Bill Jones Saved the Boat

was footed at intervals. In order to

of the way If they should strike shore
too quickly to back off. The case was
beginning to look hopeless. and there
were no signs Of the fog lifting, when
there came from the northeast a sound
like dynamite splitting rock. 1t was
followed by another and still another,

was no gentle little racket that re-

CALF MADE TROUBLE,
Two Men Have a Row and Both In
iured.

| County Attorney Leigh has begun an
| investigation of row which occurred
| in Mt. Vernon, Sunday last. 1t seems
that a man named John Henry Stain
| lives on a small farm in that town and
with him resides William Hackett. The
farm was the property of Stains
daughter who is dead. Her husband
| Fred Dolloff, is administrator of her
estate, but allows Stain to live on the
place.
Sunday there was trouble at the
| farm, and it all came about on account
of a calf which Dolloff claimed was
| his, but which Hackett insisted be-
| longed to him. Dolloff drove to the
farm to get the calf and found no one
| there but Hackett, Stain being away
| from home. He was accompanied by
d man named Whittier, though the
| latter did not stay long enough to see
| the scrimmage Dolloff caught the
calf to take it away with him and then
| went to the barn to get his horse which
he had hitched there.
Hackett claimed the calf was his, it
having been given to him by Stain as
ne alleged, and when Dolloff went into
the barn he followed and the row be-
gan. There was no other person pres
ent but the two participants and the
stories told by each differ as to which
one struck the first blow. At all events,
the row occurred, for both men were
pretty badly used up Hackett came
out of the fracas with three broken
ribs, while Dollott sustained a severe
cut on the head and another in his
right wrist.
Hackett says that Dolloff came at
him with a sled stake and struck him
in the ribs. He took the stake away
and hit Dolloff over the head. On the
other hand, Dolloff says Hackett struck
him first with the stake and cut his
head Then he took the stake away
and gave Hackett a severe drubbing.
Since Sunday Hackett has been con-
fined to his bed on account of his in

1T COSTS YOU NOTHING.
Bowditch g. Webster Will Return Your
Money if Mi-o-na Does Not Cure
You.

There are many people in Augusta
who were not the least bit surprised
when they read in the Kennebec Jour-
nal that Bowditch & Webster are SELL

the money in case it did not cure. The
marvellous dyspepsia remedy will cure
the worst case of Indigestion, head
ache. dizziness or the general played

suffering with stomach trouble.
Mi-o-na does not simply relieve; it
cures. Bowditch & Webster can tell
you of many we'll known people in
this city when this remedy has re-
stored to health, often after they have
tried many other methods of treat
ment with little or no benefit.
No other dyspepsia remedy has made
so large a percentage of cures as Mi o.
ma. 1t is so nearly one hundred pei
cent. that Bowditch & Webster stands
ready to refund the price to any Gus
toner whom it does not cure.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer. Anc
there are hundreds in Augusta today
praising Mi-o-na because 1t curet
them. A few months ago they coult
eat nothing without "ohoeiihS
the result would be. Since using MI

THE SPELL BROKEN.
Cony Easily Takes Watervi||e
Into Camp, 16 to Il.
Timely Work With Stick Wins The
Day for Home Team.
Visitors Were Observation-Disclosures
Errors on Both Sides.

The hoodoo that has been lowering
around the High school team for the
last few weeks was fairly routed at the
Augusta Driving park, yesterday, when
the lads from Cony won out from Wa
terville High by the comfortable mar
gin of 16 to IL.
In spite of the threatening weather
and the murky looking clouds that
hung low in the vicinity of the park a
lgoodly number of spectators were pres
ent to lend the boys a glad. hand oc-
OCCASIONALLY. as a brilliant play by some
member of the team merited it.
Although the game itself was a slug
lying match in which the team with the
strongest stick work was bound 10 win
out. and although there were a multi
| tude of errors that were inexcusable,
the contest was not by any means de-
void of interest. If the spectators who
attended the game, yesterday. expect
ed to see professional ball they were
disappointed as they should have been,
| for. in interschOlastic games of this
| sort, there must necessarily be errors
many of them and a certain amount of
loose work and going -to-pieces at
times. and Thursdays game was no ex-
Iception to this rule. But if the crowd
was there to lend their encouragement
to the boys of our High school in addi-
ton to seeing some exciting ball, they
must have felt repaid, for Cony won u
creditable game.
Cony's success lay in the ability to
bunch it's hits at critical times when
with men on bases, good single
meant scores. This they did time and
Iagain. At the bat, however, both teams
were prominent and the game was in no
ways a pitchers battle.
Conv took things in hand in the first
inning and kept the lead throughout the
remainder of the game.
AS customary the visitors went to the
bat first. Getchell was the first man
up and was promptly disposed of on a
ground ball to Bither Farnham was
lout on an infield fly to Pullen, Cony's
pigmy short stop, who by the way
made his stellar debut, yesterday, and
was a pronounced success. His catch
of red hot liner in the sixth inning
when Waterville had three men on
bases. and his throw to second making
one of the prettiest double plays ever
game. The next man up was Mason,
who reached first on StammS error.
Strong quickly retired the side, how
ever, by knocking grounder to
Stamm. who threw him out at first
The first was busy inning with
Cony. Kinsman, who heads the batting
| list. reached third on Winters error

Little put a long fly out to Mason III
deep center and Kinsman sprinted
home on the put out. Bither flied out
to Colby, and Pullen in his turn reach
ed first on Hoxie's error. There was
nothing more doing in this inning fol-
the home team as Tuell was disposed
! of, O'DOnnell to GetChen.
| In the next two innings neither team
scored. but in the fourth Cony struck
q happy combination which netted hel
four runs. Pullen was the first mar
up. He picked out a choice one ant

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure dea fness. and that
is caused by an infiamed condition of the

When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and the tube restored to it's

A party of Augusta gentlemen will
leave for New York state, Monday. for
the purpose of viewing several water
fltering plants on the Hudson river,
the objective point being Albany. The
|fltering of impure water so as to make
lit 80 per cent pure has been perfected
by processes of comparatively new
nature and it is thought that an eX-
animation of the work done by these
filterers will benefit the city of Au-
gusta. The Hudson river is the recpt-
acie of the sewers of the big cities
which line its banks, and if there is any
impure river water anywhere it is in
this river. and yet tits claimed that the
filtering process in use at Albany
makes that water almost perfect. so far
as the humiliation of bacteria is con-
cerned.
