The terrific gale OF Sunday night did
considerable damage in this vicinity.
The greatest loss was to the weir fisher
men ON Union Eiver bay. Few weirs
escaped severe damage, and several on
both sides OF the bay were completely
wrecked. The loss is felt especially at
this time, when, after poor season, the
fishermen were looking hopefully for the
fall run Of fish. Farmers lost principally
through the threshing of fruit from the
trees. In Ellsworth many branches were
stripped from shade trees, but no serious
damage was done. One large branch torn
from an elm tree on Main street, just
missed the bay window Of Mayor Hager-
thy's house.
