for several years been in small and in
adequate quarters on the first floor of
the north wing, was on Monday remov-
ed to the old quarters of the weight 8
and measures department of the agri-
cultural depa rtment. This is fine
light room, large enough for the pur-
pose and with steps leading to the win-
dow used for receiving and sending
mail. 1t also has a grated delivery win
dow in the corridor door and will be
much more convenient in every way
The old employees room is in the
hands Of the renovators and will after
its rehabilitation be occupied by Joseph
P. Grenier, superintendent of public
printing. The employees are at present
making their headquarters in the boil

being warm and roomy.

Owing to the high water in the
Kennebec river and the strong cur
rent in the river below the Augusta
dam it has been impossible thus far
to do anything in the way Of search
ing for the bodies of the two little
boys. Eddie Thibodeau and Alfred
Jacques, Jr., who were drowned late
Sunday afternoon when their boat
was carried over the dam, but Act
ing City Marshal McCausland will
have men make an effort this morn
ing to locate the bodies. AS the place
where the boat went over the dam
was at a point but a short distance
east OF the gate house it is thought
possible that the bodies may have
lodged against a stone breakwater
that was a few years ago built out
from the west shore Of the river and
not far below the dam, and it is at
the north side Of this breakwater'
that the grapnels will be tried this
morning. If nothing is found it IS
considered probable that the SER
vices of Joseph Nicholas. the subma-
rine diver, will later be secured. but
with the height Of water and the
strength of current that is now rum
ming in that locality it would be not
he possible for a diver to work.

Winnie Croker of Brooks. barely
90 years OF age is again in the hands

Crocker was released from the

served a ten months term for forg-

was done for him that could be done,
and he was given a chance to 60
straight. Although he was in Jail

rot punished for that and while under
the care of Sheriff Cushman the lat
ter tried to influence the boy for

home OF Mrs. Hattie Roberts OF Bel

school with the family horse and
grocery wagon and he failed to re-
turn. He was traced to several of the

rested in Albion Saturday. He had

horse for sorrel one and had an old
road cart in place of the wagon. 1t
is said at the Jail that it will take
some little time to trace and untangle

Crocker was committed to jail this
morning. At the hearing he ad-
mitted his guilt but gave no reason
for his conduct.
