Outrage at Alamoosook

BUoKsPoRT, May 2 Especially Some time
during the day Sunday, April 80, some one
at present unknown, exploded dynamite
cartridge under the dam at the outlet OF
Lake Alamoosook in Orland, tearing up a
section sixteen feet long and several feet
deep, lowering the pitch of water in the
pond from two to three feet.
1t is said that the act was the outcome OF
the long-existing trouble about the ale-
wives which go up the stream to spawn,
but have been prevented by the failure OF
the owners of the dam to provide fish
way, or rather repair the present one
which is said to be ineffective.
The affair has created considerable ex-
citement in the neighborhood.
The dam is the property of the Lock q
Sluice Co., of which A. c. Swazey, OF
Bucksport, is the principal stockholder.

Back From the South .


Ex- Register of Probate Charles P. Dorr
arrived in town last Sunday morning after
an absence of four months, spent mostly
in North Carolina. Mrs. Dorr and their
daughter Bernice, who have been in Mans
field with Mrs. W. c. Lowell, returned yes
terday, and the family have opened their
house ON Pine street.
Capt. Dorr spent some six weeks in Wilkes
county, North Carolins, in the west
ern part OF the state, making his head
quarters at Rodna. 1t is in this vicinity
that quail-shooting is at its best, and the
captain, who is an expert shot, in spite of
the lack of right arm which he lost in the
Civil war, enjoyed it to the full.
The rest of the time in the South was
spent on the coast in Hyde county, on
Palmico sound, where Capt. Dorr has a
cottage at Ocracoke. Here fishing was
the chief sport.
Capt. Dorr speaks in the highest terms
of the geniality and hospitality of the
people in the Tarheel state. He thorough
ly enjoyed the outing, and returns in the
best of health and spirits.
