B. 7. Sowle is negotiating with Booth
bay boat builders for a thirty-five foot
cabin sloop, with auxiliary power OF fve-
horse gasoline engine. The sloop is
planned especially for Mr.. Sowle's busi-
ness among the islands. She will draw
five feet, and will have cabin accommo-
dations for ten or twelve persons. The
auxiliary power is not intended for speed
but merely to make the boat somewhat
independent of wind, and to enable Mr..
Sowle to bring her up to the Ellsworth
wharves at any time without waiting for
a favorable breeze. The engine will drive
the boat about six miles an hour. Con-
tracts for the boat are not made, but after
few alterations In the model first sub
mitted, Mr.. Sowle thinks that the order
will be placed and the boat built this
summer.
Morey Wiley, OF Columbia Falls, who
was sent to the State prison two years ago
from Ellsworth for burglary at w. L..
Wentworth & Co. store at Orland, is one
OF three convicts at the State prison who
are dead from drinking wood alcohol.
A pint Of the alcohol was found by seven
of the convicts who were working in the
paint shop, and they drank it. Three
OF the men died few hours later, and
two others are still in a critical condi-
tion from its effects. Wiley came to Ellis
worth with a companion in Februsry,
1900. They spent one night in the Head
| of-the- Lane schoolhouse, and were ar
rested and brought to Ellsworth. No
damage had been done at the schoolhouse,
and the boys were allowed to go. They
turned up at the house OF Alden V. Car
ter, in West Ellsworth, where they
stopped few days. A few nights later,
the store at Orland was entered, and the

at Woodruff. Kan. on the charge II con-
spring to defraud Lulu NJ Mccoy OF
Chicago, out of a farm belonging % her
in Phillips county.
1t seems that Cotfey got on a deal with
0. S Wing Of Hamburg. Ia. who desired
TO purchase a farm belonging to Lulu n.
Mccoy in Phillips county He told C0ffey
he would give aim SEQ for the farm. The
latter kne what Lulu N Mccoy lived in

He wrote the Chicago police 70 discover
her Whereabouts. They replied that her
name was not in the directory but that
thew haG placed a personal ir q news
paper stating that Lulu NJ Mccoy could
sell her Kansas farm by writing James
Comey Of Woodruff. Kan.
In due time Coffey received a letter
from a woman signing her name Lulu
NJ Mccoy saying she was willing 10
sell the farm. Coffcy went TO Chicago
to see her and get the deed to the farm.
He found that she was servant girl.
He paid her $500 for the farm and then
in turn sold it to Wing for $500.
Some time later Lsss. NJ. Mccoy. a
stenographer, who RECENTLY owned the
farm found out that deed had been
given to the place by some one else and
that II had been sold. Size had the Lulu
NJ Mccoy" arrested and swore out a
warrant for Coffey on the charge OF con-
spring to defraud her.
