support of the family. During the
hearing it developed that he and one
of the boys had started in to buy the
place and between them they had paid
down 80 on il. He also figured
alrite prominently in the procedure
the night of the fight by taking down
a gun in such manner, according to
the testimony, that almost the Whole
household beat a hasty retreat into
the door-yard He maintained that
he was attempting 10 act as peace
maker but to the onlooker the weapon
seemed rather ferocious to be employ
ed in the performance of such duty.
Mrs. Corson guessed Alden furnish
ed about as much as Ike toward the
support of the family.
Considerable time was taken up
questioning Sidney as to how much
he worked and his part in the fight.
John Corson pleaded not guilty to as
saut on his mother. A neighbor,
Amos Corson, thought he had heard
John tell his mother that he had
heard Enough of her CAB" and ad-
vised her to shut her mouth.
Throughout the hearing there were
many amusing incidents but the dis
tnrbance had been a very serious one
and conditions surrounding the home
and the family must be deplorable.
The dwelling contains but two rooms,
one on the first floor and one on the
second. Indications We're that some
times food was scarce and the parties
concerned. who appeared in court
were poorly clad.

During the years OF her residence in
Skowhegan she maintained a warm
interest in Harmony and its people
and each summer spent few months
there among her old friends. Just
prior to her return from that town,

noticably impaired and the beginning

she was greatly interested in
Grange work and although formerly
member OF SkoWhegan Grange while
living in Harmony she transferred
her membership to the Grange in that
town and became master OF that order.
She always retained her membership
there but was loyal attendant on the
meetings Of SkoWhegan Grange and
filled the various Offices therein when
called upon to do so. Within year
or two she has presided over this 10
cal body as its master with the same
ease and grace as in her younger days,
she filled the various chairs OF this
order. She was likewise member
of Somerset Pomona and in the coun-

missed She was a member of Pris-
ella Rebekah Lodge and had been a
member in the past of the Town I'M

Wild Story Unsubstantiated

A wild story has been in circulation
during the last few days to the effect
that Miss Emmaline McAllister, who
recently passed away, had been plac-
ed in the Southside tomb, had been
found in a different position in her
casket, with one arm bitten as though
in frenzy. 1t is reported that this
discovery was made by a friend who
was unable to attend the funeral and
had obtained privileges to visit the
tomb to look at the remains. This
report has been found to be wholly
without foundation as Miss McAllister
was buried, and not placed in the
tomb.

North Arson Firm EAtehsl fely Lum'
herring mt Eustie

Chester Y. Bailey of North anson
and e. L. Fenlason of North Arson
are engaged in very extensive lumber
ing operations at Eustis These
activities are being conducted in the
midst Of a great pine growth and the
firm is cutting norway and white
pine. Two mills are in operation in
the pines and about fifty men are en-
ployed. Before the season is over,
forty horses will be worked in the
extensive labors. Three sets OF farm
buildings which were vacant have
been taken over by the concern for
The housing of the men. A splendid
office has been fitted up and a good
store is conducted for the aecomo-
datiOn of the employees carrying both
clothing and food supplies. supplies
are hauled in daily from North An
son by motor truck, the site OF the
numbering operations being about 45
miles from n. Arson village. This is
a L-"eh different method Of supply
transportation than in the Old days
when teams were required and is a
much cheaper process as well.
In every way eondit ons for lum-
boring are much different than in the
former years as now electricity is
the motorpower for operating the
mills. Automobile routes lead into
the woods and we are informed by
Mr. Bailey that cars can be driven
easily all through the pine groves.
This concern will operate the year
round for probably five years as it is
estimated the total cut will be from
eight to ten million. The output per
year is supposed to be two million.
Bailey and Fenlason have contracted
with the North Arson Manufacturing
Company to cut the timber, haul it to
the mill and then convey the boards
to Bigelow where they will be dressed
and shipped to market from that
point. A million and half of logs
are already piled up about the mills
James Fentiman is foreman in these
operations but either Mr.. Bailey or
time.
