AFLOAT AT SEA.

Ensign William Moore called on us
while visiting his parents here last
week and gave us an interesting ac-
count of his remarkable experience
on a torpedoed ship at sea. Young
! Moore was a sailor on the steamer
Westover, an account of the torpedo
ing of which appeared in this paper
some time ago.
He said his ship, that carried 81
men, was steaming along smoothly, in
the morning at about seven O'Clock,
when the crew felt the impact of
torpedo striking the steamer amid
ship. Some of the air tight compart
ments were stove in, but those aboard
were hopeful of repairing the damage
and proceeding on the journey. But
five minutes later another torpedo
struck the steamer aft and it began
Immediately to settle, and five min
utes later sank into the sea, stern
foremost. The ships boats were
quickly launched and all but twenty
of the men got safely into them. En-
sign Moore was one of this twenty,
who hastily adjusted lifebelts and
swan hurriedly from the sinking
vessel. to avoid being taken down
with the suction of its sinking. Fiji
teen minutes later they were picked
up by the boats, and began the monot-
onous wait for the fortune of discov-
cry by passing ship or favorable
wind to drift them to the shore. The
ship was sunk about four hundred
miles from the French coast We are
not permitted to describe the manner
of the U-boat's attack, beyond the
bare fact of its torpedoing the ship.
Only crackers and water were trans
ferred to the open boats, and for four
DAYS and nights that was the sole
subsistence of the shipwrecked sail
ors. There were plenty of crackers
but the water supply was limited and
when a rain came up they allowed the
crackers to be soaked with the rain
to save the small amount of water on
hand. After four days of drifting
with the wind, which fortunately set
shoreward, a cry of Land ahoy" was
raised. and the tired spirit of the men
gave place to shouts of enthusiasm.
The men were taken to coy French
Hospital where they were given treat
ment and Fest for a number of days,
after which they were sent into the
interior for rest and recreation. En-
sign Moore has been ordered to re-
port for duty. but has not yet been
assigned to a steamer. He will report
at an Atlantic port the last of this
week.

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE.

The big Fourth Liberty Loan drive
will open throughout Ohio county to-
morrow. The country is asked to
raise the sum of five billion dollars.
Ohio county's quota has not yet been
assigned, but will be announced later,
But no amount will be- too big. The
need is great. Already nearly two
million American boys are in Europe,
and must be furnished with arms and
ammunition and food. Failure in any
one of these would mean the sacrifice
of nearly two million American lives.
The call of duty was never so loud be-
fore. Two million human lives are

ROWAN COUNTY TROUBLE.

There is a local section in Ohio
county known as Rowan County
and 1t lies somewhere between Select
and the Butler county line. We are
not advised just how the local appel
lation came about, but those familiar
with the history of Rowan county will
have a surmise.
The latest development in Rowan
is the swearing out of warrants by
Bob Douglas for Jack Shields. Agnes
Shields and Fannie Daugherty. Bob
alleges that Jack. Agnes and Fannie
have threatened to harm both his
body and his property, and prays the
protection of the strong arm of the
law. II is said that Douglas and
Shields have had despute of long
standing over line between their re-
spective farms, and the friction some
times gets warm enough to bring the
matter before the courts.

He later returned to Louisville, and
became well known in business and
social circles. He was member of
the Audubon and Tavern clubs. Mr.
Bardwell has been in failing health
for number of years, and travelled
much in a vain search for health.
He. with his wife, spent the sum-
mer in the south, and came to Tay-
lor Mines only few weeks ago. Mr.,
Bardwell was a man of large culture
and pleasing address, and his death
is a distinct loss to the business and
social world of which he was use
full and agreeable member. He was
forty-four years old at the time OF
his death. 4f.

Sheriff Graham
Convinced Liquor
Privilege Abused

Portland. Me-, Nov. "A strong
hint that investigation Of the per-
sistent smuggling of liquor into this
city by means Of q physicians pre-
scription might result in federal
prosecutions, was made by Sheriff
King F. Graham yesterday. The
sheriff stated that he had not yet
taken the matter up with the feder-
al authorities and did not know how
they would wish to proceed in the
matter. but that he was strongly con-
binced that muah OF the liquor which
came by prescription was not oh
tanned for legitimate medical pur-
poses and that he was determined to
put q stop to such fragrant SNUG
Cling. A persistent effort has been
made by the sheriff's department in
the last week or SO to check up on
these prescriptions-espec such
as have been for very large guam
titles Of liquor.
United States District Attorney
John F. A. Merrill said when ques-
toned in regard to the matter last
night. that if it were proven that II
quor which was brought in in this
fashion was not used for medical
purposes its importation would OF
course be violation Of the bone
dry law and would subject the i'm
porter to prosecution. Likewise n
physician who deliberately issued
prescriptions for larger amounts than
We're necessary might be liable for
conspiracy to evade the law.

