ALBERT S. HIGGINS

All Thorndike is regretting the death
of one of its most prominent citizens,
Albert S. Higgins, who died in Thorn
dixie, Sunday, Dec. IL, after a short ILL
ness. Mr.. Higgins, who had held vari-
Gus offices including that of first select
man for years had a wide reputation for
honesty and was famed for his hospitali-
ty.
MIR. Higgins was born in Thornike 81
years ago but moved to Bangor with his
parents when young child and spent his
childhood in Bangor. The family moved
back to Thorndike while Mr.. Higgins
was in his youth and he devoted the re-
mainder of his life to farming.
No one who came into contact in a
business or personal relationship with
Mr.. Higgins failed to develop a strong
liking for the man. He placed integrity
above all else and for this reason was en-
trusted with the greatest honor of his
town, that of first selectman. He held
this office for years and had previously
performed other political services for the
community.
Visitors in Thorndike who were fortu
nate enough to be his guests have a
warm spot in their hearts and a fond
memory of him. At all times he strived
to make his home welcome to all comers
and achieved local fame for his hospital
ity. Few people in Thorndike or vicini-
ty were more generous than Mr.. Higgins
who was ever ready to help his neighbors
in times of need.
Sympathy of a host of friends is being
expressed to the surviving relatives He
leaves his wife, Mrs. Alice NJ Higgins of
Thorndike; three sons, William and Bar
ney of Billings, Mont, George P. Higgins
OF Bangor, president of the A. W. JOY
Co.; one daughter, Mrs. Flora G. Hunt,
superintendent of the Plummer Memorial
Hospital in De ter; five grandchildren
Mrs. Harry Farnham and Albert L.
Higgins of Bangor and three who live
In Billings, Mont; and two great grand
children, Lorain and Barbara Farnham of
Bangor.

He enjoys wrestling match, not as
an onlooker, but as participant, and
was engaging in such bout with his
son when his injury took place. Judge
Matchett, when he starts anything,
mixes matters pretty generally. And
wrestling match is no exception with
him. But 1t appears that in the ex-
ercise his sons foot came in accidental
but swift contact with the judges
leg just above the kneecap, and he
has been at home since.
So the superstitious politicians
among the lawyers Of the Chicago bar
are wondering whether they really
want to be candidates for places on
the bench at the judicial election next
June.

Four hunters were killed in mistake for

two died from exhaustion and exposure
and one was lost in the woods.

Windsor, July n.-Barna, a brown roare, by Bingara out of Kaldah by l<remlin, died at the Sage Park track yesterday afternoon from the effects of it's race in the sweltering heat of last Friday. The trotter was one of Rod ney's stable and started in the 2:1S class. It finished seventh in the first heat and was distanced in the second, though it trotted all the way and never once made a break.
 It was noticed at the time that the mare seemed weak from the heat that was nearly equal to that of July 1, when Billy Leese refused to start Fife Direct and Ed McGrath drew Jackson Grattan in the 2:11 pace because of the temperature.
