Paris, Sept. 28.-Desperate attacks
made by the Germans between the
River Aisne and the Argonne forest
have been repulsd by the allied French
and British troops, according to Of
ficial announcements this afternoon.
This is at the east end of the CEN
ter of the opposing armies.
The statement follows: "There is
nothing new in the general situation
and relative calm prevails on part
of the front. At certain points, par
tcularly between the Aisne and Ar
gonne, the enemy continually at
tempts new and violent attacks, which
are repulsed."
1t is frankly admitted at headquar-
ters that, though a decisive phase of
the conflict has been reached and the
allies have suppressed the continual
attacks of the Germans, it is impos
sible to predict when the struggle will
end.
"The break must come, however"
said high official. "It is almost inn
possible that the enemy can withstand
much longer the pressure of the allies.
Their recuperative power has surprised
us and their repeated counter attacks
are most amazing. We know they have
suffered heavily, yet their attacks are
apparently as strong as ever. There
is hard task before us, but our troops
realize that the final result will be in
their favor"

SELF DEFENSE

William Bailey shot and killed
Thomas Fitz at lockwood Saturday

boisterous and when ordered to leave,
resorted to abusive language, remark
ing to Bailey:
"One of us has got to die" at the
same time picking up heavy weight
lying on scales nearby. Bailey Sc
cured a weapon and ordered Fitz to
stand back. In the fracas that fol-
lowed Fitz was shot three times and
died few minutes later.
Coroner Petefoon left at once for
the scene and an inquest was held i'm
mediately after his arrival. A jury
was sworn in and, after hearing the

Fitz was ''killed by gunshot wounds
at the hands of William Bailey, in

ruff and if the scalp itches, do not
think it must always be that way,

They took their pay in gold dust, which
was weighed in order to determine its
value The business was successful.
Within one year he had accumulated a
surplus which enabled him to send the
5000 back home to his father for the can
collation. of the mortgage. Proud he was
of this accomplishment and rejoiced was
his father at his success.
After remaining in California about
four years. he returned over land to his
home in the East, but stopping however
for awhile in the famous Black Hills of
Dakota.
Back home and again among friends
and fellow-tewnsmen, he turned his at
tention to the saw mill business, buying
that well-known mill by the bridge which
crosses the Carrabassett at East New
Portland. At this time he married Sarah
Josephine Boynton. on March 18th, 1856.
To them one child was born, Imogene
now Mrs Lavella Norton, so well-known
in Kingefild. Mrs. Parker lived only a
few years after their marriage,
Mr.. Parker bought the grist mill at
North New Portland which he operated
in connection with his saw-mill at the
east Village,
Today there is still standing a substan-
tial two-story brick building at East
New Portland which Mr. Parker built
about 1860. In the lower part Mr. Par
ker conducted the grocery business, and
resided with his family in the upper
part. While in business here he married
Dorean Dennis, May 30, 1863.
Having had a good opportunity to sell
his property and business here, he again
took up the grocery business in the city
of Augusta. Here is where he made a
distinct business success. His first bust
ness partner was Mr.. Percival, and the
firm name was Parker & Percival. Later
Mr. PercivaI sold his interest and the
new firm was Parker & Weber Their
store was on Water street near the pres
ent site of the postoffiee.
In Augusta Mr.. Parker held some pub
lie Offices. such as overseer of the poor
and alderman. He took active part in
the public affairs of the city.
One of the chief characteristics of Mr..
Parker, was his inventive genius. He al
ways seemed to be able to see a way of
improving things, and in very many in
stances he evolved ideas which resulted
in his obtaining patents. While in the
grocery business here in Augusta he de-
vised a simple way of handling large
barrels and hogsheads which were filled
with molasses, vinegar, ETC., so that the
amount desired could be drawn out of the
barrel in the quickest possible time, and
without loss of any of its contents. This
was accomplished by his patented
"Hogs-head and Barrel Horse" which
consisted of a base supporting four small
iron wheels upon which the barrel rest
ed These wheels acted similarly to BALL
bearings. Anyone can see how readily a
barrel of heavy weight could be handled.
Another patent was Cheese Cutter, con-
sisting of a wooden disc upon which
a cheese could be placed, and equipped
with large knife which could be operat-
ed by either hand or foot power, and the
cheese cut as easily and accurately as
anyone could desire. Still another in
vention was a Butter Knife, which would
cut the butter squarely and into cubes,
enabling him to facilitate the correct
