The WALDO HOSPITAL. The Waldo
General Hospital is doing good work and
proving its usefulness every week. There
are five cases in the hospital now, and the
three private rooms are engaged for next
month The hospital is supplied with
everything needed in emergency cases and
has had great success in treating them.
The italian brought there at the point of
death from knife wound in the neck has
fully recovered and will leave the hospital
next Saturday. A recent case was that of
E. Evans of Waldo who had part of the
thumb and three fingers of his right hand
badly crushed in machine. In connection
| with the hospital is a training school for
nurses and one of the students has so far
advanced as to be sent out on a case.

A HORSE THIEF WANTED A very
| elusive horse thief is supposed to have been
perambulating Waldo county of late and
to have visited Belfast last week Percy
Bickford of Oakland disappeared from that
| town last April with horse and carriage

much wanted man. The team was found in

| bought the outfit from Bickford, but that
| did not satisfy the authorities of Oakland
and they started Constable Damren out in
quest of the thief with something like
"dead or alive" instructions. The constable
| has had a merry chase, including fruitless
| quests in Augusta, Albion, Freedom, Bel
fast and Oakland. When Bickford was re-

thorough search of the city, but if the bird
had been here he had flown. At Freedom
