Small Maine Town Suffers.

A hot box in the grist mill of J. r.
B. Densmore at Branch Mills was be
lieyed to have been responsible Fri
day for a disastrous confagration
which swept the entire east side OF
Water street, resisting the efforts OF
voluntary firefighters to subdue it and
destroying a score of stores and
dwellings before it finally burned out
because there were no more buildings
in the locality on which the flames
could feed.
Several of the buildings destroyed
were dive ling houses, while there
were dwellings in the upper parts OF
some of the buildings occupied on the
ground floor by stores, so that quite q
number of families were burned out
with barely time to save anything
A small quantity of furniture was res
cued from the flames, but in a number
of instances families were obliged to
fee from their homes before they had
an opportunity to save the whole OF
their wardrobes. In addition TO the
buildings burned a small dam and the
bridge which spanned the Sheepscot
river were burned, as was the hall OF
Branch Mills Grange, P. of H., and
the Shuman House, wooden hote
with Accommodations for 25 guests. Ii
is believed that the total loss will be
nearly $50, 900, on which there was but
little insurance.

Thirty-ive Years Married.

The Thirty fifth Anniversary of the
marriage OF Mr.. and Mrs. Dexter
w. Rowe was observed at their
pleasant home on Madison avenue,
Thursday afternoon and evening,
June %. Mr.. and Mrs. Rowe were
taken by surprise as they had not the
least expectation that relatives and
friends to the number Of about forty
were intending to take advantage OF
the occasion and come in upon them
in such a manner. But it was a
pleasant surprise however and an
enjoyable time to all present. A
bountiful repast was served on the
lawn in front of the residence, APP
propriate presents were collected
near the tables and after refresh
ments had been served, S. F. Emer-
son was selected TO convey in words
the good wishes of the guests and
present the tokens of love and
respect that had been so freely given.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowe feelingly re-
sponded to the presentation. An
appropriate poem was read and in
the beautiful evening hours the
happy party babe the kind family a
joyful "good by" and another wed
ding anniversary passed into fam
lily history.

A Legislative Candidate.

Republican delegates from Bing-
ham, Concord, Embden and Moscow
and the plantations classed with these
towns rs legislative district, let at
Bingham on June 10Th and made IN
anlmous choice of Forrest II. Colby
Of that town as a candidate for the
Legislature.
Mr.. Colby has had wide acquain-
lance in business circles and has al
ways taken deep interest in public
affairs, but this may be said to be his
first venture, Of a personal nature,
into the field of politics. He was
born in Bingham, thirty nine years
ago, and has always resided there.
His father, the late Warren Colby,
was an old time lumberman and his
son grew up in close association with
that business. AS he grew To man
hood he became his fathers business
partner and his principal activities
have been connected with the Maine
forests and their products. This in
dustry, IN past years the most import
ant in the county and destined to be
so for long time to come, has given
him wide acquaintance especially
in the district he now aspires TO rep
resent, and it is probable that there
is no resident of the towns and plan
tations that, through their delegates
have now selected him as their can
didate, who does not know Mr.. Colby
intimately. His familiarity with
Somerset county timberlands has led
to his appointment as referee in sev.
eral cases where the courts had or
dered or the parties had sought a
division of tlmbered areas.
Mr.. Colby is a temperance man,
both as to belief and by his own ex-
ample, and has never used liquor in
any way. He is a member of the
Bingham Congregational church and
has been for some years the chairman
of its business committee. He has SER
we'd for two years as a member of the
board of selec.men of the town of
Bingham, and has been recently
elected director of the First Nation
al Bank of Skowhegan. He is a
member of the Order of the Eastern
Star, the Rebekahs, Masons, odd
Fellows and lodge of Modern Wood
men, at Bingham, and of the higher
masonic bodies at Skowhegan.
The legislative district which Mr..
Colby will represent, in the event of
his election in September, is about as
large as the entire remaining area of
the county and, indeed, approaches
the size of some of the smaller states
of the union. 1t is distinctively a
numbering and agricultural section
and IS hardly to be presumed that any
resident could be more familiar with
its needs. 1t would seem that Mr..
Colby's candidacy would be regarded
as somewhat above and outside of
partizan politics, as they are usually
understood, and that he would be
likely to be supported very generally
by residents of his district without
serious regard to party affiliations.

