Russell, the fourteen-y year-old son Of
Edwin G. Frost OF Mariaville, was
severely injured by an automobile in
Ellsworth this morning. The boy was
crossing Main street, near the Wescott
store, when struck by an automobile
driven by Fred Lindsey Of BIuehill. The
| boy went under the car, but it is thought
the wheels.did not go over him. His back
and left shoulder were badly bruised,
but it is thought.no bones were broken.
The boy says he saw the car coming, but
thought he could get across the street
before it reached him. The driver OF
the car says the boy ran directly in front
OF the car, and he could not stop quickly
| enough to avoid hitting him.
/ There seems to be some mis- understand
| ing among the hunters OF Ellsworth and
vicinity with regard to the open season on
| partridge and woodcock. The last legis-
lature changed the open time on partridge
so that it would conform to the federal
law on woodcock. The open season on
from October to November 30, both days
inclusive. This makes the opening of the
seast on partridge two weeks later than
last year and extends the season two weeks
later. Open season on ducks is from Sep
tember Is to December 81, both days inclu
sive. This year, however, Septe mber Is
falls on Sunday, so that the season begins
September II. The season on ducks opens
two weeks later and closes two weeks
later than formerly.
Arrangements are practically completed
for the annual fair OF the Methodist socie-
ty, to be held at Hancock hall Wednes-

Arthur II. Gray of Bluehill, and John f.
Burdge OF Somerville, Mass, took French
leave from the county jail Monday, but
were captured before night. The boys had
been set at work saving wood in the
basement OF the Jail house. During the
absence for few minutes of Sheriff
Wescott, who had stepped across to the
clerk of courts office, the boys made
their escape. They were traced to the shore
road, and Sheriff Wescott, who had gone
around by way of Ellsworth Falls to head
them off, caught glimpse OF them there.
They darted into the woods when they saw
him coming, and being alone he could not
locate them. While he returned to the city
to obtain assistance, the boys made their
way across the railroad to the woods near
the standpipe. Two boys we're seen to
board the gravel tram north bound, and
this started the officers on a false scent.
These boys were found at East Holden,
and though they answered the general
description, proved 10 be the wrong boys.
In the meantime Mrs. Wescott had been
telephoning in all directions, and got
results when She called up Constable
George NJ. Stewart OF North Hancock. He
reported seeing two boys answering the
description. Acting under instructions
from Ellsworth, he followed them,
capturing them near Hancock corner and
landing them safely back in the
Ellsworth Jail. Gray, who recently
completed a sentence for larceny, was
committed last week on q similar charge
for another term OF two months By the
Bar Harbor municipal court. Burdge
was arrested only last Friday for breaking
into a cottage at Phillips lake.
