Co. in company with Leon Gibbs, mo-
torman on the Benton Il Fairfield Rail

going via the new electric road from
WinsIow to Nassalboro. The catch was
good but the things that took place af-
ter the trip was supposed to have been
finished were many and surprising.
Gibbs fell into the pond and was thor
oughly drenched and in an attempt to
rescue him Luce also pitched hcaulOnS
into the pond. The two struggled i'll a
most energetic manner for some time
before getting out In the confusion
the trousers of Gibbs uniform became
badly rent and because he was not
properly uniformed Friday morning his
friends got wise that something had
happened and they began to inVesti-
gate, with the results already told. The
boys are not tired of telling the Incl
