coming down Chestnut street with his
fast horse. when just as he turned the

horse started to run, dragging Mr..
Wells, who hung on to the reins along
TIE ground. Mr.. Aldrich saw the dam
ger and ran out to stop the horse.
Selling the bride he tried to stop him
The weight of his body pulled the horse
over onto him. and before he could get
out of the way he was borne to the
ground under the horse, which partly
rose to his feet and fell back onto the
pcstrate form three or four times.
Others soon took care Of the horse, and

Waterville Is Interested.

The financial affairs Of Randolph G..
Surbridge, who is now reported to be
missing from Boston with a big list of
debts left behind unpaid, is of especial
interest to Waterville for it is under
stood that q lady who was formerly one
OF the city's most prominent citizens
and whose husband recently died, has
been left practically penniless by the
transaction. The exact particulars
have not been learned as none of those
concerned are now in the city. 1t is
rumored. however, that the lady was
induced in some way by Surbridge to
place all her fortune in his hands for
management and that it was involved in
the crash.
Surbridge is somewhat known here,
having visited in the city and having
been a classmate in the Harvard Law
School of one of the local attorneys.
Oh account of these connections the
case is attracting much interest here.
and every one in the city would be
pleased to learn of Surbridge's capture
capture and adequate punishment if he
is guilty of the charges against him
The lady in question may be assured of
the sympathy of her many friends here
if the reports of her loss are true.
Many others are apparently involved
and it is rumored that Surbridge was
cutting considerable of dash just be-
fore his departure. According to the
stories it is another 200 per cent. scheme
in which the Waterville lady became
involved through inexperience in finan-
cial matters.
