261H DIVISION RE.
UNION IN BOSTON
Local Men to Attend
Carnival Next Week
". A. Scott, Late of First sth Hamp-
shire Battalion Addresses Post

At the regular monthly meeting of
Simon Peters Post, No 16, American
Legion, held in the club rooms last
Monday evening, announcement was
made of the big 26th Division Reun on
to be held in Boston, July 2, 3 and 4th.
General Clarence r. Edwards comes
back to his old station In command
of First Corps Headquarters at BOs-
ton, July 1st, just in time to welcome
his old Yankee Division at their first
big reunion. Plan are being made for
10000 veterans. Many of the Skowhe-
gan boys are making plans to attend.
A committee was appointed to ar
range for joint "get-together" meet
ng with the newly formed Women's
Auxiliary at some early date. The
following are on the committee. Vice
Commander Rice, Adiutant Woodbury.,
Finance officer Lessard c. Earl Pat
ten and Harry Dysart
Word was received by the Post
Commander that the Celebrated
Bockus Carnival was obliged to post
pone its visit to Skowhegan one week
owing to difficulty in securing suit
dDic Odu u IL iC
quires ten cars to transport the Com
pany and IT'S outfit, and the Maine
Central could not handle them when
they had to move. This company has
been playing for posts Of the Ameri-
can Legion all over New England and
giving great satisfaction. Last week
then performed at Bath and this week
they are at Biddeford. This will be
the nearest that Skowhegan will come
to having a circus IN town. The Car
nival will open Monday night at Fair
view Park and will continue through
out the week. Sheriff Fred Stevens
of Androscoggn County writes that it
is the cleanest and cleverest show that
has played in Lewiston within his
memory. Regret was expressed that
the Carnival could not have been put
on this week as advertised, but it is
believed that the postponing it one
week will not snjure its prospects.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting. the post listened to a most
interesting talk by one of its members,
William A. Scott, late Of the First Sth
Hampshire Battalion, Egyptian Expe-
dictionary Force, on his exper ences in
the British Campaign against the
Turks in Egypt and the Holy Land. 1t
was an entirely fresh and new phase
of the war to the members. Particu
larly interesting was Mr.. Scott's first
hand description Of the celebrated
campaign in the Dardanelles and at
Gallipolli where so many thousands of
England's finest soldiers were sacri-
feed. Mr. Scott with thorough un-
derstanding took his listeners through
the various old biblical cities of the
Holy Land. culminat 'ng finally in Cen
eral Allenby's splendid victory over
the Turks in Palestine, which crushed
them completely 1t was fascinating
to hear the familiar names of places
n the Bible referred to as a part of
the campaign in the World War.

one was written and under what cir
cumstances and that his only motive
was to cause alarm, denying that he
set the fires already mentioned. He
was Immediately placed under arrest
and asked to be allowel to go into a
small building which had escaped
from the fire, and which contained
some of the clothing and bedding,
which had been saved, to change his
clothing He ascended to small
loft overhead and within a few sec
onds shot rang out and the Sheriff
after going quickly in the loft found
McClintick dying with 3S calibre
revolver grasped tightly in his right
hand. Blood was flowing freely from
MS temple and quick examination
showed that he had placed the muzzle
or the weapon against the right tenn
pie, the bullet passing completely thru
the head. A large safety pin was
in McClintick's mouth and protruding
from 1t, while the front of his shirt
was partially opened. 1t Is believed
by the officers that McClintick had
the weapon concealed inside his shirt
at the time of arrest and had evil
IDENTIFY intended to use 1t either for
defense or to accomplish the purpose
as heretofore stated The gun was
purchased at neighboring hardware
store short time before and the
magazine was fully loaded. A care
full survey of the premises according
to the officers, showed that things of
value usually contained in out build
ings had previously been removed
far from the house and barn showing
conclusively, as the officers believe,
that the fire was contemplated.
Frank A. Adams and McClintick
purchased the small farm where the
fire and tragedy occurred about one
years ago, paying in about $100 each
and in March last placed an insurance
on these building for $500 which it
is believed were worth much less
