He Didn't See if
A Train Was Near

A decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission in
the matter of the accident which oc-
CURED at Hunters Crossing near
Freeport, on July last when a Maine
Central passenger train struck a Ford
automobile driven by Patrick H.
Hunter. which resulted in Miss Mar
garet j. Hunter and Mrs. Helen
Reed of Freeport and Lois Quin-
cannon Of Portland being instantly
killed and Patrick H. Hunter, Mrs.
Maud Aucher Of Fairfield and Eliza
beth Quincannon of Portland dying
on the same day at the Central
Maine General hospital at Lewiston
where they were taken after the ac-
cident.
For some unknown reason Mr..
Hunter came onto this crossing
without stopping to ascertain
whether or not a train was coming" I"
say the commissioners.
Possibly the very fact that he
lived so near the crossing and was
probably familiar with the passing
of the regular trains may have
caused him to give less attention to
the possibility that an extra train
might go over the crossing at this
time.
The view at this crossing can be
somewhat improved by cutting down
the bushes and grass at the angle,
and possibly also by cutting down the
bank to some extent, but the lay of
the land is such that a fair view
cannot be obtained at all points
within the $50 feet radius, and the

Death Of Amos EIIs

A decision has been rendered
Wednesday by the Public Utilities
Commission in the matter of the ac-
cident which occurred near Green
vile Village June % last. which re-
suited in the death of Amos Ellis. a
lineman Of Greenville Village, aged
IS years. who was instantly killed on
June %. 1919. about 1920 A. M. at
the Porter Farm. so called. near
Greenville Village, by being electro
cuted when he was attempting to re-
pair the transformer of the electric
light pole. Mr. Ellis was a lineman
employed by the Penobscot Raw
Electric Co. and had been sent to the
Porter farm to restore the Porter
service to working condition. He had
telephoned the power station re-
questing that the current be turned
of from the line, which was done,
and he then examined the transform
er at the Porter farm. He then d.
rected the current to be turned on
again. and climbed the pole which
held the transformer and replaced
the southerly plug in the cut-out
box. He then attempted to replace
the other plug when he received the
shock which caused his death.
"A subsequent examination of the
transformer showed that it was in
bad condition, caused no doubt by
the lightning.
For some reason, which cannot be
explained. Mr.. Ellis failed to recog-
nize the condition of this transformer
and thereby exposed himself to the
dangerous situation which resulted
in his DEATH

a DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to a semi-liqxid form.
In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to dry
porder form with extract of matted
grains, acithom cane sugar.
This product HoRLlck named
Matted hRIlk. (Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate.
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.
