Newport, Me-, July 15-(SpeciaD-
This village is experiencing something
of a sensation this week. Not one of
the common, everyday kind but one
which if the facts all came out would
cause something of a commotion in the
upper crust of BangOr's society.
Whether or not the end of the affair has
been reached yet is not known but at
one time it looked very much as if it
had merely begun and that the end
would come in the courts.
The story Of the affair, minus the
names. is rs follows: Tuesday afternoon
Il man accompanied by Il very fashion
ably dressed young lady appeared at
on of the local hotels where the young
lady remained while the man went up
town and rented of +. NJ. Deering one
Of his fine cottages on the shore Of

back and with the lady was carried to
the cottage.

the first had no right there. Things
We're finally arranged satisfactorily

Everything seemed quiet until
Wednesday morning when a third lady.
slightly older than either of the other
two appeared ut the hotel and began to
Ply the proprietor with questions. She
discovered that the man and the two
women We're at the cottage and then
she too made her way thther. People
who SAW her when she reached the cot
tag say that there WIS something do
ing In q short time she with the
other women and the man came back to
the village where they came to the
hotel and then the war was COM
m'nced. THE third woman claimed the
man vas her husband and that they re-
sided in Bangor. She seemed To be
nearly wild in her anger and the talk
that she gave the other two females is
INV " INV II tIitS W III itii- Ifliltl1iDtl
The man was not at all spared
and came in for lis full share Of the
Ealing down."
Finally the woman seemed to have

oilcer and entrcat"d him to arrest the
man, saying that h. was her husband
and had deserted her. going off with
tile ether women. This the officer
could not very we'll do without a war
rant ANA the woman refused to swear
out the doCument. She finally stopped
bcr talk and after going to the hotel
WIcr" she Informed the man that it
WAS not the last that he would hear Of
il She took the train back to Bangor.
The Liam and No. | and No. returned
to the cottage where they now are.
Several Bangor parties have been here
of lat" and have beer doing some little
detective work in trying to establish
IN" identity of tn" women hut as yet
none of them have succeeded. The

the Decring cottage have moved to
other parts of the lake. The outcome Of
the affair will be watched with much
