their way to Gardiner, Friday noon,
the horse of Silas II. Lanes of West

tomobile owned by Melville Smith Of
Augusta and threw Mr.. Lane, his wife
and daughter, Miss Eliza. out into the
ditch, injuring them quite severely.
The accident happened at about
t11.45 o'clock. Mr.. Lane was on his
way to Gardiner with a load of eggs,
butter and milk to dispose of. He was
accompanied by his wife and daughter.
Miliken hill is very narrow and very
rocky. Mr.. Lane turned out as much
as he could and when the horse be-
came frightened he carried them into
the ditch and against a stone WALL the
wagon tipping over when it struck the
wall and throwing the occupants into
the ditch.
Mr. Lane was badly cut about the
head and eyes and his ribs were
damned on the right side. Miss Lane
struck on her right shoulder injurinS
her right arm quite badly. Mrs. Lane
received no outward signs of injury,
but suffered excruciating pain inter-
nally. Mr.. Lane is somewhat of an in
valid. having hardly any control of his
lower limbs, and it was by mere luck
that he escaped with minor injuries
Mr.. Smith after the accident was
very solicitous for their welfare. taking
them in his automobile back to their
home and summoning DR.. Alton Saw
yer of Gardiner. 1t was undoubtedly
an accident that could not be avoided
and the parties concerned are cOnsid-
ering themselves lucky to escape as
well as they did.

fA kENs T. r. ftSi0tS Gan We forget those heroes
 Who sacrificed their all.-- Who poured out life and treasure To break our fatal thfalls They faced those deadly weapons, r Aimed al all loyal hearts, They gave their lives, most freely, To shield us nom wars darts To scatter fading flowers,
 Above our sleeping dead, Is but small memento
 For those who toiled and hied. The recon,peuse We owe them
 Is what each patriot gives Our loyalty forever
 To that which cost their lives. This land of light and freedom Demands our constant care, Lest subtle foes o'ercome us, And we their fetlers wear. Rut tn the God of Nations
 Our faith shall ever be. Heaven only can protect us
 And keep us truly frec'
