HOW GARDINER
IMPRESSED VISITOR
81 YEARS AGO

It is sometimes interesting to know
tor. 1t certainly would be to Gardiner
residents at the present time to know
the impression their city made and
undoubtedly the residents Of this city
some 67 years ago were interested in
the following which was written by a
visitor and printed in the Kennebec
Transcript, a semiweekly, in the issue
of March 20. 1850:
1.-The physiognomy Of Gardiner is
decidedly striking. 1t is masculine in
the extreme. There is nothing boyish
or effeminate about it-not but that
there are boys and girls enough Of all
ages in the place-but we are speak
ing of the city, not the citizens. 1t has
a rough day-laboring look. which
makes you feel at home at once on en-
tering it, that here is health, here are
bone and muscle, the vigor and the
energy to make business thrive, and
the place go ahead through thick and
thin. 1t is none Of your level, smooth
faced. quiet, genteel, tamelooking

word handsome in the sense that Ia

trary, the general cast of its features
is decidedly repulsive; but as with

fairly in the middle, between the rails.
He blew the signal but the man ap-
parently paid no attention to that AS
the train approached the man turned
around, fell down, with his body &C, oss
one rail, and rolled down over the en-
bankment The train was stopped and
the man was picked up, placed aboard
the train and carried into this city.
An examination was made of the man
directly upon arrival at the station but
at that time no cause could be found
for the unconscious condition. He was
later removed to the Sisters hospital,
where up to late hour Wednesday
night he still remained in that condi-

being five feet, six inches tall and
weighing about $40 pounds. He ha ;
light hair and is light complexioned. A
gold watch and a gold ring are among
his possessions, but no marks of iden-
tification could be found about his
person.
The conductor in charge of the train
is G. w. Plaisted and the engineer Fl.
E. Gordon. 1t is understood that the
engineer claims that the man was not
struck at all by the engine. which only
adds more mystery to the cause of
the situation.
