IsLEsFoRD, Jan. 16 Especially = Col. Will
liam e. Hsdlock, one Of the towns most
prominent citizens, died Thursday after
noon, Jan. IL, after short illness Of heart
failure. He was seventy-seven years Of
age, and an active man for his years.
He had been for number of years one
OF the most prominent men in town sf-
fairs, and at the time OF his death was sec
ond selectman, clerk of the Islesford Con-
gregational society and chairman of the
building committee of the Islesford par
sonage.
Col. Hadlock was an intelligent, we'll
read man, highly respected by old and
young. Several years ago he married Miss
Fannie Tinker, OF Ellsworth, who survives
him. Besides q widow, he leaves a
younger nrother-Capt. Gilbert Hadlock,
whose youngest son, George, at the death
of his mother, made his home with the
,solonel and his wife.
The funeral was held Sunday at the
ehurch. The floral offerings were beauti
full. Much sympathy is extended to the
bereaved widow and relatives, and
especially to the nephew, who has been so
faithful to the aged couple.

hundreds to voters in different towns

To what extent these fabrications have
assisted in again bringing forward this
movement to dismember the county, it IL
Of course hard to tell, but there is no
question but they must have added con-
siderably to the feeling Of dissatisfaction
and unrest.
Prior to 1859 the county of Lincoln ex-
tended to the east line of the State, taking
in the shore settlements, but in that year
two new counties were formed, and the
people, with the struggle for independ-
the names of the two great heroes OF the
Revolution, Washington and Hancock.
Hancock county then embraced the
most of what is now Waldo county and
Penobscot and Piscstaquis counties,
but in 1915 Penobscot county was incorpo-
rated, taking from Hancock what is now
substantially Penobscot and Piscataquis
counties, and in 1927 Waldo county was
formed, taking what was remaining
west OF the Penobscot, and making that
river below Orrington and the eastern en-
trance to the PenoDscot bay, q boundary,
which nature seems to have provided, the
dividing line bringing the county into
compact form, leaving the configuration OF
its coast line unbroken, and making
pleasing appearance upon the map.
During these eighty-four years no other
changes have been made. Even when
Knox county was formed in 1850 it was
not found necessary to encrosch upon our
territory, and any break in our county
lines for any reason that has been as
signed, would surely mean disaster. 1t
behooves those who now have the reins of
power to warn their friends of the danger,
and save us from this misfortune, or they
will be called quickly to account.

Rough Experience.

CENTER, Jan. II Especially Albert Her.
per and Albion Farrell, OF this place, had a
rough experience Sunday night. They
were out in their motor boat Sunday,
when she broke down. The boat drifted
near Hardwood island, where they
anchored her.
Without food or fire they prepared to
spend the night aboard. At four O'Clock
Sunday morning the boat dragged ashore
in the gale. The men reached shore
safely, and found but poor shelter in some
abandoned buildings.
A rescuing party sent out Monday found
them almost exhausted after twenty-four
hours exposure without food. They lost
their boat.

WEDNESDAY JANUARY IS, 1911.

