number of wears one of the most prom
inent farmers in this section. About
six years ago he sold his farm on the
Athens road and moved to SkOwhegan
village Up until a few months ago
he had been engaged in the real es-
tate business. He had always been a
public spirited citizen and much re-
spected by all who knew him. He

Fishermen are looking with envy at

is uneaualled in this county. He is al
ways sure Of success when he starts
out with his fishing rod. After being
gone only few hour Monday he came
in with 50 specified beauties.
horse was stolen some time Mon
day night from barn at Nye's Cor
ner, Fairfield. AS soon as the horse
was missed Deputy Sheriff Brophy OF
Fairfield was notified and he In turn
notified Sheriff. Mooers of Skowhegan.
It was learned that after the men,
there being at least two of them, had
taken the horse they started towards
Skowhegan: but finding that they were
pursued they abandoned the team al
ter driving few miles and Deputy
Sheriff Brophy found 1t beside the
road No damage was done to the team
and no trace of the men was found
after they left the team. 1t seems that
a man by the name of Pooler went
from Fairfield village to do some
plumbing and before he got ready to
90 home the team was taken. 1t Is
thought that those who took the team
were men who were haying near Nye's
Corner and having quite a distance to
walk home took the team.
