Health Officer Woodruff reports
the scarlet fever situation as i'm
proving. No cases have developed
outside of the original three fami-
lies, but there is another new case in
the Sargent family, making five
children in the family who have had
or have the fever. The quarantine
on the family of Rev. Clarence
Emery has been raised, and the ban
on children attending the moving
pictures has also been removed by
the health officer
The carcass of large COW moose
was found in the Trenton woods
last week. The moose had been
shot, and left as it fell, the throat
being cut but the animal not dressed
out. Tracks of sled in the snow
indicated that later an attempt had
been made to take out the carcass.
but the danger of handling contra
band meat, or perhaps the weight
of the animal, prevented. The sled
had turned and gone out again.
Chief Game Warden Macomber is
Investigating the case.
Another important sale of bust
ness real estate in Ellsworth has
been practically closed. Harry S.
Jones has purchased of John j.
Whitney the Morrison-Joy Co. prop
erty on State street, including the
large storehouses in the rear. The
buildings will be occupied by the
Farmers Union Grain & Supply Co.
under lease for term of years.
The recent sale of the Clark build
ing on Water street, which was
rented by the Farmers Union as a
grain store, made it necessary for
the company to find other quarters
for this branch of it's business. 1t
is probable that arrangements will
be made for the removal of the
| grain to the Morrison-Joy store
houses soon, but the store business
may not be moved to State street
for some time. The Morrison Joy
| Co. has made no announcement as
yet of it's future plans.