Sheriffs Make Great
Haul CT Wet Goods
at Portland, Saturday

Portland, Nov. 3.-One Of the
largest hauls ever made by Sheriff
King F. Graham since he has been
in office was made made by four of
his deputies early Saturday morning
when, after lying in wait for several
hours. they captured on York street,
near the corner of High a high pow
cred limousine laden from top to bot
tom with % ,oze." They not only got
the car and goods. but also the occu-
pants Of the machine. Joseph Dubie
of this city and Robert H. Heating,
who gave Dorchester, Mass. as his
place of residence. The men admitted
to the officers, it is said, that they
had started about 8 o'clock In the
evening from Boston and were seven
hours on the road as they did not
care to risk fast driving which might
have been interrupted by the break
ing Of spring.
The capture was made by Deputy
Sheriffs Hunt. Doughty. Paine and
Bennett after they had lain in wait
for the car for several hours, about
o'clock Saturday morning. In the
machine were 20 cases Of - pints
each Of liquor, while an additional
pint was found about the car. The
curtains were tightly drawn and,
as one of the sheriffs said later,
looked like a herse coming up over
the hill.
On reaching a point on York street
near the corner of High. the car
drew up to the curb apd stopped.
1t is said the two men alighted and
began removing the cases of whis-
key from the machine into u chanty
in the rear of a dwelling.
At this point the officers decided 1t
was time for them to 60 over the
top. and without further ceremony
they took possession of the car, the
remaining two went into the shanty
and quickly ironed the two men to-
gether.
The big machine was taken to the
Jail with the entire contents, and
Saturday morning libels were made
out against both car and contents
When questioned by the officers.
Heating told them that he was paid
SEQ to make the trip, and that the
car. big Packard limousine. Is the
property Of his father a Boston au-
tomobilc dealer.

. DEXTER

News that two Dexter boys, both
members Of Co. A. 103d Infantry, have
died Of wounds in France, has been
received here in letters received by
relatives from other members Of the
company. The two soldiers who died
of their wounds received in action
on or about Sept. Is. are Corporal
Leon Goodwin and Private Edward
j. Pouiilot. Their deaths in a hospi-
tai occurred early in October. no ex-
act dates being mentioned in the let
tiers received here. News of their be-
ing wounded in action was received
several weeks ago.
The sad news has cast a shadow
OF gloom among the many friends of
both boys, who were among the most
youthful members of the Dexter COM
pany Of the old Second Maine Reg
iment. Corporal Goodwin is son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Goodwin Of Wa
terlille. formerly Of this town. He is
about 10 years Of age and had been
promoted to the corporalcy since go
ing overseas. He enlisted in this town
soon after the regiment was called
out for the present war and it was
only by his persistency that he be
came a soldier, his age being against
him at the time. Persistency won,
however, and final consent ct his
parents resulted in his doning the
khaki and becoming a proud MEM
her of Co. A. The news of his death
comes as a sad shock to his parents,
his mother being unaware OF his
death until Friday evening when she
reached here from Waterville for y
brief visit to friends. Besides his pa
rents he is survived by q younger
brother Francis.
Private Edward j. Fouillot was al
SO about 10 years Of age and it was
his patriotism and persistencr that
resulted in his becoming Il soldier
and going overseas with Co. A. His
sad death comes as 4 great shock
to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Christ
Pouillot. His record as Il soldier ha,!
been an excellent one and the latter
containing news Of the deaths of the
two Dexter boys stated that they
died like good soldiers. Private
Pouillot besides his parents. is sur
vived by brother Jerry. who is now
in service in France, q sister, Maggie
and q brother Henry of this town.
The board of health has decided
after careful consideration to keep
things closed for another week as {
matter of precaution against the
further spread of influenza. There IS
no doubt hut many cases Of the dis
ease in a mild form exists here; also
an unusually large number of cases
Of pneumonia which SO frequently
follows the disease. The closing order
will remain the same as during the
past four weeks, there being no SER
vices in the churches Sunday while