Former Residents Hold Gathering


The Both annual reunion of the
State of Maine Association of Cali
fornia was held at Shell Mound Park
in Oakland, on Saturday, June 10.
This is the occasion on which the sons
and daughters of Maine, who have
cast their lot with the Golden West,
assemble each year for a picnic.
Not small portion of the men and
women, who have come to the shores
of the Pacific and made California
what she is, hailed originally from
the Pine Tree State; and today form
er Maineites are to be found occupy
ing the high stations of honor and
trust in every California city and
village. But, although they have
found new home, the old one has
not been forgotten; and once each
year, laying aside the cares of bust
ness, they assemble to talk again of
the days and times that were.
The attendance at this years picnic
was about TOO, Somerset County, ever
among the foremost, was well repre-
sented. Many from Skowhegan and
ar-by towns registered. Mr.. Noah
c. Kendell, well known to Skowhe-
gan people, is Treasurer of the Asso-
citation.
A baked bean dinner being strictly
essential to any gathering of Maine
folk, baked bean dinner there was.
After a short musical program, the
address of the day was delivered by
the Rev. E. Harvey Hadlock of San
Francisco, formerly of Ellsworth Me.
Then followed the out of door sports,
of foot races, egg and spoon races and
nail driving contests for the ladies',
the last event furnishing considerable
merriment. The dance in the pavil-
ion with music by the band, closed
the festivities of the day.
1t was one of the most successful
meetings ever held by the Associa
ton; and many were heard to prom
Use themselves that the next picnic
should find them present.
Independent of the Association,
there is a Maine Club, whose mem
bers are residents of the Bay Cities.
This Club was organized for the pur-
pose of bringing together each
month at a social or party of the
Maine people by the Golden Gate.
Visitors from Maine, who chance to
be in this vicinity when either the
Club or Association has a meeting,
are cordially invited to attend.

Edward F. Allen.

Edward F. Allen died, after very
brief illness, at his home in the Big
Glow Hill neighborhood, on Wednes-
day of last week. He was the son of
Freeman and Jane (Hoxie) Allen and
was born on the farm where his death
occurred and which had been his
home through life, sixty one years
ago This farm home was also the
birth place of the mother who sur
wives, now in her S7th year. Other
surviving relatives are brother re-
siding in Wilton, A. B. Allen, another
brother, Daniel Allen, and three
sisters, Mrs. Nj. S. Adams, Mrs. Geo.
Buzzell and Mrs. Edwin d. Packard,
all residing here.
The funeral was from the home of
his sister, Mrs. Buzzell, on Saturday,
conducted by the Rev. DR.. Fred
A. Leitch, Pastor of the Centenary
Methodist Church and the place of
interment was the Larone Cemetry.

Municipal Court.

Two citizens of Cornville, of
Swedish birth, and recent settlers
in our county, were arrested by
Chief of Police Fred c. Dunlap, Mon
day evening, and tried before Judge
Bachelor in the Municipal Court,
Tuesday morning, on charge of,
intoxication. Such humor as may
appear in incidents of this kind is
entitled to publicity and a shade of
it certainly come to the surface of
this particular arrest and trial from
the fact that the two respondents,
after imbibing a sufficient quantity to
ultimately take them off their feet,
made their way down Water street to
the vicinity of the Eddy Hill and
timed their final collapse so that it
occurred in the vicinity of the resi-
dence of Judge Bachelor. His honor
was made aware of the fact that two
individuals in the last stages of in
toxication were in the vicinity of his
home and, unofficially, proceeded to
view them before Officer Dunlap
came to convey them to the lookup.
The trial on Tuesday morning was
facilitated somewhat as the result of
these incidents of the day before as
here given. Under the circumstances
there could no question of identity
and the Judges personal knowl-
edge of the condition of the respond
ents on the preceding afternoon
made it obviously useless to enter a
plea of not guilty. The hearing was
short and the prisoners were dis
charged after paying fines and costs
aggregating about eighteen dollars.

Death of L. Y. Chase

Lowell Weber Chase, died Mon
day morning at the Somerset Hospit-
al on Elm street, where ne was taken
for treatment last week. He lad
been in poor health for the past three
years, but able to be about and 10
attend TO his business for most Of this
period. In 1905 he was operated
upon for appendicitis, and the opera
ton performed Saturday last, with
the hope of possible relief for con
dion that was recognized as yery
serious, disclosed the fact that his
condition of health, and this last and
fatal illness could all be traced to the
original attack Of three years since.
The deceased was born in York
Maine, the son Of Cotton e. and Deb
orah Chase. When young man he
went TO Massachusetts in search Of
employment and eventually went to
work in the carriage factories of
Amsbury as a blacksmith. His faith
full service earned him a promotion
and, after passing through the prin-
ed by several different firms, he
started out on the road, on his own
account, as carriage salesman.
Skowhegan was among the places
visited by him and he finally decided
TO settle here in the carriage and
livery business, buying out Fred Dore,
then located at the corner Of North
avenue and Water streets. This war
about thirty years ago. His intimate
knowledge of carriage building and
the carriage trade were of great value
to him and enabled him to develop a
vehicle Business undoubtedly, the
most extensive in this section Of the
state.
Mr. Chase was a genial and com
panionable man and universally pop
ular with acquaintance and business
associates. He became a member of
Power River Lodge, No. 90. Independ-
ent Order of Odd Fellows, at Ans
bury, in 1872, and there is now living
in this place the gentleman, William
Nesbit, who acted as Warden at his
initiation. He affiliated with Canton
Somerset after coming to SkoWhegan
Hotel Coburn had been the home of
the deceased for many years of his
Skowhegan residence and brief ser
vices were observed there, on Tues
day afternoon, conducted by the Rev
George Merriam, at which the mem
bers of Canton Somerset were present
in body. The brother, George, and
son Frank W. Chase and wife, ac-
companied the remains to Massachu-
sets, leaving by the early train yes
terday morning. Funeral services
were observed at Amsbury today and
the interment will be in that city
Mr.. Chase is survived by two sons,
