Serious trouble has been threatened
at North Vassalboro by striking Italians
on the Wiscasset, Waterville and Farm
ington narrow gauge railroad. The

considerable hard liquor was slowed
away by the strikers, who became quite

his wife, who for eight weeks had suffer-

"After using the Pain Balm for few
days my wife said to me, Il feel as
though born anew and before using the
entire contents of the bottle the unbear.
able pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and hopes

July 10 is announced as the day of
opening, for the season, of the public
house c.Pieasant Mountain House'o on
the summit of Pleasant Mountain, and a
dainty illustrated booklet descriptive Of
the house, of the mountain and of the
circumjaeent region has been issued
The outside of the front cover of the
booklet has small picture of the house,
and that of the back cover one of the
mountain, the illustrations in the body
of the booklet being as follows: "Pleas-
ant Mountain House," "Parlor Us #. K
81 ft.)," Dining Room 81 #. 40 #. y"
"Office nc #. 81 fly, "Train on the
Narrow Gauge" pheasant Mountain
and Moose Pond" Road at Foot of
Mountain" "A Piece of the Road" "a
Halfway Point" and Mountain Aqua
House lat base of mountain)." In speak
ing of "the terrific battle between the
forces of Capt. John Lovewell and the
Indians" known as Lovewelfs Fight, the
scene of which desperate and bloody en-
counter, is in distinct view from the
summit of the mountain, the booklet
says that 'at the first volley of the
Indians, from ambush, the gallant Love-
well and eight of his men fell dead, with
two wounded" This statement is not
correct. Rev. Thomas Symmes's His
tory of Lovewell's Fight (which was
written only few weeks after the bat
tie took place, and which is the best ac-
count of it extant) says, in speaking of
the opening of the battle, that, when the
whites and Indians ''came within few
yards they fired on both sides, and the
Indians fell amain, but the English
(most, if not alD 'scap'd the first shot"
Ut may be said, however, that in the
early part of the battle Capt. Lovewell
and eight of his men were killed and
three wounded) 1t is stated in the
booklet that on the part of the whites
1.-The total casualties-killed, wounded
and missing"-were twenty-five, but
that number is too large by one, the
casualties of all kinds aggregating
twenty-four. The booklet says that
Fryeburg was named for Jonathan
Frye, who was chaplain to Capt. Love-
wells expedition, who was MORALLY
wounded in the battle, and who persisted
on the retreat and was never afterwards
heard of, but this statement is also an
error, Fryeburg having been named for
Gen. Joseph Frye, to whom the territory
embracing the town was granted 81
years after Lovewelrs Fight took place.
General Frye's father, John Frye,
was cousin to the chaplain.
