Marion Bevis, senior assistant physic-
ian at the Florida hospital for insane
at Chattahoochee, left today for a
few weeks study of insanity and ner-
vous diseases in similar institutions
in other states, For this trip he is
using his leave of absence granted for
a vacation, but he declares that the
change will rest him and that he will
combine considerable pleasure with
his professional research. He will

ment of mental and nervous disor-
ders with view to studying the most
thoroughly modern methods of caring
for and treating this class of pa
tents.

Kelland, and depicts life in and near
an Arizona mining camp.
In one scene Mr.. Lockwood, as Don
aid Keeth, a young lawyer, attempts
to save a lumberman who plunges
down rocky cascade. In so doing
he loses his own footing, and is swept
after him by the angry current. To-
gether the men struggle in the foam
at the foot of the waterfall and then
Mr.. Lockwood as Keith aidsxx the
smaller, weaker man to a pla{e of
safety. Incidentally, this episode
furnish the material for the climax
of the play; since Dave, the lumber
man, holds the secret that Keith
needs to know in his fight against
graft and corruption, and in gratitude
for his rescue Dave tells the truth.
Lockwood pictures are noted for
the beauty of their photography and
outdoor scenes. Antonio Gaudio is
the camerman in "The Hidden
Spring, as in other recent Metro
Yorke productions, and the viriliH,
and bravery of the star himself muse
receive credit for the vigor and dash
of this and other productions.

Injured in Auto Accident

Mrs. S. j. Wiswell of Cabot is laid up
with two broken ribs, as the result of an
auto accident, which occurred as she was
returning from Montpelier, recently. A.
V. Nelson was driving the auto and when
near Perley Pixies residence in Marsh
9ield, the machine ran into ditch, hit
ting stone, and finally stopped against
telephone pole. Mr.. Nelson cannot
tell really the cause of the accident. He
was thrown against the wind shield,
breaking his nose and otherwise brusing
his face. Mrs. Addison Baker, who ac-
companied Mrs. Wiswell, was badly
shaken up. but no bones were broken.
The auto was run home on its own pow
'er later.
Mrs. Wiswell was the wife of the late
Or. Wiswel and resided in Hyde Park
several years ago.

born March 81, 1851, died Aug. 7, 1S6 [;
Henry Moses, born Aug. 5, 1852; Fred
Harley, born March 8, 1854; Bertron,

Cora Lavonia, born May 25, 1858, died
Oct. 9, 1862.
Henry was born in Waterville, little
village tucked away among the hills and
mountains. But say that was a lively
village in those days, when the wooden
mills and other industries were in full
blast-the busiest place in the county
then. But, alas, all gone, strong remind
ers OF the fTailty of man and his works !
But come on. Henry finished the school
in his native town and went to Morris
vile and graduated from Peoples Acade
my-which many noted men have also
done. He then went to the U. V. NJ, was
valedictorian in 1878, and came to HYDE
Park and taught in the L. Q. A. three
years and then took up the sttdy of law.
entering the office of Brigham & McFar-
land for that purpose, and was admitted
to the bar in 1881. And say. he is one of
the many that the late Judge Powers
loaned money to in order to 60 to col.
lege. He has served as States Attorney.
In 1888 he took to banking and was
