The tn pg that strikes one making

the number Of suits of clothes that

hangers so they may be examined. It
does not seem as IL there could be so

SUICIDE OF ERNEST EVANS.
Believed to BE Despondent Because of I'm.
happy Love Affair.

Correspondence Bangor Commercial.
SWANvILLE, March 6. Hanging from beam
In the barn of his step-grandfsther, Rod ey
HasWell, where he had been employed for six
years, the body of Ernest Evans of Monroe, life
extinct, was found on Sunday morning by his
aunt, Mrs. Edith Lancier, when she went to call
him to breakfast.
The affair is of the oldest and has cast
a gloom over the community both here and in
Monroe where Mr.. Evans was well known and
liked, being of a retiring and reserved but al
Ways kindly nature. He was known to have
become somewhat respondent when early last
fall his friendship with young Monroe wo-
man, distant cousin, was broken off On
Saturday afternoon, however, according to
custom of some weeks, he went to Belfast to
call on a young woman there, but returned
very early in the evening. His aunt called him
to his late supper, which she had prepared as
soon as ne came in and he seemed to be pre-
occupied. saying nothing and going about his
chores as if absent-minded and with none of
his usual willingness. He retired early and on
Sunday morning arose and usual built the
Kitchen hre, leaving the house shortly at the
hour for morning milking. When the fam
lily had assembled at the breakfast table, he
had not returned
Mrs. Lancier. stepping out, saw that the
milk pals were on their nails. She at once
went toward the barn and called, supposing
him to be at work there, but getting no reply,
hurried to the barn, to see her nephew's cody
dangling from beam, heavy rope about his
neck. She ran to the house, calling for aid.
DR. Vickery, medical examiner, was summoned
from Belfast. He pronounced life extinct,
probably for some hours, and arrangements
were made at once for the removal of the re-
mans to the home of the parents in Monroe.
Mr.. Evans was. the son of Mr.. and Mrs Edmund
Evans of Monroe. His age was 26 years. He
is survived by his parents; by four brothers,
Chester. Lyman. Everett and Lnwood, all
younger, and by two sisters, Esther and Abbie;
by his grandmother, Mrs. Haswel who is very
~: he was member of the Knights of Py-
thias. and was a young man respected by all
who knew him; of good habits, quiet and in
dustrious. His act can be attributed to no
other cause than dependency.

LETTER TO GOVERNOR OF MAINE.
News and Citizen. Hyde Park, Vt, March 2,
1916


1916
The Selectmen of Morristown sent the fol-
lowing night letter to the Governor of Maine
Thursday:
Dear Governor: 1t would be to the interest
of your State to call home your ex- Mayor Ham
son OF Belfast, even if you are obliged to put
MIN on the retired list at salary of $50, 900
year, for it is certainly shame and disgrace
TO any State to have man like Mr. Hanson 20
out and bellttle it ss he is doing If conditions
are half as bad as he publicly declares they are
Maine is not fit for decent people to live in.
The way Mr.. Hanson pictures it out gives us
TO understand the State is rum. soaked from
one end to the other, and that the greater
part are drun1ards and will drink anything
they can get hold of. He has given US the
formula how his so.called shoot. leg" whiskey
is made and claims it is sold quite extensively.
Now we Vermont people have always UNDER
stood that Maine is a beautiful State, good peo-
pie and high morals; and while we do not ex-
Pect that every person in Maine is strictly
law-abldlng we did suppose that they would
average up with other States.
Mr' Hanson took great pains to exhibit
photos of saloons in Maine and told us how
much it cost to equip them; in fact, no one
couid oraW worse picture of your State than
ne is publicly exhibiting at this time all over
Vermont.
Now as this letter is written III friendly
and brotherly spirit, we would be pleased to
hear from you, stating what your opinion is.
Respectfully yours.
