CHAPTER xvlll.-continued.

Eldridge detailed the same reason
ing, at greater length, to the men who
had employed him. These were very
impatient. Business was being not
merely impeded, but destroyed Their
customers had no time for them; their
employees were in many cases leaving
their jobs. They called in all the
help they could to assist Eldridge's
speculations, but in the end they had
to fall back on the scientist as the
best on the market. The case was not
left in his hands alone, however. After
meeting they offered a reward to any
one discovering and putting TO an end

These events occupied the three
days of the ordered exodus. The time
was further filled with rumor that ever
grew more dire. Gradually business
was suspended entirely. Those who
could not or would not go away stood
about talking matters over, and, as
is always the case, matters did not
improve in the telling. The only ac-
tivity in the city was that bent on

Eldridge had now come to the con-
sclusion that he had perhaps been mis-
taken in combining his efforts to so

DANGEROUS FOREST
FIRES NEAR PORTLAND

Portland. Me-, Oct. 13-During the past
few days large crews of men have been
fighting dangerous forest and brush fires
in half a dozen locations within a few
miles of this city. In two cases at least
farm buildings have been endangered and
assistance has been summoned from sur
rounding cities in fighting the flames. Re-
ports from the fire districts this morning,
however, tend to show that much pro-
gress has been made in subduing the
flames and unless a high wind prevails
within a few hours there seems to be
reason to believe that all danger is past.
The lack of rain and the unseasonably
warm, dry weather of the past few weeks
is reported to have dried the underbrush
and ground to such an extent that once
a fire is started ii works it way beneath
the ground in all directions and with
brisk wind blowing ii is almost impossi-
bic to make any progress in checking the
spread of the flames.
Two fires which caused much damage
and threatened thousands of dollars
worth of farm and town property burned
briskly in Westbrook. Gorham and Scar
boro yesterday and at one time threaten
ed to wipe out farm buildings along Bux
ton road at the Westbrook- Scarboro line

WATERvILLE.
BERT P. WELLS CRUSHED
TO DEATH UNDER BOILER

Crushed beneath steam boiler
weighing between four and five tons,
which he was engaged in moving from
the Eaton lot south of the Edith build
ing to the Maine Central station, Bert
T. Wells, proprietor of local truck
ing frm, met instant death at about
$40 Tuesday evening.
The scene of the fatality was on
Pleasant street, near the junction with
Main street at point about equally
distant from the Armour Cos, build
ing and the Flood coal office The
moving of the big. boiler had attract
ed considerable attention. 1t was for
merry part of the apparatus of the
Waterville Steam laundry, which was
destroyed by fire July 4, 1913 Since
work began on the new Steam Laun-
dry building, the boiler has rested on
the Eaton lot. Yesterday afternoon, a
few minutes after o'clock, Mr.. Wells,
with the aid of half a dozen men and
six horses started. to move it to the
Maine Central freight station, where
1t was to be shipped away. The boiler
was mounted on skids with pair of
wheels at the front, hollow iron roll
ers about two inches in diameter be-
ing used between the skids and the
surface of the street. The progress of
the big boiler up Main street anG
across by North street to Pleasant
street was watched by a small crowd,
which took considerable interest in lis
progress.
Opposite the Flood coal office the
horses stopped for one of their many
breathing spaces, and started again.

of the boiler in the act of putting a
roller under the forward part of the
right skid. The roller had become bent
under the weight of the boiler. and
as it revolved into place beneath the
skid it struck him a blow on the head
and in an instant he was dragged be-
meath the heavy mass of wood and
iron. The boiler was not upset.
Bystanders lent ready hands to the
members of the crew. 1t required the
united efforts of 10 men to jack up the
boiler so that his body, the skull ter
ribiy crushed and the features I'M
recogniza BILE, could be removed "A ply
stefan said that death was instanta-
neous. The remains were taken to
Redington's undertaking rooms, await
ing the funeral arrangements, which
had not been made last evening.
Bert Wells was one of the most pop
ular and likeable business men in this
city. where his sterling traits as a
hard working, straightforward man
among men won him many friends,
to whom his death is great shock.
He was IS years old and was born in
Canaan, Me, but had lived many years
in Wateryille.
The widow and one daughter, Grace,
wife of Arthur Thompson, survive.

IN THE Grip OF
FOREST FIRES

Boston, Oct. 13.-Forest and brush
fires which devastated large areas or
woodland in eastern Massachusetts
yesterday and early today were re-
ported under control this afternoon
The worst fire was at Lynnfield where
nearly 1000 acres were burned over.
The Upland Club and three camps
were destroyed. The loss on the
camps was estimated at $4,000.
The Lynnfield fire originated at
Hawkes. Corner, North Saugus, and,
famed by a 40-mie breeze. swept
about three miles along the Newbury-
port turnpike. 1t burned eastward
about two miles to the shores of Wal
den Pond. A three days fight by the
Lynn, Saugus, Wakefield and Peabody
fire departments, brought the blaze
under control today.
Woods and brush fires were also re-
ported from Lexington, Beverly, New
buryport. Newbury, Georgetown, Whit
man, Swampscott, Marblehead. Me-
