Henry Adamsen Of Bangor, Finiander,
aged about fifty-five years, was drowned
yesterday at Green Lake, while swimming.
Adamsen came down from Bangor on
the early morning train yesterday, going
down the lake to the small camp of q
fellow countryman on the western shore
OF the narrows, Q short distance above The
fish hatchery buildings.
In the middle of the forenoon, while the
men Of the camp were of at work in the
woods, and the wife OF the owner was
busy in camp, Adamsen went to the shore
for swim. No one saw him or heard any
outcry. When the men returned for din
ner, they found his clothing on the boat
landing, and even then did not know
whether he was in the water or had gone
of into the woods.
His disappearance was finally reported
to the officers at Ellsworth, and City Mar
shal SiIvy and Deputy Sheriff Patten went
to the place late in the afternoon, locating
Adamsen's body in fe y minutes, just off
the end OF the float, and soon recovering
it. Medical Examiner Hodgkins was
notified and went to the scene last night.

Accident at Coaling Station,

Charles Severance OF Marlboro, en-
ployed at the coaling station at East La
moline, is in a critical condition at hi
home, from burns received Monday after
noon.
Severance, with others, was engaged in
discharging a cargo Of sodium nitrate
from a steamer at the government wharf.
Having been engaged in the work some
days, his clothing had become thor
oughly saturated with the highly infiam-
mable stuff.
In some way, probably from friction,
some matches in his pocket were ignited,
and in moment he was a mass OF flames.
Fellow workmen, at the risk Of their own
lives, tore the clothing from him rs
quickly as possible, but not before ne was
severely burned over the thighs, hips and
abdomen. The burns were deep in some
places, but the serious feature is the large
area OF the body burned.
His burns we're dressed by DIR. G. G.
Knowlton Of Ellsworth, and at his own
request he was taken to his home at Marl-
poro instead of to q hospital.
