CONTRACTORS ASSIGN.
Firm Employed on Winter Harbor
Water Works Job in Trouble.

WINTER HARBoR, Jan. 10 Especial -
The firm Of H. & M. E. Tracy, contrac--
tors, of Southwest Harbor, which has
been employed on the Winter Harbor
water works job, has made an assignment
for the benefit of their bondsmen on the
contract. They are G. T. Hooper, of VIM
ter Harbor, ]. T. r. Freeman and A. l.
Holmes, of Southwest Harbor.
No statement of assets and liabilities
has been made, but it is understood the
principal liability is for labor, amounting
to between 8, 100 and 81 200 and material
sufficient to bring the total liabilities up to
about $1,000.
The contractors have met with difficult
ties ON the Winter Harbor job. Henry
Tracy, the senior member of the firm, who
was personally experimenting the
work, was taken i'll, and the management
devolved upon his son, M. E. Tracy.
The completion of the water works will
require about 81 900 more, and the work
will be continued by the assignees. 1t is
expected to have the work completed in
about a month.

SWANS ISLAND ROUTE.
Steamboat Company Holds Annual
Meeting Satisfactory Showing.

Steamboat Company Holds Annual
Meetings. satisfactory Showing.
The annual meeting of the Ellsworth,
Bluehill and SWANS Island Steamboat
Co. was held at the office Of the clerk in
Ellsworth yesterday afternoon.
The same board of directors was elected
as follows: F. S. Lord, o. w. Tapley, j..
M. Higgins, C. l.. Morang, b. t. Sowle.
At meeting of the directors officers were
reelected as follows: F. S. Lord, presi-
dent; o. w. Tapley, treasurer and general
manager; L. F. Giles, clerk.
An informal report OF the business of
the company since the new organization
took hold of it ON Sept. last, was made.
This report showed that from that date to
the close Of the season, the boat had paid
the operating expenses. In view of the
fact that the bulk of the passenger and
excursion business was over when the new
company assumed management, this
showing is extremely satisfactory.
1t is the intention of the company to
resume the passenger, mail and freight
service early in April. The company al
ready feels the need of larger boat for
the freight service, and with the expected
increase of business during the coming
season, this need will become imperative.

NETTED DUCKS AT TUNK.


Edwin l.. Seymour, Frenchman who
has long lived near Tunk pond, to-day
languishes in the county jail in Ellsworth
becauss of lack OF sufficient respect for
the game laws of Maine.
For long time the game wardens have
suspected that the netting OF ducks in and
out of season was being practiced at Tunk
pond. Barrels OF ducks shipped to Boston
from the east had been seized from time
to time, the sender having left the barrel
at the freight station in the night, with no
mark to show his identity.
On recent visit to Tunk pond, Warden
George U. Dyer, of Franklin, found un-
Unstable signs that ducks had been netted.
On the shore of the pond he found where
the ducks had been baited, two spring.
poles which had been used to throw the
net over the ducks, and wire long
enough to reach from the net to blind
built near by. On the shore there were
duck feathers and blood.
From this point on the pond, a well-
trodden path led to the main road near
the Seymour house. Following this trail,
Warden Dyer saw signs where so neone
had occasionally set down q bag and at
these points there was blood.
After this piece of detective work.
Warden Dyer came to Ellsworth and OBJ
tanned search warrant. With this, and
accompanied by Warden Frank Thomp-
son, of Eden, he searched the Seymour
place, and found nine ducks, dressed, and
with heads and feet removed.
Seymour was brought to Ellsworth and
arraigned in the Ellsworth municipal
court. He claimed the ducks had been
shot by him in open time; that he had
shot them all through the heads, and he
became enthusiastic as he expatiated on
his prowess with gun.
Seymour's son-in-law, Joe Oubert, tes--
titled that he had seen Seymour catch
ducks in net on Dec. 27, and kill them
with club.
Judge Peters imposed fine of IS for
each duck found and costs, amounting in
all to about $50, and Seymour was COM
mitted to jail in default of payment.
L. F. Giles appeared for the State and
d. E. Hurley for the respondent.

LOWER DAM BOUGHT.
Option on This Property Exercised,
and Deeds Pass.

Option on This Property Exercised,
and Deeds Pass.
Title to the lower dam on Union river
this morning passed from the Ellsworth
owners to the Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co., when w. H. Burlen, of Boston,
president Of the company, Exercised the
option held on the property, and paid over
$4,000.
The option thus taken up was one given
by the Ellsworth owners of the dam to
the Boston Reduction Co., and by them
transferred to the power company. 1t
would have expired to-day, and with its
expiration full title would have reverted
to the Ellsworth men.
Mr.. Burlen came to Ellsworth this
morning, prepared to pay over the money
or the dam, and did so. The papers were
signed and delivered, and MIR. Burlen left
at noon.
The property transferred includes the
dam and the valuable mill privileges on
each side of the river.
As an indication OF the ultimate con-
summation Of the large power plant devel-
opment here, the transaction this morn
ing is encouraging.
Mr.. Burlen, when here this morning,
said he had been disappointed SO many
times when he had made statements con-
cerning the project which he felt perfectly
safe in making, that he would make no
more definite statements. He said, how
ever, that matters at present looked most
encouraging.
