0. w. Tapley, consistent with his BUSH
ness as an insurance man, has set an ex-
ample for other property-owners by clear
ing out the attic of the Tapley block on
Main street. The danger from FIRE be-
cause OF cluttered and unclean sttics and
cellars is now recognized by insurance un-
derwriters, and an additional charge ia
being made on risks where such are found.
There is likely at any time to be a new
schedule OF insurance rating tor Ellis
worth, when these things will be taken
into consideration. Property-owners
would do well to follow the example set
by Mr.. Tapley. The insurance companies
are placing premium on cleanliness.

c. /. Staples, OF Ellsworth, is in the
market for tame rabbit. He was driv-
ing his automobile over the McFarland's
hill road one afternoon recently, looking
for "budder", when a rabbit dashed
across the road and into the brush. Mr..
Staples stopped his car, got out his gun
and blazed away at the rabbit, then some
distance away. The rabbit promptly
died. Mr.. Staples was examining its
pretty pink eyes and white coat when he
heard a wall behind him, and distressed
small boy appeared, crying, "You've
shot my pet rabbit" Mr.. Staples
couldn't supply another live rabbit on the
spot, and he rendered the only balm
available, incidentally telling the boy to
say nothing about it. But the boy came
into Ellsworth to spend some OF the
"balm'', and the story was out.
Capt. John A. Lord reports that his
and goods and money to the value Of S25
or more were stolen. Capt. Lord, who
lives alone, attended lodge Monday even
ing, returning home about 10 o'clock.
The house was entered and ransacked
during his absence. Entrance was gained
by a kitchen window, and a door opened
from the inside to admit others. There
were evidently three or four engaged in
the burglary. This is the third time
within ten days. Capt. Lord says, that his
house has been entered, and cigars,
money, watches, tobacco, pipes and other
articles to the value OF nearly 800 have
been taken. Capt. Lord thinks he has
pretty good idea who the thieves are, and
is inclined to push matters against them.
This is a pretty serious offense; 1t goes
beyond the class OF petty thievery or
malicious mischief. 1t is breaking, en-
tering and larceny-a State prison offense.
