at Municipal Court Room Tuesday
Evening

The proposition of a baseball team
for Skowhegan is being agitated
among those behind the project being
R. L. Marston, F. w. Briggs, Guss
Pooler and C. H. Smith. We have
had some pretty good games of the
High School class, this season and for
several years past with now and then
a contest of professional character,
but the present purpose is to assem-
Bile an aggregation of players that
can start out with a good show for
the Maine championship A good
ball team is an asset to any communi-
ty. 1t Is to be hoped the plans now
on foot will materialize rapidly.
Those interested are asked to meet
at the Municipal Court Room, next

LIVING WITNESS OF
DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Denies Suggestions Pre-
viously Made
A Letter from Mrs. Janet Durgin
Corrects Some Impressions of last
Winters Tragedy at Dead Stream
Pond Camps

Mrs. Janet L. Durgin, proprietress
of the Dead Stream Camps, the only
living witness of the tragedy which
occurred on February 23rd regrets
that so many MISUNDERSTANDING
have arisen regarding the matter
The various reports which have been
printed in the papers have been un-
just both to Hawes and to Bushong
and annoying to Mrs. Durgin.
Feeling that this impression should
be corrected Mrs Durgin writes the
following letter:
Lake Moxie, Maine. May &c. 1915.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Company,
Skowhegan, Maine.
| wish to deny the suggestions
which have been printed in various
papers that Perloy Hawes, who shot
Claude Bushong in my presence, did
so by reason of jealousy on account
of Bushongs attention to me- Hawes
was working at my camps to pay a
loan of $3.50. This had been ad-
vanced to him to help him secure
his release from the Army, by myself
and Arthur E. Durgin. who was my
husband at the time the loan was
made
Neither Halves nor anyone else
knew that Bushong and myself were
10 be married. Had he been aware
OF this fact 1t should not have con-
eerned him In the least He had
never proffered attention. nor had
he been encouraged to do so by me.
Hawes was often grumbing and
hnding fault with Mr.. Bushong about
the work but neither Mr. Bushong
nor myself accepted this of any Inn
portance and Hawes certainly had
no occasion TO care what our plans
Tor the future were. | certainly
never should have considered matri
mony with man of the manners
and habits of life which Mr., Hawes
had and | will give him credit tor
having sense enough 10 know this.
THOSE who were AT the Camps and
IN this vicinity know that the above
statement Ia sincere and absolutely
correct | am making II in justice
10 myself and To the two men whose
lives were extinguished by this trag-
edy and who should not be mlsrc-
presented and misunderstood
