The sad news of the death of Horace
NJ Davis of South Gardiner, was re-
ceived here, last evening. The partic-
ulars will be found on the first page
of this issue. He was n brother of
Henry Davis. who is with F. NJ. Noyes,
and had many friends in the city. The
remains will be brought here, Thurs
day afternoon, and funeral arrange
ments will be later decided upon. Mr.
Davis was member of the local lodge
of Order of American Mechanics. He
was planning to move his family to
Rumford Falls, this spring. Besides
a brother, his parents, who also reside
here, survive him.

possible that he would enlist again sAs,
a private under an assumed name. OF
course his experience as an Cff1cer
would soon be apparent and would
work TO his advantage, but promotion
in the regular army is not very rapid
and this service would not be particu-
larly alluring to a man of Lieut.. Dut-
tons ability and experience.
His best hold if he desired to re-
enter the service would be to get some
appointment to a position on a-Tegi-
mental staff, for which his experience
would well qualify him, but this. would
be impossible under the circumstances
without discovery.
So lock at the theory in any way
they may his friends do not find it
very reliable. 1t would seem more pos
sible that if he had decided to enter
army life again that he has enlisted
with the British or the Beers.
There are of course all sorts OF
stories afioat in the city. but the rare
ones that are worth following up do
not pan out very well. Nothing at all
reliable has been discovered thus far
to clear up the mystery.
Meanwhile the friends of Joseph Les
sard are also at work trying to locate
him. The suicide theory is pretty well
exploded by this time and his friends
are confident that he is alive and well
somewhere in the State or county. They
thought they had him located in Ber-
lin Falls but did not succeed and are
still looking for him. 1t is believed
that he will be hard from all in good
time

THE MISSING MEN.
No Good Clue to Whereabouts of Dut
ton or Lessard.

Another week is drawing to a close
and still there is no clue to the where
abouts of Lieut.. ]. w. Dutton and his
disappearance so far as the public is
concerned is as much of a mystery as
ever. His friends are still at work on
the search but are not receiving much
encouragement.
One of the latest theories that has
been advanced is that he has re-en-
listed in the army, but this will not
stand a very close inspection. The
thing that would doubtless have infiu-
enced him the most to take this action
would be his fine record made in the
two years he served and the advantage
it would give him in additional SER
vice. In order to take advantage of
this he would have to enlist under his
own name and If he had done this it
would doubtless have been discovered
before this. It does not seem hardly

All questions about the ability Of the
management of the Olympian games to

ternational yacht race off the,water front
of the city. was settled in an interview
between the Olympian games officials,

Several subscription papers are now
out and the stock of the Waterville
Baseball Association is selling very
well indeed. Something like 500 shares
have been sold so far and those who
are handing around the papers are con-
fident that they will be able to dispose
of 1000 shares right here in the city
very easily. The shares are selling at
their par value of 81 and the associa-
ton has capital stock of $4,000, so
the supply of shares ought to be good
for some time. Everyone connected
with the association is confident that
after the team is under way it will be
self-supporting.

sKOwHEGAN.

The prospects for a baseball team TO
represent Skowhegan on the diamond
this season are most gratifying. and low
ers of the national game are expecting
some warm contests, as the formation of
an association in Waterville shows that
the interest in that locality assures a
first class nine, and the rivalry between
the two towns last year was of the
warmest kind. A subscription paper has
been started among the business men,
and already the response shows that the
enterprise will receive most substantial
support 1t is highly probable that al
least six of last years winning team will
be secured this season. Catcher Faron.
who won so much praise for his excellent
work behind the bat, is working hard ir
the interest of the team. Dugas, who
covered centre field so ably. and the two
Sutton boys, are working In the wooden
mill. and will again be candidates for
their positions. Captain Jones, who
worked so faithfully for the success of
the team last season, and plays his posi-
ton at second base with the skill of ::
veteran, will in all probability be with us
again this year, and perhaps Parker
whose work in the box was of gilt
edged order. The gentlemanly conduct
and clean, hard work of the boys during
the entire season last year won the re-
spect of all who witnessed their playing,
and they will De most enthusiastically
supported this year. An organization
will be perfected this week, and games
