Back Taxes.
Tax Collectors Whitcomb and Holmes
must do some lively scurrying around for
back taxes during the next three months
City Treasurer Higgins is tired of looking
into an empty treasury when thousands of
dollars Of back taxes are outstanding, and
today he is getting out distress warrants
for the collectors. The warrants probably
will be served this afternoon.
There is due from Collector Whitcomb
on the 1899 tax about 5000, and from Col
lector Holmes on the 1900 tax about
14,000. Under the warrant these amounts
must be returned to the city treasurer
within ninety days.
The distress warrant is virtually a levy
on the property of the collectors, either
real or personal, to the amount of taxes
not returned by them, and in event OF
failure to realize from the property, in the
language of the warrant, the collectors
"body" shall be seized. Thus a distress
warrant becomes very serious matter for
the collector.
There is no desire on the part OF the city
treasurer or other city officers to make
trouble for the collectors, but the matter
OF back taxes has got to a point where
forbearance ceases to be a virtue. The
warrant Of distress may, indeed, become
valuable aid to the collector in getting
back taxes by being used as lever on de-
ilnquent tax payers.

generally. He is known throughout the
State as gold democrat of the most
uncompromising kind. It's not generally
known that he passed some years Of his
hoyhood in Ellsworth. He is the son oi
Rev. w. 0. Holman, at one time pastor Of
the Baptist church here, whom older
residents will remember. Mr.. Holman
had not been in Ellsworth except to pass
through on the train for twenty-five
years.
Charles A. Phillips, of Bangor, aged
forty-five years, attempted suicide yester-
day afternoon, during ft OF despond-
ency resulting from i'll health, by throw
ing himself in front of trolley car.
The dasher of the car struck him, knock
ing him partly from the track and thus
saving him from instant death. He re-
ceived injuries necessitating the amputa-
tion OF part of his left hand and foot.
At the Bangor hospital last night dou BITS
of his recovery were expressed. Mr..
Phillips was known in Ellsworth, where
he formerly resided. He Is q brother of
Frank Phillips, of this city. His family
also resides here.
Ellsworth sustains its reputation for
furnishing the unusual in runaways. A
plain, everyday runaway, resulting in
smashed wheels and bruised heads is
SO common as to cause little comment.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Els
worth horses occasionally furnish some-
thing out of the ordinary in the way of
entertainment. The latest runaway Of
this kind took place last Friday, when
Carlton McGown's horse ran away with
spring tooth harrow. The horse ran
from Mr.. McGown's place on Washing
ton street to High street, and thence
down Beal avenue to Patrick Mullan's
place at the corner of Main street. Here
he took to the yard, and ran up on the
cellar door to look in the kitchen win
dow. The cellar door gave way, and the
horse slid down into the cellar, back
ward. Net results, broken cellar door,
broken window and twisted harrow.
The horse was uniniured.
