| long auto rides, boating, camping and pic
| nicing on the beach. Small parties were
scattered from the Boston boat wharf to
Little River. The day was perfect with
clear air and not the faintest indication
of rain. There was a small bonfire in
Post Office square the night before the
! Fourth and the children INDUCED in lot
i of harmless sport with their fireworks,

Elon B. GilchTest met with a very seri-
Gus accident last Thursday evening about
9 O. clock, as he was coming down Waldo
avenue in his Ford runabout. He was
driving at moderate rate of speed when
his car struck a pile of small granite
boulders that had been left unmarked on
the side of the street in front of the Mrs.
Geo. w. Lewis residence. The steering
wheel was evidently lurched from his
hands as the car run over the rocks
toward the side of the street, leaving
black paint from the car on the rocks
On the opposite side of the street there
was line of rough rocks that had been
placed over a washout, leaving a little
over nine feet of clear roadway. His car
turned turtle and Mr.. Gilchrest was
pinned under it in such way he could
not move. Charlie Marsano and Howard
Tibbetts who were riding up the avenue
saw the Gilchrest car approaching and
heard the crash. They went at once to
his assistance and with the aid of Roy E.
Sholes and Walter l. Newton, who live
in the Lewis house, lifted Mr.. Gilchrest
from the street and took him to the Tap
ley hospital, where Drs. Eugene D. Tap
ley and Elmer Small dressed his wound,
severe cut on the left side of his head ex-
tending into the eye He bled profusely
in the street and on the way to the hos
pital. Many who went to the scene where
the accident occurred wonder that he did
not lose his life. Very early the next
morning measurements were taken of
the street and snapshots made. Mr..
Gilchrest is assistant treasurer of the
Belfast Savings Bank and one of the most
popular young men in the city.
