News was received in Ellsworth
last Wednesday of the death of Mrs.
Oliver L. Anderson at Cambridge,
Mass, on Tuesday, Dec. %. Mr..
Anderson, a former Ellsworth boy,
died in Cambridge. Mass. on August
27. Mrs. Anderson's death came
very suddenly Since the death of
Mr.. Anderson, she had been living in
Taunton. Monday of last week she
came to Cambridge, the guest of Mrs.
William P. Clough, formerly of Ellis
worth. She seemed apparently well,
| but Mrs. Clough thought she acted
! strangely, and several times during
| the afternoon she said Oliver was
| calling her." At the dinner table
| in the evening she suddenly COM
planned of a pain in her head, and
lapsed at once into unconsciousness.
She died the following day at Mrs.
| Clough's home, without regaining
consciousness. Cerebral hemOr-
rhage was the cause of death. Mrs.
Anderson was Cherryfield girl.
! Last summer, with her husband, they
! visited her former home in Cherry

worth.

letter from Ellsworth accepting his
proposition was not forwarded to him
from his home address, and did not

worth A. G. and high school teams,
who were to play the demonstration
game, gave an interesting exhibition

A. c. was defeated by the Easterns of
Brewer, by the score of 40 to "a.
! The game was better than the score
would indicate. At the end of the
| first period Ellsworth was leading by
two points, and at the end of the
second period the game was tie.
Ellsworth lacked staying quality,
however, and during the last two
periods the visitors forged ahead.
Friday evening the Ellsworth A. c.
team will play the Park A. A.
of Orono. The game will be called
at S.15. The attendance at the
Ellsworth games has not been as
large as it should be. In the belief
that the practice of reserving the
front gallery seats may have some
thing to do with this, the manage
ment has decided to do away with re-
served seats, and at future games all
will be rush" seats. Unless the
team receives better support, it will
