The sheriffs department of Cum
berland county and the parents oe
William c. Curtis, living at Fall
mouth, are making State wide
search for their son, who disappeared
from his home Sunday morning, June
80. They have asked the co-opera-
ton of the newspapers Of the State
in tracing him and have offered a
reward for information concerning
him.
Curtis. who is % years old. left his
home Sunday morning to go fishing
on the Piscataqua river. When he
failed to return home that night
search was instituted and his fish,
ing rod was found in the mud.
Many theories have been advanced
for his disappearance. One was that
this has been given up, as positive
proof has been received by the Off
Gals that he boarded an east bound
train. Officials of the State have
been notified. Curtis has been iden-
titled in Augusta and word to that
effect has been received by his par
ents. His parents are of the opinion
that he sought work on farm
around Augusta.
His parents state that he has not
been well in his mind for the past
winter and at times he has been act
ing strange.
Curtis is about FIVE feet seven
inches tall, weighing between $50 and
100; has dark bushy hair, dark
eyes, heavy eyebrows and a very fair
complexion. He is somewhat round
shouldered and stoops when he
walks. He was dressed in worn blue
striped overalls and jumper. the
jumper pinned across his breast with
a safety pin; gray cap; heavy brown
shoes and khaki pants which showed
below his overalls and a dark blue
flannel shirt.

A Correction

The recently published list OF
nominees in tbs primaries contain
CO the name Of John W Higgins of
Skowheean as the Democratic nom
ince for register of probate for Som
crs"t cnuntY. 1t should have read:
Republican nominee for register IF
decds for Somerset county The mis-
take probably occurred through Mr..
Perkins having received two votes
for register of probate on the Dem
ocratic ticket. although Adam S,mp-
son of Skowhegan received the nom
ination with 23 votes.
A Peculiar Case
4 letter of Official notification was
sent by registered mail on Thursday
10 the address "Bryon Mayo, South
west Harhor. Me" that name haV-
ing received pa votes for the Dem
ncraiic candidate for county com
missioner of Hancock county on the
Democratic ticket. with John II.
Stafford of Bar Harhor receiving 20
votes.
Mr.. Mayo died on June IA and the
remains were buried on June Is, a
day before the primary election. A
question thus arises as to the nom
inee. Attorney General Sturgis has
stated that it is a we'll known fact in
law that person receiving the mi
nority number Of votes cannot be
nominated
1T has been suggested by a Dem
ocratic State committeeman that the
official notice required by law be
sent to the name which received tire
highest number of votes; then. if m
acceptance is not received within he
legal seven days, vacancy. accord

ing TO tho primary law. will exist and
the county committee can fill The
vacancy by appointment. 1t is not
unlikely that the situation will so be
handled.
Rumor also says that a Democrat
