SATURDAYS Football Games.

Skowhegan people had a variety
of reasons for being interested in
football on Saturday. There was a
game at Fairview park, between
local school teams, the High School
team had a game at Brunswick and
the Maine Bowdoin game was wit
messed by quite party of Skowhegan
lovers of the sport.
The Skowhegan High, had for
opponents a team from the Abbott
school of Pennington and the game
took place on the college grounds at
Brunswick, just preceding the great
championship contest between Maine
and Bowdoin. Skowhegan won, 80
to and the papers who had reporters
present speak in very complimentary
terms of their playing. Wildes and
Reed get special mention for gains
made and the plunges by the latter
player are also spoken of as features
of the game. This is Skowhegan's
second consecutive victory and, in a
way, allows them to break even with
Pennington, for they had previously
lost game to team from that town
although not the team which they
defeated on Saturday.

Fatally Injured by Horse.

Chas. Glidden, employed at the Julia
Coburn farm, now owned by Sullivan
Russell, was so severely injured last
Saturday by young horse, which be-
came frightened as he entered his
stall, that his death ensued five hours
later. 1t is not known just what &C.
Cured but Mr.. Glidden was thrown
down, as he was in the act of renew
ing the bedding, his leg broken and
body trampled upon, internal and
fatal injuries resulting.
The unfortunate man was formerly
a shoe factory employe, and expert
shoe laster, and for some time engaged
in setting up lasting machinery and
giving instructions for its use. He
came to Maine from Massachusetts
and went to work for Thos. Deane, on
the back road, about two years since.
In July last he hired out as a cook for
Roy L. Marston and party who were
engaged in forestry work during the
summer in the Moose River region.
He had been at work for Mr.. Russell
but short time. His age was about
50 years.

College Football Championship.

OF the football game played at
Brunswick Saturday an exchange has
the following:
After the Bowdoin eleven finished
it's TO- minutes session with the u. of
M. representatives on Whittier field
this afternoon there was nothing to
it but the riotous roofing of deliriously
delighted collegians of today and yes
terday-and Bowdoin championship.
Maine tasted the most bitter defeat
for years and the score, "a to B, in
dicates definitely the sort of com
parison that is deducible. There
were two flashes of spirit, aggressive
ness and ability by Maine. Others of
like nature were infrequent and of
brief duration. Bowdoin played foot
ball as If it were the last game on
earth, and as if defeat meant eternal
humiliation. This excess of zeal and
the added superiority of knowledge
produced such result as the most
ardent Bowdoin sympathizer had not
dared to hope for.
Never was such a throng massed at
a gridiron contest in Maine. 1t was
brilliant, it was enthusiastic, it was
partisan, 1t was magnanimous. Never
has such a crowd seen such a game
and never has such splendid cheering
carried the victors on to lasting glory
or tempered the pangs of overwhelm-
ing defeat 80 mercifully for the losers.
Bowdoin was given the vocal support
of thousands while Maine's gallant
band of rooters sent back cheer for
cheer and supported its begrimed
and weary warriors with loyalty
that college spirit alone can engender.
Seldom have two teams worked
harder and seldom, if ever, has a
more tolerant spirit been shown, one
toward another, than was evinced by
the partisans who crowded the
stands and sidelines. 1t was an
inspiring sight, thrilling contest,
a clean cut victory and disgraceless
defeat.

Death from Pneumonia.

Amidee King died at his home on
Leavitt street, Sunday morning, of
pneumonia, after an illness of about
ten days.
The deceased was born in st.
Ephraim, Beauce, County, P. Q. forty
one years ago He came to this town
when sixteen years of age, working
on the river and afterward as team
ster. From the condition of a poor
boy in which he found himself on his
arrival here, by his industry and the
careful outstanding of his resources,
he was able to accumulate sufficient
means to engage in business on his
own account and for the past seven
years has owned teams, doing the
trucking for the pulp mills and other
contract teaming work. He was not
ably industrious and faithful and was
much respected for these and other
excellent qualities.
He was a member of st. Mary's
Parish and funeral services were OBJ
served at that church, yesterday
morning. A widow, formerly Miss
Mary Laney, and three children,
Florence, Leger and Edna, the eldest
seventeen years of age, survive

heals, no second quality in either
uppers or soles, sewing must be done
with silk instead of cotton and the
lining is of quality of brown duck
that Is a good per cent more expen-
sive than that required for general
trade. Moreover they have to be
waterproofed and the packing done
with unusual care. They will be put
in cartons and then packed in what
are known as "solid sizes,o that is, in
cases of two dozen, all the same size,
instea d of assorted sizes as is the usual
rule. They go from here to New
York City by rail and from that point
to the Isthmus of Panama, consigned
to the Panama Railroad Company.
1t is fortunate for the Common
wealth Company, and incidentally for
the town of Skowhegan that its plant
is under the superintendency of man
With experience and versatility
enough to take care of an order of
this kind, which is quite different from
any work ever done here. Mr.. P. j.
Shanahan, who has been in charge of
the Skowhegan factory for the past
three years, had previously been at
the head of the Rice & Hutchins
works and has similar relations with
other establishments, and is ready
to produce any footgear that can be
made of leather, no matter what new
problems are connected with it.

A Government Contract.

