A Meeting That Was Not, and No On.
Knows why Not.

Knows Why Not.
IHE AMERICAN announced last week 4
meetinssto be held Thursday evening. to
Dc addressed BY the officers Of the coast
reserve force stationed at Bar Harbor.
IHE AMERICAN received request last
wednesday noon, from Frank n, Smith.
Y. g. N, who has been working with the
omcers at Bar Hsrbor, to make the an
nouncement Of the meeting; that they
were coming up to stir up little en-
thusissm here and get more enroIlments
TOT the naval reserve force. THE AMERI-
CAN understood that the meeting had
nothing to do with the patriotic cele-
oration being arranged in Ellsworth.
Thursday afternoon it became noised
about that there would be no meeting,
ana the reason given was that the
officers at Bar harbor were too busy to
come up.
The meeting was not held. Many
people went to the hall expecting 1t, and
many more would have been there but for
the fact that the announcement that it
bad been postponed was given out early
in the afternoon.
But the strange thing about 1t is that
while in Ellsworth 1t was stated that the
meeting was called on by the officers at
Bar Harbor, in Bar Harbor It was an
nounced that the meeting was called of
by Ellsworth. THE AMERICAN Ia unable
to find anyone in Ellsworth in authority
who called of the meeting. There 10
clearly . misunderstanding somew here.
1t Ia probable that the officers at Bar Har-
Dor, hearing Of the patriotic demonstra-
ton and meeting planned by Ellsworth
for to-day, confused 1t with their own
meeting announced for last Thursday, and
assumed that it had been postponed.
Lieut.. w. q. Richardson, in command
Of the headquarters at Bar Harbor, gives
TO the press tho following statement re-
gsrding the postponement OF the meet
ing:

DIES OF SHOCK
Fisherman Ends Life By Leap From
Dora on Her Last
Trip To West.

Details have just been made public
OF the death of John Norheim, who
committed suicide by jumping over
board from the Dora on its last trip
to the westward.
A peculiar incident connected with
the death is that although Norheim
jumped into the water ne did not die
from drowning. A witness TO the o.
currence says that Norheim was at
no time submerged and must have died
from the shock Of the cold wat0.
Norheim was q fisherman who had
come to Seward on the last trip of the
Dora and was returning to Unga TO
engage in fishing at the time of his
death. His remains were buried at
Uyak and all details have been report
ed to the U. S. commissioner.
