ARDONIA CLOUTIER
WANTED BY POLICE
is BEHIND BARS
Will Be Tried Today for Lar.
ceny of Watch and
Money

The police made capture Thursday
noon of one Ardonia Cloutier. an inter-
view with whom had been very much de-
sired for about three weeks past, but who
had because of the fact that he was
equally DESTROYS of keeping out of the
way of the officers of the law rendered
it for the time being impossible for them
to get in touch with him. The reason
why Ardonia persisted in keeping out Of
the way of the police was that he was
wanted by them for the larceny OF a
watch and some money from the rooms
of the Naturalization Club on upper State
street.
The young man had kept an eye open
for the police ever since the fact OF the
theft became known and had kept out OF
their way, but Thursday noon City Mar
shall Colgan received a telephone message
that Ardonia was on Franklin street and
lost no time In sending Special Officer
Benner to that locality. with the result
that Ardonfa, who did not recognize the
officer in plain clothes, was captured and
locked up at the police station to await
hearing this morning before the munic-
ipal court

Anne Gaboury, 8 Years Old,
Loses Life at 11.30 Thurs
day Forenoon-Was in a
Boat with Boy Companion
JUMPS FROM BOAT
AND GRABS LOG
Thinking He Would Save Him
self and browns Before Fa-
theirs Eyes-Osine Des Jar
dins Stays in Boat and Is
Saved

Anne Gaboury, the S-year- old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Levi Cyr Of II Jefferson
street, lost his life at about 11.30
Thursday forenoon by drowning, when
he came over the Kennebec dam with
his arms clutched to a log. Young
Gaboury with boy companion of the
same age and whose name is Osnie
DesJardins, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
DesJardins of s Franklin street, had
taken boat only a few minutes be-
fore the accident and started from
the west side of the river to the east
after some cherries. They had got
most across the river when they went
through an opening in the boom and
got mixed UP with the logs. Before
they knew it their boat was going
fast toward the dam. The fathers of
both boys were at work on the west
shore. Mr.. DesJardins took a boat
as soon as he saw the danger and
started as fast as he could for the
two young lads, Mr.. Cyr at the same
time yelling for the boys to remain in
the boat and not jump out. Young
DesJardins obeyed but the Gaboury
boy, knowing that his father once
went over the dam on log, thought
that he could save himself in the
same manner, and consequently leap
ed from the boat and grabbed a log
He was carried over the dam where
he. was caught by the swift current
and lost from view. The DesJardins
lad stuck to the boat and came over
the dam all right. Although the boat
partly filled with water, there was
not enough in it to sink it. The boat
continued down the river to a point
a little above the new railroad bridge
where it caught by a rope across the
boom and stopped. Mr.. DesJardins al
| once went out and rescued his son.
For the entire afternoon graphing
| for the body Of the Gaboury boy was
in progress. but with no results. II
will probably be resumed this morn
ing.
After the DesJardins lad recovered
! from his excitement, he informed his
| father and Mr.. Cyr that he saw his
| companion two or three times under
the water after he came over the dam
| but could aid him in no way as he die
not even have a paddle in the boat
Neither of the young lads could swim

The Regulars Start Thursday

Long Hike

A vasitor on the State Camp ground
Thursday evening would scarcely real
ize that Wednesday morning 667
Guardsmen and officers were encamped
on the field. In the afternoon Thurs
day the work Of taking down the
framework of the mess tents was COM
pleted. The men of the Quartermas-
ters department were busy and will
be for some time to come-folding up
the tents and storing them away for
the winter and taking account of stock.
The baggage teams of the regiment
and the hospital team were taken
from the field in the afternoon. leay-
ing no signs of the encampment. A
crew of men was kept busy all Thurs
day morning carrying away the rocks
which had been put under the fau-
Gets of the mess tents.
The work of taking care Of the equip
ment will probably keep the men in
the ouartermaster's department busy
until the time of the State shoot in
Auburn, when the services of these
men will be required there to make
camp for the 300 or 400 competing

Thursday morning for Readfeld, the

1883 miles to Breton Woods, n. H.
Although hike of 1893 miles seems
like quite an undertaking for the COM
pany 1t will not seem so large when 1t
is taken into consideration that the
average march of the Guardsmen a
day is about u miles and the longest
march of any day is but 1867 miles,
from Wilton to Dixfield. 1t is probable
that the regulars will finish their hike

mainder Of the day for rest Accord
ing to the schedule there will be no

Examination of Structure on
Thursday Shows State of AT
fairs To Be Worse Than Had
Been Anticipated
LOWER PLANKING AND
STRINGERS VERY BAD
Highway Committee Will Rec
ommend That the Bridge Be
Thoroughly Repaired and at
Once

That the Kennebec bridge must be
repaired, and that too at once, became
apparent Thursday morning when a
portion Of the planking was removed
from the driveway and near the west
end Of the structure for the purpose
of ascertaining just what was needed,
which work was done in connection
with some proposed repairs to the
bridge. 1t has been known for some
time that something would have to be
done in the way of repairs in order
to maintain the bridge in a condition
of safety for the immense amount of
travel which annually passes over the
structure, and action has been taken
this year by the city council with a
view to covering the bridge with wood
block paving, but the gravity of the
situation as regards the safety of the
bridge was not learned until Thursday
morning.
When a portion of the upper plank
ing, which was laid during the sum-
mer Of 1912. was removed the under
planking was found to be in anything
but safe condition and in many
places was badly rotted, and not only
was this condition found to exist in
the planking but also in some of the
stringers upon which the planking
rests. At some points where the up
per planking was removed the condi-
ton of the under planks was found to
be such that q crowbar could easily
be driven through them. Men familiar
with the bridge state that the condi-
nf 81
end of the bridge is even worse than
that where the examination was made
Many citizens visited the bridge dur
ing the day and all were of the same
opinion as regards the imperative ne
cessity of the repairs
In consequence of existing conditions
Mayor Newbert and the members oil
the joint standing committee or
highways and sewers met Thursday
afternoon at the mayors office in City
hall and after a careful consideration
of the matter voted to recommend t.
the city council at the meeting to be
held next Monday evening that the
structure be surfaced with wood bloch
paving. The Lewiston, Augusta
Waterville Street Railway, whose
track crosses the lnridge and which
corporation will bean a portion of tbs
expense, will probably put steel string.
| ers under its track in place of wood
and change the light rails now in U.S.
for heavy girder rails, which would
materially stiffen the bridge.
The bridge has now been STANDING
| for "a years and it is believed tina
the proposed repairs which will be car
ried out in a first class manner, will
| guarantee a satisfactory condition fol
| the structure for % years to come. I
was felt by the members of the com.
mittee at the meeting Thursday after
noon that when the matter is brough
before the council at the meeting mex
| Monday evening here will not be dis
senting voice. If the order for thu
repairs on the bridge is passed tn,
work on the structure will be com
menced just as soon as the necessar!
material can be secured.
