of the clothing in her arms and at
tempted to extinguish the fire in this

stream of water on the blazing gar
ments and the fire was eXtingushed
with small damage. In the stable
chamber overhead was a quantity of
hay and just a few feet from the
blaze stood an automobile, and had
it not been for the quickness and
presence of mind shown by Mrs.
Bateman the buildings would have
been burned. Mrs. Bateman was quite
badly burned about the hands and
arms. The cause of the fire is mys-
terry.

other states and was very success
full. After severing his connection
with the Transcript he was employed
at the Danvers hospital in Massachu
sets for some time and came to Nor
ridgewock about % years ago, buying
what was known as the Crosby farm
on the Madison road, where he since
lived. Part of the time he drove a
milk route about town, but for the
greater part of the time attended to
the business about the farm alone.
For the past few years he had been
in failing health. His wife, former
ly Miss Sarah Harris of Waterville,
whom he married in early life sur
wives. All of his near relatives in
Vassalboro have passed away, leav-
ing him the last of this family. Ser
