FIRE AT WHlTEFIELO.
Overturned Lantern Causes Destruc
ton OF Barn and Contents.

Whitefield. Me, Jan. 12.-(SpeciaD.
The barn owned by Frank Taylor
and situated on the Beech Hill road
was destroyed by fire with its contents
early Saturday evening. The fire was
caused by an overturned lantern. The
loss on the barn will be about $500
and on the hay and farming ma
chinery contained in it about $500. The
loss on the barn is partly covered by
insurance.
Shortly before o'clock Mr. Taylor
went to the barn to feed and bed down
his horse, carrying with him a lighted
lantern, which he placed on a beam
near the horse stall While he was
feeding the horse the lantern in some
way became dislOdged from the beam
and struck upon the moving machine,
which was directly underneath it. The
lantern broke and the kerosene ran
out over the hay, which Mr.. Taylor
had pitched down from the loft. set
ting fire to it so quickly that he had
barely time to escape with the horse
before the entire barn was in flames.
Neighbors saw the blaze and hasten
ed to the scene Of the fire to render
Mr. Taylor assistance in saving his
house and other buildings, which were
in danger. The roof of the house was
kept well wet down and the bucket
brigade succeeded after a hard fight
In combining the fire to the barn.
Owing TO the quickness with which
the flames spread it was impossible to
save the hay or any of the farming
tools. The moving machine and rake
several wagons and IS tons Of hay
were destroyed. The barn was situated
on an elevated spot and the blaze was
plainly seen at East Pittston and
Windsor as we'll as Augusta.

THAT WORRIED LOOK
Is Worn by Bangor Dealers in tn
Ardent Over the Situation.

Bangor, Nc, Jan. 12.-Reports of the
heavy fines and Jail sentences for liquor
dealers in Waldo and Somerset coun-
ties are causing no little une2siness
among the liquor dealers of this county,
who are specializing as to their chances
in the February term of court now
rapidly approaching.
The records of the lower courts show
that practically every liquor dealer in
the county has from one to d dozen
or more appealed cases on search and
seizure, single sales, nuisances or other
counts under the prohibitory liquor
law, besides many who will, if the
usual course is followed, be indicted
on the evidence of the United States
tax stamps which they hold.
IT is predicted that the number OF
liquor indictments will be the largest
ever returned in the county since the
DAYS of the Bangor plan"
Chief Justice Emery will preside Al
the February term.

looked up at his mother and said:"Mammi
I am 80 hungry" The officers gulped
down Jumps that persisted in coming up In
their throats and Chief Black who heard
the children, again began 10 search his
pockets and brought half dollar to view
and handed it TO the boy. The coin was
newly minted and the lad looked at Tie
