Later. coming up on the car | saw him
pay the conductor and he seemed to
have plenty of money then. l also dis
tinctly remember that he gave me a
quarter with which to tip the waitress.
1t doesn't seem reasonable to me that
he would have done that if he was
down To his last cent.
We arrived in Augusta at $50 Sun
day evening. He left the car at the
corner of Western avenue and l con-
tinued ON to Crescent street. He told
me he was going to my room and leave
his grips and then go down town. He
always visited friends down town when
he came here as he knew all the older
politicians and business men. | re-
member that he took his umbrella out
of its straps on one of the grips be-
cause he thought it was going to rain.
Il have not seen him since that time.
| telephoned to the local hotels Mon
day. but he was not registered at any
of them. | thought it strange, but aft
erward came to the conclusion that he
went TO Waterville where he had many
friends.
Mr. Cameron was a very method
cal man. He always planned every
thing in advance and knew just where
he would be on any date for weeks
ahead. He had made all plans to pass
his vacation with me and it doesn't
seem to me that he would have done
this had he intended to take his life.
Neither can / understand why he took
his umbrella, if he had suicide in mind.
He certainly had plenty of money
Sunday night and the trip he planned
would cost him several hundred dol
lars. | do not think he would have
talked so much of the trip If he had
not intended TIC take il. He always
carried a very valuable gold watch at
tached to a chain which he obtained in
Scotland. He wore a stick pin which
also came from Scotland and gold
studs and cuff links. / understand that
none of these articles have been found.
The city marshal tells me that one
pair of gold bowed spectacles were
found. He always carried two pair
And he always wore a vest. That is
missing also.
MY husband had a peculiar manner
of carrying his money He made il
up into rolls and carried it in his vest
! have often spoken to him about it.
but he always laughed, saying it was
safe enough. / can't understand what
has become of all these things and |
cannot believe that Mr.. Cameron took
his own life. He wasn't a man who
would brood over trouble and did not
know that he had any"
Coroner Plummer, who is in charge
of the remains, is of the opinion that
Mr. Cameron's death was due to acct
dental drowning, but on account oil
circumstances connected Herewith the
case is still open pending further in
!vestigatlon.
Mr.. Cameron was born in Aberdeen
Scotland. about 60 years ago and was
educated at St. Andrews College, neal

Thousands Are Coming GTeai

Much Interest In the Automobile

II any one thinks that the Hanks
sheW at Capital park next week has in
any way been over-stated they may
readily undeceive themselves by TAX
ing note of the arrival of freight trains
10 this city and observing the numer-
Gus strings of race horses coming in
from every direction Never has such
an array of speed horses gathered at
the capital as are already here ana
more than half of the list are yet TO
come. Many OF these horses are coming
from a great distance, one string be-
ing from Fort Edward, n. Y, another
from Barre, VT, and others from all
over New England.
Every stall of the long line that was
built by the Park Association has been
taken and something like 20 horses
will have to be quartered outside. Ihls
is TO be greatly regretted and should
be remodied, but the association mas
already spent all the funds raised for
the purpose and besides Manager
Hanks has donated something more
than $1,000, which has also been judi
ciously utilized in making the i'm
proVements. II seems too bad that
some way cannot be seen whereby %
additional stalls could not be erected
in the next as hours.
The splendid grandstand is practical

received it's finishing touches. the track
will compare favorably with the eest
race courses in the country ana the
PEOPLE, not of Augusta alone, put OF
the entire state are waiting anxiously
to see what is certain to prove Maine
greatest outdoor SHOW
So important is this show held IN
the minds of those we'll fitted to judge
such matters, that Manager Hanks has
been advised that not less than several
| thousand wealthy horse fanciers from
Boston and vicinity have expressed
| their intention of coming down for the
week.

II is pretty tough luck, when fellow
has been invited out by friends to pass
a day in the country. and part of
the days program is a fishing trip, to
have the pleasure of the occasion MARI
ed by his being pulled up for catching
fish shorter than the law allows. but
that was the fate of an Augusta young
man, or three of them in fact. few
DAYS ago. They had been invited out
10 Belgrade lakes for the day, and as
the place where they went was near
one of the lakes they improved the OPP
portunity offered TO do a little bass
fishing They landed six of those fish
and also some white perch. and were
having a fine time when man came
along and asked them what luck they
were having Wholly unsuspici0us,
they held up the catch, upon which the
man asked them the length of the bass.
Upon measuring the fish il was found
that they averaged about 10 inches IN
length, whereupon the man told them
he was fish warden and that they
were violating the law. as ii required
that bass taken from that lake must be
at least II inches in length, The young
man who had caught the bass had al
ways fshed in Cobbosseeeontee, where
the law requires that bass taken must
be at least 10 inches in length. and
claims that he had no idea that he was
violating the law, but ignorance Of the
law is considered no excuse and it
looks now as If he would have to part
with about 16 of his hard earned dol
lars before the score is wiped out.
