County Attorney
Argues With Fists

Prosecuting Attorney Garrett and
G.. H. Adkins, of West Sound, had a
fist fight in the smoking room of the
steamer Islander Wednesday after
noon, Mr.. Adkins who is much the
older and smaller man, getting con-
siderably the worst of it physically.
Witnesses of the affair say that the
two men became involved in an angry
dispute about some business matter,
in the course of which Adkins called
Garrett id liar" and also ap-
piled to him certain other extremely
oppro5rious epithets expressive OF
his uncomplimentary opinion. Ad-
kins frankly admitted having pro-
voked the scrimmage and added that
he himself had derived considerable
satisfaction out of telling Garrett
what he thought of him. 1t is not
expected that the prosecuting attor-
ney will prosecute himself for assaul..
He might, however, have Adkins ar
rested for provoking one. There are
some epithets which even . public
official charged with the duty OF en-
forcing the law cannot reasonably Do
blamed for forcibly resenting.

morning big deer attracted by the fire

restless movement of one of the horses
causing him to bound off into the forest.

Judge Neterer, of the Whatcom

principal of the Bellingham Normal
School, R. c. Higginson, a prominent
business man of the Day city and hus-

ago. Judge Neterer IS junior grand

Be Raised.

- ]ourned Wednesday as board
OF equalization until Aug. 20, when
they will finish the equalization of the
l9o1 assessment roll and then consider
a number of road matters "and also
the matter of the official census and
classification OF the county The as
SCISSORS enumeration of population is
said to total about 4, 200, but it is the
understanding of the commissioners
that this number includes several
hundred fishermen who are merely So
]ourners for few weeks and not in
any legal sense residents of the
county. If the actual population of
the county exceeds 1000 the salaries
OF most of the county officers will be
materially increased. The county
attorney would be the largest benefi-
ciary and would receive $500 a wear
for his services instead of $4OO as at
present. The salaries of the auditor
and sheriff would be increased from
$500 to $1O5O and 500 would be added
to the salaries Of the superintendent
oil schools and the clerk. The treas
urer's salary would not be changed.
The salaries now paid are those which
the statute provides for counties of
the 18th class, having over 5000 and
less than $500 people. Counties
having between 3, 800 and 4, 900 people
are in the 24th, in which official salar-
les are the same as they are in those
of the 25th.

The Furnishing of
School Supplies

The statement of Director John
that O. H. Culver received from the
school district over $4OO during the
five years of his service as school d.
rector is fabrication, and not even
an ingenious one. Warrants drawn
in favor of the ISLANDER and Mr..
Culver for supplies, books, printing,
cash paid for freight and for minor
repairs during that period aggre-
gated $11O.35. Warrants amounting
to over 5000 were drawn in his favor
as clerk for remittances by drafts in
payment of bills for furniture, scien-
tific apparatus, lumber and supplies
purchased from Seattle, San Fran
cisco and Bellingham firms. none of
which supplies were obtainable from
local dealers, and Mr.. Culver never
received cent Of profit from them.
He never solicited an order of any
kind from the district and the few
minor supplies which were ordered
from him by the chairman of the board
or the principal, with the chairman's
approval, were not carried in stock
by anyone else here and they were
furnished at a considerable saving to
the district.
Ever since the district was organ
lied it has been the custom for mer-
chants serving as directors to furnish
such supplies as we're ordered from
them, charging for them their regular
prices, and this is the custom through
out the state. During the period
covered by Honest Johns investigs-
ton, which he CONSIDERABLY limited
to the term of Mr.. Culver's service as
director, warrants in favor of N. e.
then chairman of the board,
were drawn to the amount Of $287. 13
and L. B. Carter, who was director
a portion of the time, was paid 5000
These gentlemen served the district
well, gave "value received" for what
they furnished and had no thought Of
any law.

The Bangor News Monday printed the
following:
police ofacial Of Ellsworth arrived in Ban
gor Saturday with an alleged insane man.
who had been committed to the Eastern
Maine insane hospital, but lost his charge
accounts, the fugitive had not been recap
tured.
Patrolman H. p. Baker was accosted satur-
day forenoon by the down-river officer who
didn't know how he had lost his charge. He
thought he might have left the train first, and
he also had an idea that the patient had gone
through to Rockland, his former residence.
Mhsn n the ssnsHRs Gses tussssd that
fugitive, the Ellsworth guardian Of the peace,
etc, allowed that he'd let him 60. It was said
that the patient had . fad for wireless telsg.
sephy.. His ese Is abcrt ffty year, and ne is
is light complexioned. The man wore dark
suit and dark hat.
Ellsworth hasn't committed anyone to
the East Maine insane asylum, or even to
Bangor, recently. As q matter of fact q
sailor drifted into Ellsworth from Mt.
Desert Ferry last Friday, visited several
stores, bargained for many and varied
goods which he said he would call for
later and pay for.
His case was soon diagnosed by Els
worth tradesmen as swheels', with ten
dency to the humorous. He took the
train for Bangor Saturday, but was not
accompanied by an officer. The authori-
ties here are inclined to think that the
Ellsworth s'police official" who related the
pipe dream to the Bangor officer, was none
other than the escaped insane patient
