Off for the Colleges.

There were rather more than the
usual number of departures on
Monday morning last, of members of
the class of 1908, Skowhegan High
School, who were destined for va
rious colleges to commence their
winters work. Miss Florence Phil
brick went to Boston to become a
student at Simmons College. She
was accompanied by her mother,
Mrs. j. R. Philbrick, and her cousin,
Miss Marion Swain, who returns to
her home in Somerville, Mass, after
passing the summer here.
Mrs. F. o. Sawyer and her daugh-
ter, Miss Fancher, left by the same
train for Auburndale, Mass. where
Miss Fancher enters Lasell College.
Still another member of the class of
1905, took his departure by the
Monday morning train, Reginald +.
Foss, bound for Bowdoin, and Miss
Gail Taggart, also of this class went
to Waterville yesterday to commence
course at Colby. Another member,
Alfred Morrill,, is attending the Uni
versity of California.
Mrs. Mary G. Brainard and Miss
Carolyn were also bound for Boston.
Miss Carolyn is to enter Simmons,
and she and her mother are to make
their home in Boston for the winter,
having taken apartments on st. Bo-
tolph street. Mrs. BrainArd will,
however, return here to pass the
ne xt few months and will rejoin her
daughter in Boston after the holidays
Miss Margaret Griffin is to enter
Wellesley. She will leave here on
Monday morning next and will be ac-
companied for the journey by her
mother, Mrs. j. G. Griffin. Miss
Bertha Merrill also enters Wellesley
and will go some time next week.
Bowdoin Medical college is to get one
student from the class of 1908, Elmer
Nolin, the college year opening next
month. This class also sends one
representative to the New England
Conservatory of Music, Miss Mildred
Weston, who will commence her
studies there in December. Two
other members of the class, Miss Ma
rita Bickford and Thomas Arbuckle
are already enrolled as students at
the University of Maine.

Attacked by Horse.

Selectman A. II. Wyman, it may be
noted, is moving about rather more
moderately than usual of late, and the
reason thereof is an injury received
from q vicious horse at Fairview park,
on Wednesday of last week. Mr.. Wy
man was in search of r. F, Parker,
having a matter of town business to
lay before him, and had stepped to
the fence near the grand stand, think
ing he might be on or about the track
in that vicinity. He noted horse
which had been taken out of the shafts
and hitched to the fence at that point,
but had not thought that the animal
would attack him. He had scarcely
reached the fence, however, when the
animal swung around and jammed him
into the angle formed by the grand
stand and the track, rearing, kicking
and striking at him with his feet at
the same time. Mr.. Wyman managed
to get to the horses head and protect
himself somewhat, but felt that he
was getting good deal the worst of
the encounter and SO made dash to
get out. He was obliged TO go behind
the animal and as he did SO got the
full force of a particularly vicious
kick. He was SO close to the horse
that he was raised and thrown by the
animals hook joints and heels and
thrown a distance of twelve to six
teen feet. Mr.. Wyman's first impress
sion was that he was very seriously
injured, but this seems happily not to
have been the case. He is, however,
black and blue over considerable
area of his person and very lame.
The horse was taken charge OF by the
police and hitched where ne could do
no further damage.

Of pirates who sailed the South Seas
In stolen vessel until they piled her
up on reef. G.. q. Alexander, acting
attorney general for the Fiji islands,
has arrived here en- route for Callao,
Peru, to secure evidence necessary to
the trial. Alexander brought the
first authentic news OF the capture
and names Of the prisoners, who are
now in Jail at Suva.

Kerrett, boy, are the men in custody" !"
he said, "and in addition to being
held for the piracy OF the schooner
Nuevere Tigre, they must answer for
the murder Of the captain and mate
whom they are believed to have forced
to walk the plank.
Perished in the Ocean.
"The schooner sailed from Callao
last November with crew OF four,
the captain and mate being Italians.
According to the statement made by
Skerret, when the schooner was a day
or two out from Callao, Mortlemans
attacked the two Italians with meat
chopper. They clambered onto the
rigging. Mortlemans brought q gun
from his cabin and shouted to them
that If they did not jump overheard
he would shoot them. Both men beg
ged. but finally both jumped. The
schooner was too far away from shore
for them to have a chance of reaching
land.
Traders Became Suspicious.
"Mortlemans and Skerret then
started for the western Pacific. The
name. White Rose, was substituted
For two or three months they drifted
across the Pacific finally. bringing up
in the Gilgert Oreilla group, where
the schooner went ashore on a reef
on an Apampama lagoon, where she
now lies high and dry. Traders who
talked with Mortlemans and Skerret
became suspicious and the police were

Paris, Oct. 26.-Miss Katherine FL
kins and her lover. the Duke of Abb
ruzzi, have many obstacles in the way
of their international marriage. The
devoted and enthusiastic duke has
stopped at nothing to pave the way
for his marriage, but has handled it
all so automatically that he has over
come many of the barriers between
him and his American bride. Just as
everything was apparently smoothed
over and the Italian court and King
Victor Emmanuel had not only
granted permission to the marriage
but also agreed that Miss Elkins
should be received as royal princess,
comes the report that King Edward
Of England has stepped in and oppos-
ed the match on the ground that Miss
Elkins would become sister in law
Of King Edwards niece, a relationship
which does not appeal to the British
monarch.
1t seems that Queen Margherita was
on her way to London TO complete ar
rangements for the Turin Connaught
betrothal when the new outbreak
caused her to stop, her journey in
Paris. The English court does not care

MORSE TRIAL
ATTRACTS CROWD
WITNESSES TESTIFY TO S126,OoO
CHECK DRAWN BY MORSE
FOR r. AUGUSTUS
HElNZE.

New York. Oct. 26-The report that
Mrs. Katherine Gelshenen- Braker was
to be called as witness in the trial
of Charles W. Morse and Alfred FL.
Curtis, attracted an unusually large
attendance to that trial today.
The first matter taken up today was
the check for $4,000, drawn by
Morse on Oct 16. 1t was testified by
e. B. Wire, former cashier of the Ma
tional Bank of North America, that
Curtis told him on Oct. IS last just
before the panic, that the bank was
all loaned up, with little call money
outstanding.
On Oct. he said Otto Heinze &
Co. tried to borrow $4,000 from the
bank and failed to get it On Oct. Is,
f. Augustus Heinze called to Morse
and later a check for $126.000, drawn
by Morse and cashed at the Mercantile
National bank, came back to the Bank
of North america. Morse then had a
balance of between $4,000 and $4,000
in the bank. Wire said he reported
the overdraft to Morse's secretary.
