He1 bert Ellis was considerably shaken

The lower staging on the Granite
Works wharf was the scene of the ac
cident and it appears miraculous that
the two lives We're not sacrificed. The
trouble was caused by the breaking of
the iron eyeets in the shears the guys

very heavy and allowing them to fall
to the stage. 1t happens that Trask.

but not to a great extent. Ellis sus-
tanned only nominal injuries but will
be laid up some days with a dislocatcd

been killed. DIR. Packard attended Mr..
Trask and DR.. Milliken was called for

The schooner Francis Goodman w2s

more than commenced for the day
when the accident occurred. The coal

Work was suspended after the accident
for the day. Mr.. Trask was removed
to the home of Thomas j. Jones. the
contracting stevedore and Mr.. Ellis
was taken to his own home. Mr..
Trask was suffering much pain. last
evening, as his injuries are admittedly
very severe.

Search fer Harry Perkins Abandoned.

Search fer Harry Perkins Abandoned.
Sheriff Clyde H. Smith told the
Journal Wednesday morning, that he
had received word stating that the
search for the missing Hartland man,
Harry Perkins, had been abandoned.
The searching party was headed by
the deputy sheriff in that town, A. F.
Buker, who arrived home. Tuesday
night, without finding any traces of
the mar.
From late information it appears
that Perkins became separated from
his companions at the camp either in
the plantation of Kingsbury. which is
in the county of Piscataquis. or on
the edge of that plantation in Somer-
set county, in the plantations Of
Brighton or Mayiield, or in Bald
Mountain township. There are two
feet of snow in that vicinity and to
continue the search would be useless.
1t is possible that he may have
sought shelter before the storm in some
disused numbering camp or a vacant
sportsman's lodge or he may have
reached a numbering camp and is safe
with the crew, waiting an opportunity
10 come home, but such a chance is
considered most remote
Sheriff Smith feels most keenly the
affair as he was well acquainted with
Perkins. He states that in his opin-
ion the missing man must have met
with some accident. 1t is possible
that he was accidentally shot with his
own rife while following the deer
whose tracks he discovered week
ago Tuesday afternoon. near the camp,
as stated in the Journal. Wednesday
morning, or that he was shot by other
parties who were following the tracks,
being mistaken for a deer. 1t is a
most mysterious disappearance and
casts a gloom over the village where
he was so we'll known.
