Receives Severe Injnries.
Skowhegan Physician Thrown to Ground
and Run Over by his Automobile.

duu KUN OfcI ny MS AulOmopuc.
DIR. L. A. Dascombe, in starting his
touring car, last Saturday evening,
was thrown to the ground and run
over by the machine, receiving in
juries of very serious nature from
which he is at the present time criti-
cally i'll. The engine had "stalled"
and the doctor had stepped in front
to start it by the use of the crank, the
operation known as "cranking" by
autoists. The machine gave quick
jump, bearing him down between the
wheels and passing over his body.
DR.. Dascombe has been using an
automobile in making his profess
sioral calls for several years and the
machine in use by him this season is
a four cylinder Maxwell. On Satur-
day evening last he had been making
calls about town, leaving the resi-
dence of L. L. Morrison on High
street shortly after nine. He made
one or two other stops in that section
and ON North avenue and had started
to 60 home by way of Prospect street.
The turn into this thorofare from North
avenue is up grade and in attempting
to make it on the high speed the
engine stopped. The gear should
have been fsthrown out" that is, the
engine disconnected, before any at
tempt was made to start the machine
but the doctor must have neglected
to do this and at the first turn of the
crank the car leaped forward. The
doctor fell on his back and the heavy
machipg, weighing about 1000 lbs.
went over him. He was not hit by
the wheels, the lowest point of the
underworks, a transverse rod only
eleven inches above the ground,
limited the space under the machine
to that dimension and it was from
this that the most serious injuries
were received. The forward wheels
of the car dropped into the ditch and
stopped, the doctor was pinned I'M
derneath and held by his clothing
which had been wound into gear.
He was able to get out his pocket
knife, cut himself loose and, as no aid
was at hand, he succeeded in starting

The injuries consist of a fracture,
in two:places, of one of the bones(the
fibula) OF the left leg below the knee,
the loosening of all the ribs from the
breast bone and two of them from the
spine. Both eyes also were injured,
not from direct blow but from the
pressure of the car upon the body
which was 80 severe as to effect them.
The latest reports are to the effect
that the doctor is as comfortable as
could be expected, considering the
nature of his injuries. The fractures
have been reduced and such other aid
rendered by his professional brethren
as promise to minister to his comfort
and recovery. DIR. Dasoombe is the
dean of the medical profession, as to
number of years in practice in Show
hogan, and is highly respected, beth
In households where he is the family
physician and by the community in
general. He is prominent also out
side his professional life, director of
the First National Bank and other
wise active in business affairs. He
has abundant sympathy in his present
unfortunate adventure and wishes ga
lore for his speedy recovery.

Senator Lodge, one Of the most dis
Iming public men in Massachusetts,
Predicts that now the tariff question
b settled an era of renewed pros
penty is about to dawn. "Taken as
avhole l am we'll pleased with the
new law, and l expect a most bene-
fetal effect upon the country at large
nom its operations" he declares.
4Both labor and capital will reap
greater bene fits, and will share fully

According to Bradstreets' Reports,
breadstuffs and live stock have more
than doubled in price since July l.,
1896; and provisions, fruits, hides and
leather have advanced fifty per cent,
and cloth and -four sixty per cent.
The larger part OF the increase is
doubtless due to the greater specu-
lation during the last few years in
grain and other necessities. Forty
years ago no such speculation was
thought Of. People who unduly
speculate ON the actual necessities of
life, are the enemies Of mankind, but
we don't know how they can be le-
gally reached and properly punished.

Maine State Dairy Meeting.

Probability That It Will Be Held Here In
December.
There seems to be an excellent pros
pect that the annual meeting of the Me.
State Dairy Association will be held
here this year. The matter has been
before Skowhegan Grange and Show
hogan Board of Trade and both bod
les, by unanimous vote, extended the
association an invitation to come.
Having conferred with the municipal
officers as to the use of the city build
ing and been assured by them that
for such purpose it would be tend
cred to the visitors without expense,
the Grange addessed yesterday a
letter to Leon 8. Merrill Of Scion the
association secretary, advising him Of
what had been done here and ex-
pressing the hope that the meeting
would be held at Skowhegan.

Local Forest Fires.

We have had several forest fires,
within few miles of this village,
during the past week but all are,
happily, at the present time extin-
guished.
The most serious of these was
on the Fogg Lot, 30 called, in the
town of Madison, where fifty acres
were burned over during Monday.
This tract is situated to the east of
Hayden Lake road and is owned by
Ernest and Blaine Emerson. The
land was cut over during the winter
of 1918 and the fire found most ex-
cellent ground in which to spread in
the decaying tops and refuse. 1t
broke out soon after nine O'Clock on
Monday morning, near the south line
of the Fogg lot, close to the Levi
Weston farm. 1t is supposed to have
been accidentally set by some berry
pickers Who were in that neighbor-
hood during the morning. 1t got a
big start and progressed rapidly to-
ward the north and west, in the direc-
tion of the Emerson & Spear steam
mill and the Jesse Reed road. The
selectmen of the town of Madison
were notified and something like 200
men came from that town to fight
the fire. Word was also sent here
and Chief Arson Savage sent about a
dozen men to aid. They were sum-
moned to the department building by
blowing the chiefs CALL. three blasts,
at 1890, Monday. The smoke of this
fire made great cloud to the north
ward, visible all day from this place,
but died down toward night as the
fire was gotten under control. A
small crew was left to extinguish
small fires that broke out through the
night and on Tuesday morning it was
reported that all danger was past.
A small force was kept at hand all
day Tuesday, however, to attend to
the blaze that might make itself
manifest as is often the case after
forest fire of that magnitude.
Smaller fires occurred last week, at
the Morse farm, on the Norridgewock
road, Thursday, and Saturday near
the tracks of the Maine Central,
few miles out of town. Members of
the Skowhegan Fire Department
were sent to the Morse farm but the
residents of the neighborhood had
the fire out by the time they arrived.
The burned area was in the pasture
back of the field on the south side of
the road. About ten acres were
burned over but the damage was
small. The property is at present
owned by R. W: Brown, formerly of
this town, now of Boston. There was
also another small fire somewhere
down the line, soon after the passing
of the ESQ train, Monday afternoon,
but it was extinguished with small
loss.