Orders in the shoe line have not
been as plentiful recently as for some
years past and for that reason the
announcement that the Common
wealth Shoe & Leather Company are
to make ten thousand pair Of army
shoes, under a government contract,
will be very welcome news, for it in
sures plenty of business at that estab-
lishment for the next two months at
least. A substantial shipment of
these shoes must be made on Decem-
Der LIST and this has led to several
hurry up orders for lasts and material
for the Skowhegan factory, and some
heavy express shipments to this
point.
The specifications for these shoes
are of the most exacting kind. They

Sheriff Smith has Day of Ad-
venture.

Somerset's Sheriff, Clyde H. Smith,
has had a wide experience for a man
of his years, and the incidents con-
nected with his duties as executive
officer of this county have been varied
enough to keep life full of interest,
but last Sunday held some adventures
in store, which he had not previously
encountered.s
Taking Chas. Green of this place in
his auto Mr.. Smith set out for Hart
land in the morning and, on arrival
there, was advised that a couple of
the citizens of that town were intoxi-
Gated and misbehaving themselves
about the streets, greatly to the an
noyance of others and the general
disturbance of the public peace. Be-
fore Mr.. Smith could arrest them,
they learned that he was on their
track and set out for the woods. Mr..
Green joined In the chase by the sher-
IFS invitation and one disturber OF
the peace was soon in custody. Leav-
ing him with a third party, Messrs
Green and Smith CONT lued the pur-
suit of the second man, bringing him
in after a tiresome hunt, only to find
that man No. one had escaped the
guard they had left over him. Later,
when Mr.. Smith came upon him sud-
denly behind barn, he was armed
with rock in each hand. The OFF,
Ger lodged the first of these but the
second one was better aimed and
struck Mr.. Smith on the left arm.
This encounter, however, soon termi-
mated in a complete victory for Mr..
Smith and the rearrest Of the pugna-
cious but now somewhat sobered citi-
zen of Hartland.
Both the parties, whose names
proved to be William Stein and James
Scott, were now conveyed to the auto
and seated therein, handcuffed to-
gether. On the way home punctur-
ed tire came to add still furthur ad-
venture to the trip and while it was
being repaired Stein and Scott took
occasion to sneak into a barn nearby
and from the rear, despite the fact
that their movements were embar-
raised by being locked together at
the wrists, they succeeded in escap-
ing to a small patch of woods. 1t was
dark, save for the light of the moon,
but Mr.. Smith would not abandon the
place without All effort to find his men
and, with the assistance of third
party the woods were carefully gone
over, the searchers walking three
abreast and short distance apart.
This systematic procedure finally
yielded the results hoped for and
Stein and Scott were found rolled
closely together in a hollow, where
they hoped to be overlooked. They
had no idea of resisting at this time
and were soon reembarked for Show
hogan and later landed in Somerset
Jail.
At the trial, on charge of intoxica-
ton, in the Skowhegan Municipal
court on Monday both parties paid
fines which, with the costs, amounted
to eleven dollars. Both were subse-
queutly arraigned on charge of re-
sisting arrest and upon convictions
Hereunder, Scott received sentence
of twenty days in jail and Stein an
additional fine, with costs, amounted
to ten dollars. Stein paid and Scott
was committed.

generally recognized that Lohi
needs water system Othcr
towns, not so large, and with no
brighter outlook are putting in
water systems and thereby at
tracing people to make homes
there. Lehi must solve this
problem before she can offer the
most attractive inducements to
people looking for a nice home
town. While difficulty may be
experienced in finding a suitable
water source there is no doubt
but that it can be found. There
are several possible plans of pro-
coedure that have already been
proposed and which will no
doubt be thoroughly Investigated.
The city council, we believe,
should make a thorough imvosti-
CATION Of all matters pertaining
to this subject preparatory to
some definite action toward in.
stalling u water system III the
not far distant future. Let the
people by word or action give
support to the movement, so that
by united effort, Lehi may take
another step forward with her
sister towns.

City Water.

At a special meeting of the
Commercial Club held last Mon
day evening two very important
questions relative to water for the
city we're discussed. The first
was in regard to having the
city control the water used
tor irrigation within the city
limits. The second question
dealt with a water supply for
city water system.
For many years there has been
difficulty in handling the water
in the city. The irrigation COM
pany now controls the bitches
and conducts all matters pertain
ing TO the use of the water while
the city has charge of all street
crossings, which includes fumes,
bridges, etc. This dual response
bility gives rise to much alterca-
ton and sometimes to i'll feeling
" even threatened law suits.
It is the opinion Of many Of
cur citizens that this should be
changed by the irrigation com
,any's turning over to the city
tie water to which the corpora
ton is entitled, allowing the city
full control of bitches and the
distribution of water. This, il
is believed, would increase the
efficiency of the service and OF
course prevent the possibility of
litigation.
As to the second subject, ii is

Fourth of July
Celebration.

The city council having been
appointed general committee on
Fourth of July celebration arc
taking hold of the matter with a
determination of making the
celebration a Wcditable one.
There will be a meeting ofcourse,
and sports as well as special fea-
lures in honor Of the day, which
means SO much, not only to
Americans but all lovers of lib
erty and representative govern
ments in all the world.
There should be no occasion
for anyone's leaving town on
that day but there is occasion
for inviting friends from outside
of the city to come to Lehi for a
pleasant celebration.
A word of caution might here
be given as to use of fire crackers.
Many accidents of a serious ma
ture result from their random
explosions. Officers of the city
and parents would do well to
keep this means of celebrating
under strict control.
