ESCAPED PRISONER
FOUND IN MADISON
Charged With Shooting
Brockton Motorman
Was In Insane Asylum for Obserra-
ton as to Sanity.

Clarence H. Greenleaf, formerly of
Anson, was taken this morning to
Brockton, Mass, by authorities from
there where he will be given a trial
Greenleaf was arrested in Madison by
Sheriff John Mooers and his deputy,
Carol Sterry of Starks, the first of
the week.
The story of the case is, that a
short time ago Sheriff Mooers re-
ceived word from Taunton, Mass, that
Greenleaf had escape from the Insane
Asylum. He learned that he was in
Madison and thee tie officers found
him working in tn Wooden Mills He
was brought to Skowhegan and lodged
in the Jail to await the necessary pa
pers from Governor Fernald to give
the Massachusetts authorities liberty
to remove him from this state The
officers arrived here last night in an
automobile.
1t seems that last October Green
leaf was arrested on the charge of
assault with dangerous weapons. he
having, as it was alleged, walked into
an electric car and there drew a re-
volver on the motorman shooting him
in the body twice. He fired the third
shot at him but the bullet hit a wo-
man in the car. Both victims later
recovered. Greenleaf was brought be-
fore the court and an order was is
sued to send him to the Insane Asy
lum for observation as to his sanity.
The report came later that Greenleaf
was of sane mind and he Was order
ed to be brought to trial. Just be-
fore the trial, by some mysterious
method Greenleaf escaped. He was
soon traced to the South and then
to the West but he eluded the officers
until Monday.
Greenleaf's story is that he and his
wife and three children were living
near Boston and he had a position as
conductor on the electric cars. They
took a motorman to board, and. as he
said, the motorman broke up his fam
/ lily and for revenge he shot the motor
man.

phia, as chairman of the commission
on inland fisheries and game, for a
term of three years, to fill the vacancy

Of service of Hon. Leroy T. Carleton

The endorsement of Mr.. Carleton
was large one but it is understood

ton of his excellency to appoint new

was appointed to the position by Gov
ernor Henry B. Cleaves in 1885,
Commissioner Carleton was a can
ddate for re-appointment while the
only other candidates, who had pa
pers on file in the office of the execu-
tive department were Mr.. Bracket
and H. L. Eliot of Rumford Falls.
The appointment will come up for
confirmation at the session of the
governor and council which will be
held June %.
James w. Bracket, the new chair
man, has long been identified with the
fish and game interests of the State.
He was. born in the town of Phillips,
Franklin county, and will be 43 years
of age when he assumes the duties
of his office on the 30th day of this
month.
Mr.. Bracket was appointed by Gov.
Cobb in 1904 as a member of the fish
and game commission and re-appoint-
ed by him in 1907.

the High school were held Monday
evening in the Opera House. The
large audience listened to a most ex-

graduating exercises in years past
of the High school have ever been

q creditable manner which showed the
excellent training of the members.
This was due to the excellent work of
Miss Gertrude Carter. Some of the
best written essays that have been
delivered here for some time were
given. They showed thought on the
mart of the writer's and portrayed help
full and practical pictures of the diff
ferent subjects. The music for the
evening was furnished by Kendall's

We believe in prohibition and are

full to everybody present. Mr.. Morris
took for his subject THE Day Star
His text was taken from II. Peter
1:19. The sermon:
Every great event its controlling
genius" The Jewish economy could
not have been founded without an
Abraham, nor brought out of Egyp-
tian bondage without a Moses, nor
led triumphantly into Canaan Land
without Joshua. There must be a
Paul to give inspiration, extension and
permanency to the Gospel of Jesus
Christ; a Martin Luther to kindle the
fires of the reformation; George
Washington to lay down the corner
stone of the American Republics, and
an Abraham Lincoln to steer the ship
of state through the troublesome wa
tiers of the Civil war.
And 80 in these latter days. There
must be men like these. And men like
these there are. Here in this world
they live and move and have their
being, towering high above the multi
tude, alone, distinct in the loftiness
of their ideals, in the boldness of their
undertakings and in the character of
their noble work. OF some of them
we might well say; Their fame is
gone out to the ends of the earth"
And these we have called men!
