On the east side of Pine Street, along
the stretch in the rear of Pythian Block
where the bank drops of quite sharply
from the travelled part of the road,
bank wall has been laid and earth filled
in. so as to extend the roadway on that
side and allow for a sidewalk continuing
from the end of the brick walk beside
Pythian Block. A gravel walk will have
to do for the present.
John r. Trask of Dixfield, who was at
South Paris few days since, had recent
IN come from Bemis, and he says that
the newspaper reports fall far short OF
giving an adequate idea of the extent
and destructivenesS of the forest fires in
that region. They make a magnificent
and imposing spectacle, and rs Tar as
having them under control is concerned,
as a matter of fact, he says, they have
never been strictly under control from
the start. The fire near Summit has
burned over some of the same territory
three times, the last time being the hot
test of the three, and in places the hre
has gone down in the ground three or
four feet. Nothing but long soaking
rain can stop the fires now.
Two men from Rumford Falls were
committed to Jail last week to await the
October term of court, in default OF
bonds of $1,000 each under which they
were placed on charges connected with
recent fire at that place. They are j. A.
Marin and Joseph r. Prince. Marin was
a member of the firm of Maloney and
Marin, druggists, recently burned out.
He is charged with causing fire to be
set in the store with intent TO defraud
the insurers. Prince is charged with
arson. At the preliminary hearing IN
the Rumford Falls Municipal Court,
Prince turned states evidence, stating
that he was employed by Marin to set
the fire. The case was investigated by
State Insurance Commissioner Carr:
Marin secured bonds and was released
on Saturday.
The Democrat had pleasant call
Thursday from Lemuel Durham OF
Greenwood, who has for number OF
years entertained the readers of the
paper with his correspondence from
that town, and who needs no further
Introduction. Having done all the farm
work possible until the drought breaks,
Mr.. Durham had started out on vaca-
ton trip to and beyond South Paris, the
itinerary of which the readers will doubt
less learn later. Notwithstanding the
fact that he is quite number OF years
past the meridian of life, Mr.. Durham is
not afraid of walking, which he says is
becoming lost art, and when on trip,
if it is more convenient to walk than to
ride, does not mind making fifteen to
twenty miles day on foot.
