Many OF the young people OF Brooklin
and vicinity remember Milton Tibbetts.

Brooklin as his legal residence, and from
childhood never failed to spend the sum-
mer at the old homestead here. His
friends here will be glad to know of his
success as young attorney He has been
offered and has recently accepted posi-
tion at good salary in Detroit, Mich. ss
attorney for the Packard Motor Car Co.,
and will move to Detroit with his family.
The company has million dollar factory,
and makes only the finest cars ON the mar
ket at cost OF 1900 and up. Mr.. Tib-
belts will hold responsible position in
the Arm, and considering that he is only
twenty-sevsn years old, 1t shows that they
must have considerable confidence in his
ability.

Died in Lawrence, Mass, March Is,
Austin E. Freethey, of Brooklin, aged
ffty-one years, ten months, twelve days.
Mr.. Freethey was born in Brooklin and
except about three years spent in Law
renee, he spent his life here in the same
home in which he was born. He was the
youngest Of twelve children Of Alfred and
Melinda Freethey.
When about twenty years Of age he
went to Lawrence, working with his
brother nearly three years. There he met
Miss Julia Jordan, OF Orland, whom he
married in January 1873. They had two
children one son, Minard, and daugh-
ter, Grace. His wife and children, two
brothers and seven sisters survive him.
His brothers and sisters were all present
at the funeral, except Edward, brother
who resides in Casper, Cal. The sympathy
Of all goes out to the family.
Mr.. Freethey and his daughter spent the
winter in Yonkers, N. Y, with his
brother, Alfred E. Freethey, OF that place,
and on their way home stopped at Law
renee to visit his sister. Mrs. G. W. Smith,
and was there taken down with pneu-
monia and died in about ten days. The
remains were brought to Brooklin for in
terment, the funeral being on Sunday,
March 81, under the auspices OF the ma
sonic lodge Of which he was an honored
member. Rev. A. W. Bailey officiated.
Mr.. Freethey was a man Of excellent
character, strict integrity, sound judg-
ment and great intelligence. He was a
deep thinker and keen discerner OF
human nature. He was kind, faithful
husband, judicious and indulgent father,
an excellent neighbor and true friend,
and welcome visitor at the bedside OF
the sick, who were so often cheered by
his genial presence and helpful words.
He will be greatly missed in the commu-.
nifty. He had been repeatedly elected to
the Office Of selectman, and his honesty
and probity OF character were unques-
toned. HIS sound judgment was often
appealed to by his neighbors in business
matters.

 At sunset on the day before the feast all Ieavened bread was re- moved promptly. The feast is then started by prayers. thanksgivings and readings. The evening feast is one of great joy. The principal of the house presides and tells the story df the exodus.
 The greatest care must be taken ia the preparation of this matzos or unleavened bread not to get any foreign substance in it.
 In later years bakers have been using modern machinery for knead- ing the dough and mixing the flour in such manner that it may be rolled out between cylindrical rollers of the required thickness and dimensions at short distances from the oven. Rabbi Frisch has prepared special service for Fri day evening at the Temple and the Sunday school children are to be entertained after the services in the Sunday school room.

MAY BUY TWO
 ENGINES FOR CITY

There is q movement on foot which has met with general favor, it is said, among the councilmen, to purchase two modern fire engines for this city to give the property owners protec- tion until there is something done to relieve the present inadequate water service The plan is to buy the en- zines and several hundred feet of hose for each In the event there is a fire in the downtown districts or any part of the city adjacent to the Arkansas river, the engines can do great service in furnishing water and pressure. The hose can be thrown into the river and as strong pressure as is wanted pumped by them. The city could at all times use the en- zines in case of breakdowns at the water plant.
 A special meeting of the City Coun- cil has been called by Mayor Cald- we'll for tonight. It is stated that the council will discuss the inade- quate water conditions and devise some plan for the immediate relief of the situation.
