Had Visited Pound at HarpsweIl.
Messrs. E. c. webber and H. B.
Hamilton, fish dealers at Chebeague
came very near their finale in the
storm of Monday night. They had
visited a mackerel pound at Harps-
well Centre going in a Is foot ~ h.
p. boat which had been bought for
local work between Chebeague and
Littlejohns. About 200 pounds of
fish were loaded on at the pound and
the pair started back over the course
OF about six miles at 7.30 p. m. The
shower and squall struck them of the
Goslings about third of the way over
and after that their boat took all
their attention. The only way to keep
her alive in such a sea as was soon
running was to keep the engine going
and face the storm which had gath
cred such force that the little boat
could barely hold her own against
1t. Barrels of water came in every
few minutes and the two were forced
to bail for their lives. At last when
they thought they were sure to found
er the rain ceased and a quiet moon
came out showing raging sea, but
safety ahead for the boat. When
they landed at Hamilton's at about 9
O'Clock they were met by Ernest HILL
man. who had decided to start after
them in one Of VIM. Trufant's % foot
launches. with little hope he said of
hnding them afioat unless they had
put ashore on one of the small is
lands This they said was impossible
as the thick blackness shut out every
thing from sight. The mackerel were
saved. probably because there was not
time to throw them out.

The 'World-beaters" of Freeport

Aug. 2. and for six innings 1t looked
as IL they would be Dustin beaters."
II was finally decided that Bustin's
was too far out in the Bay to be
classed with the world of the main
land. The game was very attractive
for the summer fans. with plenty Of
hits, errors and exciting minutes when
the result hung upon particular
play. Mr.. Hosmer's fine umpiring
meant a clean snappy game. The
most striking feature to a spectator
was the frequent changes on the
Bustin's team. Suspicion was rife that
they intended to use all the male pop
ulation OF the island and try them
out In all the positions. The attend
ance was large and enthusiastic.

polls Tuesday last will have any
effect or whether it will have 10

in two years from now.
The cutting of the republican
majority of 10000 two years ago
to a virtual even break this year is
not democratic victory, but one
due the liberal minded. fair play
republicans of the state. The
credit and honor is theirs, and
heirs alone. The man who i'm
mediately after the state conven-
lions was for Harris, but permit
ted himself to be whipped irto
line for Hoch. has no political
opinion of his own. Nothing in
the way of argument was present
ed, to bring this about, except
party regularity, which is as poor
an excuse as the dollar loving
citizens Of Leavenworth and
Atchison offered.
Not a candidate on the Demo
cratic state ticket was candidate
for nomination when the conven-
ton met. Every one would
have been better satisfied to have
been left off the ticket. but hav-
ing been drafted, they went into
the campaign the best they could,
and made fight for their platform
and their ticket, without funds,
against a magnificent party Or
ganization and any amount of
money necessary to win. We
consider it one of the greatest
honors ever accorded us to have
been one of the runners, even
though we went to defeat, and
not unexpectedly either. To the
people of Barton County republl-
cans and all we extend our thanks.
