As B. T. Sowle and L. F. Hooper were
| driving on High street last Saturday fore
noon, when near the Beale avenue
crossing, the horse became frightened by
| train. The horse took to the field west
| of High street, going over the enbank-
ment and throwing the occupants from
| the carriage. Mr.. Hooper's right knee
| was badly wrenched, and he is still con-
] fined to the house. Mr.. Sowle was un-
injured. The carriage was badly dam
aged.

The ball game at Wyman park on Sat
urday, between the Y. M. c. A. inter-
mediate team, OF Bangor, and the Knights

by the visiting team by a score OF 10 IS.
The attendance at the game was small.

When Andrew P. Mcfarland gets his
boat stage ON the route to East Surry,
| with Roscoe Taylor on the box, the minds
OF Ellsworth's older residents will go back
to the old stage coach days. The coach is,
in fact, one of the old j. NJ. Hale stage
coaches, which saw many years service
Oh the old stage roads in this section.
Mr.. Mcfarland has had the coach thor
oughly overbauled and renovated, and
finished up in bright colors. A ride to
the Ellsworth, Bluehill and Rockland
boat in this stage coach will be pleasing
reminder OF the past.
Last nj. ht some vandals, without re-
spect for law or decency, desecrated the
memorial to dead soldiers at the monu-
ment Oh Bridge hill by rolling the pyra-
mid OF cannon balls down the embank-
| tn ba py m nj
prying the lower layer of cannon balls
out of the cement bed In which they we're
laid This act OF vandalism is not to be
lightly overlooked. An effort Is being
made to bring the guilty ones to justice.
As the balls weigh 115 pounds each, and
had been carefully laid and painted, 1t is
a matter OF time and expense to replace
them.

"The American Girl" which is billed for
Hancock hall Friday, June 13, under the
management OF Fred E. Cooke, not only
tells story which keeps the average au-
ditor in pleased anticipation, but is filled
with bright dialogue, catchy sayings and

ment. George F. Hall, who made SO
great a success last eason in the part OF
