Mrs Alden Quimby of Mexico,
widow of the unfortunate young hunt
er who was accidentally and fatally
shot last week in the Cupsuptic reg
ion, wishes it known that it was not
her husband who was in the automo-
bile accident last spring, in which MS
father received injuries which caused
his death a short time later. Mrs.
Quimby. who was formerly Miss Mar
garet Mcdonald of Lynn. Mass, where
she was employed in restaurant, de-
clares il was not Mr.. Quimby who fired

house last october. and that before the

that there was no sign on the house
that explosives were stored within.
She quotes her husband as having

The first nuncupative will ever filed
in the Androscoggin probate court so
far as known was filed Saturday. A
nuncupative will is will that is made
orally in the presence of three wit
nesses. This will is also unusual be-
cause the copy that one of the witness
es made at the time, is in Polish. This
copy, made by the witness is the one
that was filed. This is the will of John
Sinkunas late of Lisbon, who was
burned to death in vat in the
Worumbus mill at Lisbon Falls. sew
eral weeks ago. He leaves all his
property to his mother if she is living
on down to the last brother. The
notice reads: John Sinkunas late Of

The discontinuance Of trains, which
when taken off are usually found by
the public to have been very con-
venient, does not appear to be a real
modern custom, judging by the fol-
lowing item from the Portland Ad-
vertiser of Nov. 30, 1863:
The early Monday, and the late
Saturday night trains on the Portland
& Kennebec road have been discon-
tinued."
1t is TO be hoped that the ArroWsic
party who found the two partly filled
grain bags by the side of the road late
the other afternoon took them away
merely for safe keeping, because the
owner, Mrs. G. H. Perry of that town,
had left them there on account of the
bad travelling. They were missing the
next morning when she went after
them.
A party Of deputy sheriffs from
Bath had occasion early last Sunday
morning to go to Richmond by motor
boat and they had a delightful trip.
1t was fallish weather at 4.30 A. Nj.
Then they ran into fog, ran aground
in the mud and finally had to break
fairly thick ice. They had the salts
faction, however, of getting what they
went after, a large seizure of liquor.
They had the man also, but he slipped
out the door. clad in undershirt, trous-
ers and slippers and was still going al

in court at Bath Monday morning, as
promised by counsel.