Dismemberment of Hancock.
The county of Hancock seems to be
in danger of ACKNOWLEDGMENT, says the
Ke~~ebec Journal A petition to an
mex Isle au Haut to Knox county has
already been presented in the House,
and . similar one in relation to Ston-
ington is soon to follow. Meanwhile,
~ q back fire to this proposition,
comes q brand new scheme to annex
Bucksport to Penobscot county, fol-
10 we'd by a second ore to have Cas-
tine set of into Waldo county.
James II. Jones, who represented
the Bucksport class in the seventy
fourth legislature, was at the state
house Thursday, and appeared to be
highly indignant over the proposition
to set of Stonington and Isle an Haut
to Knox county. eff Stonington and
Isle au Haut join drives with Knox
county, shall petition this legisla-
eure to have Bucksport annexed to
Penobscot county, as Bangor is only
eighteen miles distant, and much more
convenient of access than Ellsworth,
the shire town of Hancock county"
Mr.. Jones also added that he had
heard from residents of Castine, who
wished to be set of into Waldo
county, as Belfast would be much
more convenient city for transacting
court business.
The attempt to set of Stonington
and Isle an Haut from Hancock county
and annex them to Knox county has
been attempted at two previous ses-
sions of the legislature, and has been
opposed by the committee on towns
in the past. 1t is likely to be opposed
by the committee on towns iagain at
this session, but from slightly differ
ent view point.
The majority of the committee on
towns two and four years ago was OPP
posed to it because the addition OF the
populous town of Stonington, which is
OF democratic tendencies, to the
strongly democratic county of Knox,
might place 4 couple of democratic
senators from Knox in the upper
House. But now Hancock county has
shown decided tendency towards
the democratic party, and the major
ity of the members of the committee
on towns of the seventy fifth legisla-
ture are saying: ''Don't set of Ston-
ington from Hancock county. We
have just begun to have show down
in this county, and without Stoning-
toms aid we couldn't carry the county
again"
Belfast has been flirting with Cas-
tine as far as business interests are
concerned for some time, and the fire.
quency Of excursions to the larger
municipalities has caused the adoption
of the slogan by the merchants Of Cas-
tine: "Stop at home.n.

In connection with the sale of the
Hardy property at Bar Harbor last week
at the rate OF about $4,000 an acre, it is
interesting to note that this property
comprised part Of twelve-acre field
offered to AN Ellsworth man little more
than fifty years ago for 1900, or about
SS3 an acre.
Capt. Charles Wood, Of Surry, aged
eighty-two years, and with his hands
badly crippled, has within two years made
three schooners with his pocKet-knife.
One has three masts, one four and one
five. They are fully rugged and manned,
all the sails can be lowered and hoisted,
but not by the power of the men on
board, ell carved by his knife, with wheel
and windlass complete.
Capt. Alabama Gross, of Rockland, a
native of Orlsnd, died Jan. Is, at Sailors
Snug Harbor, New York. Capt. Gross
started going to sea at fifteen years Of age,
and seven times had been shipwrecked.
The schooner Chieftan, the first in which
he shipped, was wrecked on Chatham bar,
=
and the young seaman had his hands, feet
and ears frozen. He was in the schooner
Mary Wise when she was run down of
Cape Cod. The crew was taken OF by q
Deer Isle vessel. In 1872 he was in the
schooner Richard Bullwinkle, wrecked on
Bartlett's reef. Two years later he was
in the brig John Aveles, wrecked on
Sandy Hook, the crew being taken OF by
the ife-saving crew. He was in command
of the schooner Post Boy when she was
sunk in a gale at Port Jefferson, N. Y.
The vessel was raised, and the following
year, with Capt. Gross still in charge, she
was total loss on Otter island ledge. His
seventh and last wreck was in the
schooner Lucy Jones, sunk in collision
with the steamer City of Savannah near
Cross ripin 1892. The mate and two seamen
were drowned and Capt. Gross suffered
three broken ribs.

slaughtered without mercy at the polls
last September, SO far as they could be
reached, and all the others would have
shared the same fate il there had been an
opportunity; while the representative who
introduced the bill two years ago to COM
mence the dismem berment of our county,
and who very ably championed it before
the committee and else here, has been
triumphantly reelected, has now intro
duced this bill again, and has been as
signed to a place on the committee on
counties, which will have these bills in

More unfortunate, and still more
Illuminating, is the fact that those who de-
sire to leave the county have had addi-
tional reasons given them for doing SO,
which two years ago had not been thought
OF, for it was not until the last cappaign
that the alarming discovery was made by
some OF the successful candidates for
office, that things had come to such a state
that 1.-THE conditions IN this county were
absolutely rotten, which statement was
often made on the platform and in the
local democratic press; and one of these
candidates, not being satisfied with
slandering his county at home, had pub
