night, at Council Bluffs, Ia, overpower-
ed Jailer George w. Martin. locked him
and wife in a cell, and made their es-
cape. Martin was delivering the even-
ing meal to the prisoners when they at
tackled him. Mrs. Martin heard the
scuffle and secured a revolver, which
she undertook to give to her husband.
The prisoners prevented her doing so
and took the weapon from her. They
then secured the keys and made their
escape.

Cony- WaterviIIe Game, Today.

Cony High and Waterville High will
meet on the College field, this after
noon. 1t is generally believed that this
will prove one of the hottest contests
of the year in the Interscholastic
League series. Waterville has defeated
Cony on her own grounds but Cony has
protested the game on account of some
methods that were Objectionable to her.
The schools are very evenly matched,
Cony having one of the best teams in
her history.
Cony is planning to come up with a
large crowd of supporters on a regular
train and then charter a special for the
return trip to avoid waiting for the
Pullman. The Waterville enthusiasts
will turn out in force. The city has
taken much pride in the showing made
by the team. this year, and wants to
see it win this game. Augusta has
taken equal pride in her High school
team and wants it to win the game. so
there you are, everything favorable for
a red hot fight. If the day is pleasant
it will be one of the great base ball
events of the season.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Starts Small Fire and njures Peter
Fortier, Perhaps Fatally.

An alarm of fire was rung in from
box 50, at about lips, Thursday fore
noon, for q blaze in the parochial
building in the rear of the Catholic
church on Elm street. The fire itself
didn't amount to anything, but Peter
Fortier, the plumber. received injuries
that it is feared will prove fatal.
An extension is being built directly
in the rear of the old parochial build
ing which is used as quarters for the
nuns who teach in the parochial school
and for school purposes. The extern
sion will be connected with the old
building, and Mr.. Fortier was at work
in the northwest corner of the base
ment of the old building on the pipes.
Part Of the walls at this point have
been removed and everything was torn
up and open in the courses of the con-
struction and remodelling. Mr.. For
tier was at work on a sewer pipe, re-
moving the lead packing of a joint,
and using the gasoline hand torch
such as all plumbers handle in their
trade These torches are not consid-
cred dangerous by those who are ac-
customed to them and accidents from

ly and unless all signs fail, the road
will be built as soon as the necessary
legal steps are taken. In CONVERSE
ton with the leading men of this place,
Waterville and Oakland, and the people
living along this line, it seems to be
the unanimous opinion that it will
supply long felt want. for both BUSH
ness and pleasure. The men inter-
ested in this enterprise are all resi-
dents of the towns interested, with
plenty Of capital on hand, and it is
safe to say that the road will be built
at the first possible moment, and will
be one of the best built and best
equipped of any of it's class in the
State.

FLOURIsHED LONG KNIVES.
Seven Polanders Jailed for Threatening
B. E. A. Trainhands.

Seven Polanders who threatened the
crew OF freight train No. 60 on the Ban
gor & Aroostook with knives Tuesday,
We're brought to Bangor, Wednesday
night, by Deputy Sheriff Bragdon of that
town, and lodged in the county Jail. The
men will serve 80 days each. having beer
sentenced by Trial Justice Storms.
On Tuesday, the foreigners boarded the
freight. which was south-bound, at Ash
land Junction, and shortly afterward
they were discovered by the trainmen,
Polanders drew long knives from under
meath their coats and threatened to use
them unless they We're allowed to re-
main. The men comprising the crew were
entirely unarmed and after holding n con-
sultation they decided to let the ferociOus
foreigners remain where they were for
the present.
When the train reached the next sta
ton a telegram was sent ahead to Dep
uty Sheriff Bragdon at MillinOcket in
forming him of the situation and asking
him to be at the station when they should
arrive. The message reached its deSti-
nation in due time and when the freight
drew up to the station at Millinocket the
burly form of the deputy was seen on
the platform.
Deputy Bragdon has served his time as
turnkey at the Bangor Jail and as guard
at tine Maine State prison at Thomaston
and during the years of his service he has
been in many a desperate struggle. The
seven Polanders, armed though they Were,
proved no match for the officers and with
in few minutes after the train came to
standstill. they were all prisoners and
on their way to the Millinocket lookup,
where they spent the night.

them are rather rare. But there was
some trouble apparently with the one
used by Mr.. Fortier and from the re-
suits that followed it seems to have
exploded, throwing the burning gas
oline over him. The nature of the
work he was doing is said to have
placed him in an awkward position
so that he could not escape easily. But
whatever the exact conditions were or
the precise cause of the accident, he
received horrible burns.
He was hurried down town in a team
to find DR.. Boyer's office just as rapid
ly as possible after the accident. 1t
was found on examination that both
hands and arms. neck, head and face
had been terribly burned. The skin
that had been touched by the fire came
off in flakes. His hands and face, be-
ing unprotected. suffered severely. and
he lost nearly all of his hair. DR.. J.
F. Hill was called to examine his eyes
and throat. but found that these were
not seriously injured. He had not in
hailed fire enough to do serious dam
age.
But the burns. being extensive and
severe, are considered very serious.
DR.. Boyer stated, Thursday afternoon,
that he doubted the recovery of the
injured man. Mr.. Fortiers condition
at that time was critical and it was
feared that the injuries would prove
fatal.
The accident started a small blaze
in the basement where it occurred and
an alarm of fire was rung in. The
bay team. which had been at work on
the streets. was just going to the
stable for dinner and made splendid
run with the hook and ladder truck,
the black team going first with the
hose cart. Two lines of hose We're
wet. but no water was used, the chem-
calls being sufficient. Considerable
smoke found its way all over the
building. but the only damage will be
from this. The scholars in the school
We're handled without difficulty and no
accidents resulted from the excite
ment.

NO NEW CASES.
Smallpox Situation Is Being SkiklfulI>
and Properly Handled.

The smallpox situation was discussed
informally at the city government
meeting, Thursday evening, and salts
factory reports were received from the
Board of Health. No new cases have
developed since those last reported.
There are now eight patients in the
hospital. but none are considered in a
dangerous condition.
Sanitary Inspector Bean of Augusta,
visited the quarry with his fumigat-
ing apparatus, Thursday, and thor
oughly fumigated one room at the
boarding house which has been locked
since the removal of a suspect some
days ago, and has also completed the
work at two houses where there have
been cases of a mild character. This
operation serves to lift the quarantine
from these houses and two more will
be released from the ban, today.
An encouraging phase of the situa-
ton is that no known cases have been
contracted from these cases which
have been isolated by the rigid quar-
antine of the past two or three weeks.
The expenses are now said to be $50
or more daily. The city council views
the situation with satisfaction. They
consider that proper measures are now
being taken by the local Board of
Health, and that any failure to accept
the situation will promptly meet with
the disapproval of the State Board.
The State Board sanctions present
measures and in the event of inability
or lack of inclination in local sense.
would not hesitate to re-establish and
carry out present methods-at the
cityS expense.
