Fred Fernald, OF Ellsworth Falls, was
fined g and costs in the Ellsworth mu-
nieipal court yesterday, for assault and
battery committed on Michael Povich.
The trouble started in some horse play
| outside dance hall at Ellsworth Falls
Monday night, where Povich was selling
! hot frankfurters. Some young men were
''haTing fun" with Povich, when the lat
| ter, who didn't appreciate the particular
variety of fun in vogue, made threaten
| ing demonstration with a cardboard box.
This aroused the wrath OF Fernald, who
punched Povich, and knocked him down.
The yard at the Ellsworth foundry

be equipped with a sixteen-horse power
engine as auxiliary power. John w.

fitted with an eight-horse engine. The
launch will be used in scallop fishing this
winter.

The first Of two descriptive song recitals
by Frederick w. Bancroft, OF Boston, was
given In Odd Fellows hall last Friday
evening. The attendance was not large,
but those who did attend were well re-
paid. Mr.. Bancrofts subject was: ''Scot-
tish Songs and Singers" He is a charm
ing speaker, and held the attention of his
hearers throughout. To know something
about song-writers and about the circum-
stances that inspired them lends no little
interest to the songs themselves, and as
much OF such knowledge as could be i'm
parted In an hour and a half Mr.. Bancroft
impaired, interspersing his talk with the
singing OF many OF the songs about which
he talked. 1t was altogether interesting
and instructive. His second recital is to
be given on Friday evening, Nov 10, at
the same place. His subject viii be:
