gagged after school ore night last

passing Of time until the supper hour
was nearly at hand. To her conster-
nation she found her only means Of
exit was oy the way Of the fire escape.

suit the feat would not have been so
dificult, but under the circumstances
she found it Z long long way to terra
firna." Her would be secret was d.

Several prominent citizens Of Bris-
tol being dissatisfied with the action Of
the Maine Legislature in passing the
bill for the division of Bristol and tne
incorporation Of the new town of
South Bristol, are stimulating a move
ment to invoke the referendum. If a
petition with such a request and signed
by 10000 names, is filed with the secre-
tary Of State not later than ninety
days after the bill was acted upon by
the Legislature, the question will be
presented to the people of Maine at
the next biennial election in the fall of
1916. II. however, the proposed plan
fails to be successful, the new town of
South Bristol will be incorporated next
July. The non -divisionists Of the town
claim that the line Of division as pro-
posed by South Bristol is unfair and
thst the charges of the supporters of
the separation movement are unreal
sonable. Among the citizens who hot
ly oppose the division are ex-Repre-
sentative Robert H. Dram, Fish War
den Nathaniel J. Hanna, Supt. of
Schools Norris A. Miller and others
prominent in town affairs. The valua-
tion Of the section which would be in
corporated into the new town is esti-
mated at about 1886. 900. and. it is said,
the number Of polls would be about
200.
