Burnside Long of Norway was found |
dead in the city prison at Lewiston |
Thursday morning, his false teeth hav-
inc fallen into his throat and chOked him
10 death. He had heart trouble, which |
during its attacks made him short
of breath, and it is likely his gasping in
one of these Spasms assisted about the
accident. Long had been employed by |
Sheriff Tucker, cooking for the prison
ers and doing other work about the |
house and grounds, from some time in |
June until the night of Nov. LIST, when |
he went TO Auburn TO look for work |
there. He was formerly employed in |
the shoe factory at Norway. When he
was sober he was good and faithful
workman, and was liked by all. But he |
had an apparently irresistible appetite |
for liquor, which finally was indirectly |
the cause of his undoing. He leaves a |
sister in Norway, and a wife and son live
in Massachusetts.
A little diversion was afforded those |
who found time dragging Thursday |
afternoon. by the maneuverS of horse |
which was being towed to Rumford, and |
which spent an hour getting through |
Market Square. He was, as his leader |
said, green Westerner," and he did
not approve of being led behind, so he
would occasionally set back until he had |
broken something, or stopped the whole |
outfit. or both. At length, after the |
horse had reduced his halter to about
two-thirds of it's original proportions,
some new rope, little less than an inch
in diameter, was obtained, and with
this the halter was woven together and
the horse was securely fastened to the
hind axle of the wagon. A local horse
man ventured the suggestion that HE IL
tip YOU over if you tie him fast" but
his advice was declined with somewhat
exaggerated politeness. After testing
the strength of the new hitch thorough
lv once or twice, the horse seemed to APP
preciate the situation, and when the out
iii disappeared northward, was jogging
along as amiably as could be desired.
Considerable excitement was caused
among the sportSmen and Others, be-
tween I and 5 Thursday morning, by
the presence of large number of wild
geese. which were flying over, or were
in the river near the village. Several
went out after them with guns, some
to the shore near Riverside Gem
eterv, and some along the river above
the village. Although no less than four,
teen shots were fired by the several
hunters. most of them had too light
charges, and the only bird which re
manned behind was one shot by j. Z.
