Thomas Garry OF Brooklyn, N Y,
died yesterday morning at West Hancock.
Mr.. Barry, who was an expert mechanic,
was brought here about six weeks ago
by Pearl s. Thorsen, in the hope that the
change would benefit his health. After

short time ago by his wife and two
children, and they have been occupying
the Fred Linscott house at West Hancock.

| Helen Marie, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Fl. c. Pomroy of Gardiner, formerly of
Ellsworth, was married Wednesday,
April IT, to Donald E. Brooks of Ran
dolph. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. H. s. Dow, of the Highland
avenue Methodist church, at his home.

OF the groom, was maid OF honor, and

District Inspector Hennessey, in charge
Of the enforcement of the federal game
law for the protection Of migratory birds,
was in Ellsworth recently, investigating
conditions here and along the coast. In
company with Game Warden Macomber
| . tNY,
his request, Warden Macon Der has since
made some investigation as to the con-
dition of birds. He finds Egypt lay full
of black ducks, apparently in good con-
dition. There is no evidence that the
law preventing spring hunting is being
violated. The federal government means
to see that this law is enforced, and it is
probabl that MIR. Macomber will be ap-
pointed federal warden.
The most interesting relic Of the war
yet received in Ellsworth is attracting
considera Bile attention at the store of the
Morrison JOY Co. 1t is a German trench
helmet, taken from a dead Hun on a
battlefield near Verdun, and sent to John

Carroll j. Swan, OF the 1O1st Massa-
chusetts infantry. Capt. Swans regiment
was one of the first assigned to front-line
service in France and has figured
frequently in press dispatches. He was
for time attached to headquarters, but
his heart was with his company, and
he finally succeeded in getting back to it.
He has drilled these boys, he says, ''and
when they go over the top, want to &c
with them"
Mrs. c. A. Clement of Ellsworth has re-
ceived a letter from her grandson, Wal
