Not Fairly Treated.

J. 7. ellison returned on the heat
yesterday morning from Boston, Where
he had his motor boat, Kennebec Boy,
entered in the races last Saturday. Mr..
ellison finished in the race in the third
position, but he feels that had he re-
ceived fair treatment that he would
nave easily led the race.
When he reported with his boat he
was given the position of second in the
start, the race being a handicap one,
but about five minutes before the race
was started, he was assigned the ninth
position, no reasons being given for the
set back of several minutes.
He made a god start and was easily
leading and even passed the winning
boat, when he was caught in trap,
evidently planned before hand. When
he passed under one of the arches OF
the bridge, a number of cruiser boats
blocked his way and he was obliged
not only to slow down but even stop to
avoid collision. The winning boat was
given handicap of nine minutes over
him at the start. There We're also sew
eral boats of horsepower of 80 to 1O0
that he had to give from to 10 min
utes.
Mr.. ellison now feels surer than ever
that with fair and unprecedented condi-
lions that he has the fastest boat IN
New England.

The lad accompanied his father to
North Newport early last week for a
visit with relative. Miss Fannie Lewis.
Thursday morning Miss Lewis went with
the boy to Corinna. where she supposed
he took train for his home in Bangor.
But instead he came directly to this city.
Me had small amount OF money and
mileage enough for his transportation.
When his father learned that he had
departed from Corinna and was not at
home he reported the matter to the po-
lice and sent descriptions throughout the
State. Nothing was heard of him until
Tuesday morning. when City Marshal
Richardson learned that he had been seen
in the locality in which he was found.
Marshal Richardson started out in the
morning and travelled over 20 miles, fol-
lowing each clue that finally led to the
The marshal went to the Henry Upper
farm and learned from the owner that a
boy answering the description was on
his farm, he having applied for work
last Thursday and since then had been
helping about the farm. The boy was
soon found and admitted his identity. He
seemed glad to know that he was to be
taken home again. although he seemed to
enjoy the farm life.
The marshal and the lad returned to
the city and the parents in Bangor were
notified. In the meantime the boy re-
manned at the City building and cheer
fully answered all questions put to him
by the officials. He is a bright, intelli-
gent lad, having just finished his course
in the Grammar school in Bangor and is
ready for the High school course. He
did not express any regret for having
left home, but nevertheless was glad to
return
At supper time the boy was the guest
at Marshal Richardson's home and short
ly afterward Mr.. and Mrs. Bowler ar
rived in an automobile. The parents
We're greatly elated to have their son
restored to them and they were profuse
with their thanks to Marshal Richardson
for the care of their son while he was
in his custody.
You have led us quite chase said
the father to his son when he first set his
eyes on him. "Oh, pretty good,' replied
the boy.

ceived at the stables were light, and the
local demand was very dull. but all

made an outlet for sturdy horses. suit
able Tor the woods. Entries of driving
and carriage horses were limited and
there was little business transacted in
this class of horses.
Although the trade has been dull
during the past month. it is encourage
ing to dealers that values have held
fairly steady all summer. Heavy
horses are bringing fully as strong
values as in the beginning Of the sea-
son, and though light delivery horses
have fallen off somewhat in value ow-
ing to lack of demand. sales of all
horses that were desirable have ruled
high. The best heavy draft horses sold
at s325MS45O: medium weight drafters,

the four men. who were certainly
tough looking customers. They We're
brought to the City building. but they
disclaimed all knowledge of the break.
They claimed to have come to Oak
land on a freight and after washing
up started for this city. There was
no evidence to connect them with the
affair and they We're released.

a man. claiming to be a detective in

1t has just been learned here that
several Hallowell people narrowly es-
capped drowning in the Kennebcc near

last Sunday night. They had been in
attendance at the Richmond camp
meeting and learning at late hour
that the midnight train east would not

motor boats to take them to Rich
mond. Two boats were secured. One
went off all right and landed her pas
sengers safely. The other had IA pas
sengers on board, among them Edwin
D. Sherburne, his wife and son. Mrs.
Louise Carrck and Guy Pickard of
this city.
When out in midstream the boat be-
gan to take water and fill rapidly. The
man in charge lost his head and stop
ped the engine. Some one on board
seeing the danger quickly took con-
troll, started up the engine and ran
the rapidly sinking craft ashore

ter through which the frightened pas
sengers had to wade in order to reach
terra firma.
