DR.. Harris Tells
Historic Story of
Lovewell's Fight

The Story of Lovewelrs Fight" was
the subject of paper Of much inter-
est read TUESDAY evening, before the
Kennebec Historical Society by DR.. w.
H. Harris The paper had it's creation
ia the extremely pleasant recollection
of the writer of delightful acquain-
tance and eomradeship with the late
Col E c. Harrington. extending over
ia period covered by the last 20 years
of his life, during which it was his
pleasure frequently to be a guest at
the camp of Col. Harrington at Kezar
pond, in the town of Fryeburg. Just a
few miles from Lovewells pond, the
scene of Loyewells fight.
The adventures of Capt. John Love-
well in the latter part of 1924 were not
without some assurance to the frontier
that the end of a long drawn out series
Iof savage depredations was in it's own
hands. Actuated by that belief Love-
well determined upon an expedition to
Inc headquarters of the Saco, where
the Pequawkets had their cornfields
and their tribal habitat.
The Pequawkets had camping
place on the shores of pond under
the shadows of Pine Hill tF'ryeburg).
Paugus was the sachem of their tribe.
Il was in this wild country that Love
wen was to make his final adventure.
He left Dunstable, April 16, 1i25, with
As men for the Pequawket settlement.
On the evening of May they had
crossed the Saco within the present
limits of Fryeburg to come to the
northeastern edge of a considerable
sheet of water.
The discovery of the party by a saw
age hunter, the fight to the death on
the following forenoon between the In
dians and the Dunstable men, which
resulted in the killing of Lovewell and
of the sachem of the tribe. Paugus,
followed by the final retreat of the
savages at nightfall. We're all graphic
ally depicted by DR.. Harris.
The paper was finely read and con-
tanned a great deal of valuable his
terical information in regard to the
Pequawkets and the survivors of Love-
wells fight.
The next meeting of the Historical
Society will be held, Tuesday, March
u. and the paper will be presented by
Supt of Schools Farnsworth G. Mar
shall.

COULD HAVE SAVED MONEY

You can save money by spending it
right, as well as by laying it aside.
For instance there are many people
who do not buy the right medicine for
their ailments. and pay out many dol
lars before they learn just what to do.
Mrs. Alex Dumas, OF Malone, n.
Y. knows this now. She says "A
very heavy cold settled on my lungs
last winter and for three months |
coughed almost constantly AT night
/ could hardly get any sleep. | tried
several medicines but none of them
did me any goods Then l thought
would use Vinol and it began to help
my cough from almost the first dose
Il do not cough at all now, | can
sleep well and have gained much
strength, all because | took your
splendid tonic
When you buy vinol for your cough,
or to build you up, you are getting
the best remedy that can be had and
will not need to experiment with any
Others We guarantee Vinol to do
you good, and will give. back your
money if you are not well satisfied,

Bars Many Articles
Necessary To Health.

But there is another reason why
this bill should not go on the stat
ute books. viz: 1t is so dsa wn that
in placing under the ban that which
It inferentially declares is delete
rious to public order it also strikes
down many articles necessary to
public comfort and health.
The advocates of this bin may
consider that it Is heroic to destroy
beverage even though made aware
of the fact that with 1t they also
destroy the means OF alleviating
human suffering, and, at times, saw
ing lives; but the sober thinker will
take but little time TO reach the
conclusion that the wisdom Of the
proposition is seriously debatable
Another objection to this bill Is
found in section 4, which places
upon the executive Of the state the
duties which as 10 every other Of
Tense except that denounced by this
proposed law Is placed upon the
court officers In the several coun-
ties Of this state This proposition

Becker, according to the district at
torney, stands in the shadow of the
death chair as the case now stands and
his only hope to escape the extreme
penalty is to confess all that he knows.
In order to get the men at the top Of
the graft system Whitman is willing to
grant clemency to Becker. and he be-
lieves that the latter will sooner or
later break down and tell the full story.
Becker's nerve has held, fairly well,
so far but so did the nerve of Rose,
Louis Weber and Harry WALTON until
reflection in their cells for a few days
brought to them realization that the
district attorney had them helplessly
enmeshed in his net. Then they told
all. Becker, the district attorney be

But Becker will stand pat and refuse
to confess, according to announcement

Three Men Named
Besides Becker.

In his confession Rose has named
three men besides Becker who. he says.
Becker told him were appointed to di-
vide the graft money that was extort-
ed from gamblers, disorderly houses
and other forms of vice that can not
exist without police protection Beck
er told him, Rose aftirms, that this graft
money was divided into four equal
parts. Each one Of the men named was
given a fourth to distribute some of it
in the police department and some
among the powerful politicians in this
city
According to Roses confession. one
part went to an inspector Of police who
holds one of the most important sta
lions in this department He is a dis
trict inspector, and his power is such
that he can put any lawbreaker out Of
business # he wants to. Becker told
Rose. according to the latters confess
sion. that this inspector divided a fourth
Of the graft money he received among
the men under him an Of whom are
members Of the police force.
