was the breaking of the rear axle, I'M
til the following Monday morning.
and during that interval about every
thing movable on the machine was
carried away.
Mr.. Davis advertised for the missing
articles but secured no clue to their
whereabouts and heard nothing Of
them until when in response to no.
tice Tuesday from a friend in Gardi-
ner that man had been arrested in
Auburn for stealing an auto he went
to that city and looked over the stolen

three inner tubes. two shoes and
gas tank which he identified as his

The old overhead bridge of the Maine
Central Railroad across upper Water
street, which was moved last Sunday
in order that the new double-track
bridge now approaching completion
could be placed in commission, is now
thing of the past and the steel grid
ers and cross-pieces which had been
used in its construction will be rele-
gated to the scrap heap. The north
girder OF the old bridge was lifted
from it's position Tuesday morning by
the big crane of the Phoenix Bridge
Co. and later loaded on to a fiat car
together with the cross-pieces of the
bridge and hauled away, and Wednes-
day morning the other girder followed
suit, and everything is now in reAdi-
ness for the putting together of the
new overhead bridge, which will be
quite bit longer than the old struc-
ture The work will be carried ahead

the prettiest and best appointed OF
any of the rural schools in Augusta,
stands on knoll on the east eide of
the Church Hill road, commanding a
fine outlook of the surrounding cuun-
try. The lot is ample, being 20-x100
feet, and was given for the purpose by

mirably suited in every way for the
ffiuses to which 1t has been devoted.
The contract for the building was

is S2x25 feet ON the ground. with hip
roof and heavy overhang and false
rafters, and everything in connection
with the building and It's fittings is
Of the most modern type. The school
room is fitted with adjustable seats,

The woods fire on Poreupine Ridge,
in the vicinity of Cross Hill, which
was supposed to have been extinguish-
ed Tuesday afternoon. sprung up
again Wednesday morning and gave
the fire fighters which included some
of the people of that neighborhood
also Chief Engineer Buckley and a
gang of men from the city proper an
other days work. Chief Buckley said
last evening that though the fire had
covered an area of something like %
acres the actual damage done was
small. bitches were run about the
area, and old rotten stumps which
were good feeders to the flames, were
knocked to pieces. The fire was wholly
1on the ground ans was fed mainly by
leaves and other litter. Last night it
appeared to- be conquered. hut Mr..
Weeks, on whose land the fire travelled
to great extent. was advised to keep
a few men on watch to Sc that it did
not get another start. as eevrything is
so dry at present that it takes but
little to ge a fire going.
