George Brann OF Passadumkeag were
saving into stoyewood a large elm
tree that stood near the old hotel.
when their saw encountered some
thing hard in the cut. They kept saw
ing wood. however, until they had the
stick cut of, and then investigated
and found clay pipe imbedded in the
very center Of the tree. The pipe was
in a perfect state Of preservation and
filed with tobacco, the same as when
Il was left there. Explanations were
rife as to the presence Of the pipe in
the center Of the tree. but the most
plausible one was given by one Of the
old residents. He said that some 40
years ago some devil driver got after
a yoke Of oxen in that town and ran
over this tree, and. It being small at
that time, bent It to the ground. About
this time he thinks that some one
used the bent tree for pipe rack and
then forgot to remove the pipe, and
the tree after many years grew around
the pipe until it was in the very center
Of the tree.
