The Saco Savings Bank depositors
are said to be much discouraged at the
present condition of the Banks az
fairs. 1t is rumored that the trust
company proposition has fallen
through, that other steps will be taken
to wind up the banks affairs, and that
a dividend will be paid before the new
year comes in. A report from the

generally understand that these have
done all in their power to render the
outcome of the tangle as favorable to
the depositors as could be accom-
plished by earnest effort.

A few cod are making their appear

Oil company at Rockland Wednesday
Drawing a heavy truck, they started
rapidly up the street, plunging into
group of workmen who were laying
paving. Because of the noise made by
the whistle Miles Burke did not hear
the approach of the runaway and was
knocked down by the flying horses, the
wagon passing over his body. AT the
Knox County hospital it was found
that Burke was suffering from inter
nal injuries, but how seriously cannot
be told at present. One leg was frac-
tured, several ribs were broken and
his head was cut. Burke belongs in
