Reports from the electric storm of
July 18th continue to come in. 1t
seems that the farm home of Thomas
s. Welsh, formerly the Levi Varney
farm, was struck, and considerably
injured. The chimney was demol-
ished nearly down to the roof and
some of the boards torn off. The
family were seated in the kitchen at
the time and all felt a severe and
very disagreeable shock but no one
sustained any lasting injury.
Miss Daisy Coulters of Arlington,
r. l., has been engaged to teach
modern languages and commercial
branches in the Skowhegan High

She is graduate of Brown Univer-
sity with the 3. A. degree and has
taught in the schools of her own
State and Massachusetts for the past

Miss Ethel Kicker who resigned at

Phillip s. Eaton of Somerville,
Mass. is in town this week, the guest

has been student at Harvard college
the past four years, graduating with
honors in the class Of 1909. Mr.. Ea.
ton is the son of the late s. P. Eaton
who was a conductor for many years
in the early days of the Maine Cen

Engineer G. S. Humphreys, of Mad
ison, who has been making survey
of the Kennebec valley from the
Eddy to Bombazee Rips, advises the
Skowhegan board of selectmen that
he is nearly ready to report. Mr..
Humphreys finds the conditions ever
better than he at first supposed, as
regards the development of the max
imum water power, the possible
horse power being all that was antic-
ipated and the cost of development
substantially less than the earlier es-
Inmates. After a conference between
the selectmen and President Ordway
of the Skowhegan Board of Trade it
has been decided to have Mr.. Hum
phreys' report submitted at the next
meeting of that body which will be
on Friday, August Goth.
L. L. Morrison has had a tedious
illness as the result of his accident,
two weeks since. 1t will be recalled
that he came into collision with an
automobile, while driving on Main
street, and was injured by being
thrown out. The injury which has
given him the most uneasiness and
suffering was to the left leg, a bruise
from the wheel of his own vehicle
which passed over it. This has pre-
vented his walking, except with the
aid of crutches, and the pain of the
Inflammation has largely deprived
him of sleep. On Tuesday it was de-
termined to attempt relief by surgery
and the wound was opened, this be-
ing repeated yesterday morning.
This seems to have afforded relief
and very much more comfortable
and encouraging condition has re-
suited.
