FIRE AT GREEN LAKE.
John Mcdonald and Family Turned
Out of Their Home.

A two-story frame dwelling house
and additions. located near the railroad
at Green Lake station, and owned by
the Maine Central Railroad Co, was
destroyed by fire, Friday. 1t was occu-
pied by John Mcdonald one ofythe sec
ton men, and his family.
The fire originated about the Chin
ney, evidently, and burned between the
plastering some time before breaking
out, when it was discovered. 1t had
gotten such Roadway that the neigh
bors who gathered to fight the flames
with their buckets and water brought
from Green lake, saw that it was
doomed and turned their attention to
the furniture the greater portion of
which was saved.
The house was valued at $1,000 and in
all probability will not be rebuilt. 1t
was originally purchased by the Maine
Central as a home for the foreman of
the section, and having provided one
elsewhere for himself ii is not neces-
Sary.

trout, II Of which averaged exactly
four pounds each. The largest trout
trirpcd the scales at J:i pounds. The
fish were on exhibition at iynch's mar
ket on Exchange street, Monday,
where they attracted much attention.
This is one of the nandsomest catches
ever made at MooSehead and several of
the guides at GreenVille said that they
had never seen a prettier mess of fish.
Nearly all of the fish were caught near
the mouth of Beaver brook on Sugar is

made up Of Charles f. Edmonds, Rob-

Wiley landed a 90 FOUNDER on Mon

hoping that this may be taken as AN
indication of better luck during the
present week.
The wea Their, the anglers say, is the
probable cause of the poor fishing at

complete change of wind. They say it's
time that some more fish were taken
| and they all mean to be on hand when
the salmon begin to bite again.
Taken altogether Sunday was an
Overgood day for the fishermen who
visited the nearby lakes and ponds.
Some parties, however, had fairly good
luck but most of them returned with
