UP RIVER DEPUTY.
SHERIFF
Is Sunday School Su-
perintendent
This New Religious Institution Has
Been Organized at lockwood with
W. II. Maynard at Its Head

LOCKWOOD, MARCH 31--Rev. c.
j. Brown of Bangor has been at
lockwood for the purpose of organ
izing a Sunday School in that place.
There were many present to listen
to his fine address upon "A Mans
Job" and officers of the school were
elected as follows: Deputy Sheriff
Walter H. Maynard, superintendent: ::
Mrs. McBane, assistant superinten-
dent; Miss McCalder, treasurer; Mrs.
Van Dyke. organist; teachers, Mrs,
Thos. Raney. Mrs. Guy Whitten, Mrs,
Menshean ard Mrs. Gross Services
were held last Sunday led by Mr.,
Maynard. There was good atten-
dance and the feeling is that the
school will grow. Rev. Mr. Brown
will again hold services in Rock
wood. April II and at that time will
baptise Mr. Maynard two year old
son, Roger. lockwood is one of
Somerset's northernmost towns and
The efforts made in this direction are
surely very commendable.

EXCELLENT FINANCIAL CONDITION IN THE
TEXTILE INDUSTRIES OF SK0WHEeAN
c. P. Merrill Retires from Presidency of Board
of Trade. A. R. Jewett his Successor.

commenting its loyalty to Somerset
and its Board of Trade, Mr.. Merrill
thanked the members for the splen-
did support given the board by both
money and attendance, and he ap-
pealed to those present not to be
discouraged because of the unpleas-
ant references to the organization at
the recent town meeting, and because
of the shameful and unjust attack
made upon Mr. Ordway whom every
member well knows is called upon
more times and to do more work
than any other one member of the
board and who has its full confidence
and support. He asked that the in
cident be made an incentive for more
energy rather than less, and that all
possible support be given to the new
officers, and that we continue our
work for the best interests of Show
hegan.
The matter of street sprinkling was
taken up by the members during the
evening and the consensus of opinions
seemed to be that something must be
done. w. p. Ordway suggested the
use of tarvia for the business, sec
tions andeon tv4,, the residential sec
tions. The matter of having the
streets respiked and the taryia re-
moved in order that oil or water
might be used was also spoken of.
Street lighting, with ornamental
lights and standards was discussed
and appeared to be thought favorably
of, ard it was decided that Mer-
chants Day would be held under the
direction of this organization, the
date and appointment of committees
to be announced at later meeting.
Last year Merchants Day was OBJ
served on June 16, and it is quite
likely that the event will again oc-
cur near that date.

A UNIQUE CHkRAC-
TER DEAD
Horace Parkman Lived
Many Years Alone
Death Occurred Saturday from Pneu-
mOnia. He Had Been Ill for Ses-
eral Days

Horace X. Parkman. aged -, an
eccentric resident of Lakewood died
Saturday at local hospital, whittier
he had been removed earlier in the
week He lived alone and was found
sick 1t was his custom to blow
horn in times of i'll health, but this
had become SO frequent an occurrence
that persons did not heed the sum
mons with over alacrity and when
found on this occasion contrary to
their expectations, he proved to be
quite i'll. Arrangements were made
for caretaker, but this did not prove
pleasing to the patient and he insisted
upon being alone. He was eventu
ally taken in charge by F. Elmer
Nolin and was then taken by ambu
lance to the Hospital. The funeral
was held yesterday from the home of
his brother, Urban Parkman on Sum-
mer ST.
Horace X Parkman had lived
man Hill in this town and was the
soS CT paniel and Lydp "aeN'eN
= .4s.. sror1ng r. h. .aoou
he became nurse and was engaged
in caring for an aged man in another
state for a time. 1t is understood
that upon the death of this patient,
Parkman received considerable
money. Returning to Skowhegan he
built what is thought to be the first
cottage at Lake Wesserunsett about
80 years ago, where he lived alone.
He later bought l. acres of land and
built two or more cottages thereon,
one of which he occupied both sum
mer and winter. He also sold off
lots of land as the shores of the lake
grew popular for summer dwellers.
Portions of his land not far from
the Lakewood Inn were grotesquely
arranged and bore strange signs. this
all being the handiwork of the ec
centric resident. He was exceeding
ly peculiar in some instances parti-
cularly with his relation with whom
he did not mingle and found but few
people whom he cared for. He was
however a familiar figure and the
summer residents will many of them
recall him. He was also well known
in Skowhegan as he occasionally
came to town to call upon acquain-
tances here.

The seventh annual business meet
ing of the Skowhegan Board of Trade
was held Tuesday evening in the
Municipal Court Room The real
business of the evening resulted in
the election of new board of officers
and the choice of Arthur r. Jewett,
formerly 1st vice president, as sue
cessor to Carleton P. Merrill, who
has served as the efficient president
for several years and whe declined
to longer hold the office. Other Of
fcers elected were H. L. SWEET, 1st
vice president; Charles w. Day, End
vice president; John L. Fish, secre-
tary and treasurer
Mr. Merrill, the retiring president,
briefly addressed the meeting, saying
that we could look back on the work
of the Board for the past few years
with considerable degree of satisfac-
ton, not that we had accomplished
all we could wish, but that what we
had done was we'll worth all the cost.
Among the important meetings of
the year he recalled the pleasure and
the extraordinary honor with which
the board had been favored in the
presence of President VIM. M. Wood
and his associates at its banquet.
which he believed had resulted in a
condition of mutual interest between
the town and the company, and his
announcement that this weeks local
pay roll at the Skowhegan plant of
the American Woolen Company would
be the largest in it's history met with
applause.
He reviewed conditions in general
so far as they pertained to Skowhe-
gan, giving us to believe we had rea
son to be thankful rather than other
wise, and that better things were
bound to come.

COURT CONvENES
TUESDAY
Canaan Murder Case To
Be Tried
List of Jurors Practically Completed.
Assignments for the First Day

The spring term of the Supreme
Judicial Court will convene next
Tuesday with Judge Arno W. King
of Ellsworth as the presiding justice.
Among the important cases scheduled
for trial, the most important will
probably be the Canaan murder case,
in which Verde w. Nelson of Canaan
will be tried for murder of Bert Ire
land also of Canaan. The body of Ire
land was found badly mutilated in
his -~e and at v->''H i's~s'=- -
the evidence against Nelson was pure
ly circumstantial Since the winter
term of Court Nelson has been in the
State Hospital at Augusta for obser-
vation, it being understood that the
plea of not guilty by reason of in
sanity was to be made, but from GER
tain sources it has appeared
that he has not been considered in
sane at the hospital. The case will
probably not be tried until the latter
part of the term.
The cases assigned for the first day
are William f. Clifford, Admr. VS.
Maine Central Railroad Co.; Stand
ard Wholesale Phosphate Co, VS. ].
Oryille Jeffrey ct al; and Effie Martin
VS. Earl j. Bean. The first is an
action brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover the value of carts attached to
a tractor engine which it was claim
ed was run into by the train in New
port. In the second case action is
brought to recover for a phosphate
bill and in the third an action is
brought on an annexed account in
which there is a question of services.
There are 375 cases on the Civil
docket, forty-five on the equity and
fifteen on the criminal docket
