CLEANUP DAY.
The Plan Meeting with
Approval Throughout City.
Dirt and Filth Must Go, and
The Work Already Under Way.
Suggestion for a Holiday or Half
Holiday, at Least, on Thursday.

The following communication from
Il prominent and loyal Augusta citizen,
is Indicative of the general interest in
the cleaner and better city movement:
There has not been in Augusta for
many a day movement which has re-
ceived such general approval as the
plan for Cleanup Day. Everybody
praises the idea and seems ready to
assist But why should it not be so?
Nature has done everything for this
section. Where our city is unsishtly it
lis mans work. And one of the aims
of this day is to remove what inter
lferes with the beauty of this splendid
lefty.
In every church in the city, last
sunday, the program of the mayor
was commended. All of the boys and
girls of the schools are ready to coop
| erate. They simply await the word ON
Thursday next to proceed in solid
ranks against the unsightly and I'M
sanitary places about town. We are
to see, unless all indications are I'M
trustworthy, a tremendous amount of
rubbish burned up or removed by next
Thursday night. Many are not wait
ing for Thursday. they are seeing
what can be done before that day.
The Board of Trade, the Board of
Health, the Women's Clubs have Of
fered their fullest assistance. 1t is to
be a e-days decisive battle against
birth and filth, and the people are to
be the victors, If each citizen will
look about his own premises and have
the paper raked up and burned and
the cans removed, a great result will
be achieved.
1t has been suggested that the day
should be made a holiday. or at least
half of the day should see the bust
ness places and the schools closed so
as to permit the men and the children
time for the work planned If this
could be done great amount of good
would be accomplished. Let our civic
pride take possession of us on next
Thursday, to the extent that on Fri
day the whole city can rejoice over its
achievements

Joseph Dyer and Forest Knowles,

secured small amount of booty,

Deputy Bullock has already traced
the two fugitives through four coun
ties and they are still at large and
threaten that they will not be taken
alive. Both men are said to be heav-
lily armed and will undoubtedly cause
the officers some difficulty in captur

1t was learned, Monday, that
Knowles was in the town of Vienna
he having sent to this city for some
clothing. The man who came to this
city for the clothing Immediately n
formed the officers that Knowles could
be found in Vienna, as he was stop

upon learning of this, started at once
for his man. Deputy Sheriff James
Tebbetts of Belgrade was notified, as
was also Deputy Henry McCausland
of Readfield and Deputy Wallace San

made in an automobile to house on

was alleged that Knowles was in hid

over 800 yards away. The officers or
dered him to halt, but as he paid no
attention he was fired upon, nine shots
were fired at the fleeing man, five of
| which were discharged from Deputy
| Tebbetts' revolver, but this did not
stop the eet-footed fugitive. After
| he reached the woods his hat which
| was picked up by Deputy Bullock was
found to have a bullet hole through
the crown. Evidently he was given at
least a scare.
The woods in that section are very
dense and would enable the evader OF

path which Knowles took in escaping
from the officers, failed to show any

that he was not harmed by the volleS

prison records and are said to be de
