Roosevelt Club to be Organized.

As was announced in the last Demo
crat, a meeting was held in Grand Army
Hall Monday evening Of last week pre-
liminary to the organization OF a Roose.
velt Club. 1t Is understood that 1t will
not be called Bull Moose Club, but that
it will be made up Of those who will
work for the election Of Roosevelt as
president.
The meeting was called to order by
Alton c. Wheeler, Esq, who after brief
remarks called upon Hon. Jesse n. Lib
by of Mechanic Falls. Mr.. Libby de-
voted some time to review Of the pro-
ceedings of the Republican convention at
Chicago, where he was q delegate and
served on the committee on credentials.
He went In some detail into the Califor-
mia and Kansas contests. He character
lied the proceedings there relative to tho
decision Of contests as too rotten to be
recorded, and disgrace to the Repub-
lican party.
Hon. James s. Wright was called upon
by Chairman Wheeler, and said that he
had always been q Republican, voting
the straight ticket, and that he had no
desire to leave the party, but he felt that
conditions demanded the election OF
Roosevelt.
Chairman Wheeler said he had been
told by Taft supporters that he would
become an outlaw II he supported Roose-
velt, but that he recognized the fact that
he had been reelected to the legislature
BY voters large majority Of whom were
of the Roosevelt following, and that he
was also firm believer in the Roosevelt
principles. He also mentioned the fact
that he and all but one other of the Sec
ond Congressional District Republican
Committee had sent In their designations,
as being the fair thing for all concerned.
Later In the evening Willis B. Hall OF
Caribou, who was in town, addressed the
meeting, calling attention to the fact
that Aroostook County In the recent
election gave q Republican plurality OF
about 24OO, and that Taft had very few
supporters there, on account OF bis reel
procity measure.
Wallace B. Strickland was elected sec
retary of the meeting, and 1t was decid-
cd to call the organization the Roosevelt
Club. A committee on enrolment OF
eleven members was chosen.
This committee Is circulating enroll
ment papers, and already has two or
three hundred names Of voters on them.
A meeting will be held some time this
week to complete the organization

There was much delay In obtaining ,

nearest coroner was Albert P. Bassett Of
Norway, and he was at Lowell, but wa
summoned, and arrived after few hours

In the search for q coroner, q. A.

not get here until after Coroner Basset
had arrived and taken charge Of the
case.
Nothing that has happened here II

All the bodies of the victims were

Three are Killed and Two Injured
Norway Train and Automobile Crash Together at
Hicks Crossing In South Paris.
Proprietor Instant Death Two
Students Seriously furtb viii Recover

What was certainly the worst accident,
20 far a. loss OF life 10 concerned, that
has happened in this vicinity within at
least generation, occurred Friday after
noon, when q train on the Norway
Branch Railroad and Q touring car con-
tanning five people met on the crossing
on Pleasant Street in South Paris village,
which ia popularity known a. Hicks
crossing. Three Of the occupants of the
automobile were killed outright, and the
other two were seriously Injured but
will recover.
The dead are:
Harry B. Smith of South Paris, 81
years Of age, garage proprietor.
Miss Dorothy Esther Grose, II years
Of age, daughter Of George D. Grose Of
Sumner.
Miss Bessie May Fairclough, 1S years
of age, daughter Of W. R. Fairclough Of
Richmond, and sister of Professor w. w.
Fairclough of Hebron Academy.
The injured:
William Edmund Walker, son of w.
A. Walker, proprietor of the Acadian
House at Castine, thigh broken and
other injuries.
Forrest Burbank Conant, son Of A. A.
Conant, rural mail carrier, of Hebron,
wrist broken and other injuries.
All the occupants of the Car except
Smith were students at Hebron Academy,
and members of the class of 1918
The automobile was that Of Mr.. Con-
ant who had invited the other students
to ride With him. Some trouble de-
veloped with the engine, and the car
was stopped at Smiths garage for him
to investigate it. Smith got In and was
running the car towards Norway for
that purpose.
The Norway Branch train, Fl. E. Will
son of South Paris conductor and E. N.
Anderson of South Paris engineer, had
run to Norway from South Paris after
the arrival of the afternoon express at
South Paris at Ala, and the engine was
returning, hauling two freight cars. The
engine was at the head of the train, but
was running backwards, that is, with
the tender ahead, as 1t always has to in
that direction. 1t was little before
five O'Clock that the accident occurred.
Several people who saw the collision,
as we'll as the men in the cab Of the en-
CINE, say that the automobile was run
ming at a high rate of speed, and that
Mr.. Smith seemed to be intent on the
working of the engine, and did not notice
the train until 1t was close upon them.
Some think that in the last instant he at
mpted to swerve to the right and avoid
the collision. Engineer Anderson put
on the emergency brake, and brought
the train to a stop in short distance.
Death must have been instantaneous
to the three people. The bodies were
thrown or carried some distance, that OF
one of the girls being q hundred feet
from the scene Of the accident, and terri
bly, mangled, while the others were not
quite so badly mutilated. The automo-
bile was entirely demolished, and the
whole scene was shocking one.
