BROWNS SUNDAY
IN THE kENNEbEC

Leon Liberite. aged eight years. son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Liberite Of
Bacon street, was drowned in the
Kennebec near the upper Maine Cen
trail railroad bridge. Saturday after
noon. The boy in company with q
number Of others of about his own
age was playing on the logs and the
boom, at about the middle Of the
river. 1t being Saturday afternoon,
the men employed on the boom, were
not at work so the boys were having
things all their own way and were
thoroughly enjoying themselves. In
some way, young Liberite lost his
balance and fell in and his frightened
companions were unable to do any
thing to save him. They ran to the
shore where his father was notified
and then the police department. His
father went at once to the place and
by means Of grapples succeeded In
bringing the body to the surface. In
the meantime Headquarters Man
Sturtevant had reached the scene and
the boy was promptly taken in an au-
tomobile to the Office Of DR.. E. p. Fish.

life extinct and also deemed an in
quest unnecessary. The funeral will
be held at 9 o'clock Monday morn

Traffic ARRANGEMENTS for Fair

City Marshal Jepson was busy Sat
! urday and Sunday getting things lined
up for the fair in his department. A
| number of special officers will be en-
ployed and every arrangement posi-
ble made for handling the large crowd
expected with as little trouble and
bother as possible. Mr.. Jepson went
| overvthe route from the city to the
park ON Saturday morning, and as a
result of his trip will change the way
of going to the park which has been
in force for the past few years. This
year the cars will keep up Western av-
enue and on the return will come down
Oakland street. This will eliminate the
dangerous crossover at the end of the
bridge on Western avenue, and will
also do away with the blind crossing at
the corner of Western avenue and the
| rangeway road. officers will be station
ed at the corner of Western avenue
and Cool streets. and at the corner of
the rangeway road and Oakland street
and they will strictly enforce these
rules so that there should be no con-
fusion. In the city proper the new
ira ffic rules will be enforced very strict
ly and while the department hopes that
it will not be necessary the men will
have instructions to arrest promptly
anyone who does not obey the orders
of the officers to get in line. 1t is not
the intention of the department to work
any hardship on anyone, but a large
crowd is looked for and in order to
handle it right, the rules Of the city
have got to be enforced.

Race Horses Have Close Call

Inc string Of race horses being
campaigned by 1. w. Pottle Of Lews
lston had narrow escape Sunday
| morning when fire was discovered in
| the car in which they were being taxi
en- from Bangor to the track here. The
horses had come in from Bangor dur
ing the night and the car, a big Arms
Palace horse car, had been set down
near the freight depot to be unloaded
Sunday morning. The men who trav-
ell with the horses had left to go to
breakfast when smoke was discover
ed coming from the car by some of
the teamsters who are hauling stuff to
the falr grounds. An alarm was i'm
mediately sounded from Box 213 at
b.35 and the department made a Quick
response. The car door was opened
and the fire was found to be in the
straw In the bottom of the car, and
that 1t had also spread to the blan-
kets OF the horses and the name and
tall of one horse was. on fire. The
chemical hose of the auto truck
quickly cared for what blaze there
was and the horses were taken out of
the car as quickly as possible. All
came out alive, but 1t is thought that
one Of them, Governor Guild, owned
by P. H. Barr Of Bridgewater. Mass,
will die from his burns. Another
horse. Wendlewood, owned by Mr..
Pottle. is also burned badly but will
come out all right. The other IL
horses in the car were apparently un-
injured. All Of the horses except the
Governor Guild horse were taken to-
the track where in the afternoon they
appeared to be ready to go out and
race and none the worse for their
narrow escape. The other horse was
removed to the stables Of DR.. A. Jolly
and Is being cared for by the doctor.
who Is trying hard to save him, al
though offering no encouragement to
his owner. who is in the city That
any Of the string was saved can be-
attributed to two things, first the
teamsters being busy about the freight
station and second to the big auto
truck Of the Waterville department
Driver Reed was on the truck. Mr..
Perry being on his vacation, and he
made an, exceptionally quick run. It
was seen that there was no time to
lay hose II the horses were to be saw
led. but the powerful chemical Of the
truck proved suficient. Two differ
|ent members Of the department who
have been with 1t for years, said that
every horse in the car would have
been dead in fye minutes If they had
not arrived just when they did, as the
horses were probably worth on an av-s
'erase Of $1,000 apiece. the auto truck
made Z big saving for somebody.

that four months ago to the very day her
husband, the late William Barton, was
buried. and of the strong bond they had
formed throughout their long lives. After
these services the Ladies Relief Corps
of the G. A. r.. of which Mrs. Barton
was prominent member, took charge of
the services. which were also very i'm
pressive and very worthy of the deceas-
ed one. The bearers were Charles H.
Barton. Lester Simpson. George Learned
and Frank Learned. The interment was
in the family lot in Pine Grove Gem

train it was unheralded and even the
station employees did not know it was
coming until it,appeared in the station.
On Of the ast t train in, the car ca
were served with lunches from the sta
ZION restaurant, but this time the
doors were kept closed and the only
signs Of life about the train were in
the engine and an occasional face at
one of the barred windows Of the treas
ure cars. The train was preceded by a
pilot train which was 10 minutes
ahead Of it.
