ely Rod" Presents Old
Fly Rod to State Museum

Oily Rod" Miss Cornelia Crosby of
Oquossoc, on her visit Thursday to
Augusta brought to the State
ervation with the other relies and
curios. 1t was presented % her in
1895 by Charles s. Randall Of New
Bedford. Mass. an. eX-congressman,
who bought it'in 1S45 in London and
presented it to nephew then a stu
dent in Harvard. The nephew later
died and the rod returned to the
donor who used 1t fer many years.
He presented it to Miss Crosby for
reasons given in letter. as follows:
"My old English, (Alfred 1914 fly
rod in which you have taken such an
interest, has done me good service in
Quimby pond, but on account of its
age I should feel a want Of conf
dence in it where there larger fish.
and shall never MAKE a cast with it
again.
ut may interest some sportsmen to
contrast the perfect work of our
American rod makers OF '96 with that
of the best English maker of more
than half century ago and 1t
will crafty me to know that my old
companion and friend has found a
resting place among your curios."
The rod is a five jointed one. paint
ed black and brass bound. The
wood. Curator James thinks. is green
heart. The case also contains bamn
boo brass-found, which holds seven
extra tips. The case itself is of the
old fashioned brown canvas. much
worn and patched with pieces of kid
glove. The name Of the maker-Al-
fred 1S44-and the owners name are
engraved on the butt ferrule. \ little
pocket in the case also holds a
spearhcad. three and half inches
long. which screws ;rto the end of
the butt.
1t, no doubt. in its day was as fine
az could he found. as Alfred was the
best workman of his day-but it GER
tainly has an odd appearance to any
one who is acquainted with the
American rods of today. 1t will be
given a prominent place In the
museum.

Public Utilities Findings in
Death Donald Gibbs, Waterville

The Public Utilities Commission
has issued the following findings in
the case of Donald Gibbs of Water
vile, who was fatally injured on Oct.
9. 1921, by coming in contact with a
live wire:
Donald Gibbs Of Waterville, aged
9 years, on the afternoon of Oct. 8.
1921. came in contact with live wire
which was hanging from pole near
the corner of Ticonic and Edwards
streets in the city of Waterville near
the Hose House lot and received in
juries from which he died on Dec 16,
1921. The wire which caused the
accident was a part of the. auxiliary
fire alarm system of the City of Wa
terville. but this particular wire had
not been in use for, long period Of
time.
AN inspection made after the ac-
cident showed that the wire had been
broken in three places. once about
midway between the pole on the cast
side of Ticonic street and the first
pole on Edwards street and twice be-
tween the first and second poles on
Edwards street, and that the wire
was in a badly rusted condition and
was not suitable for any service.
That portion Of the fire alarm wire
remaining attached to the first pole
on Edwards street was in contact
with the 2100-volt electric wire. and
the end was hanging down and rest
ing on the ground inside the fence
and near some hurdocH bushes in the
hose yard. About o'clock in the
/ afternoon OF Oct. 8. 1921. the day
previous to the accident, a report was
received at the local (Waterville)
Office Of the Central Maine Power
Co. that one of the wires of the
company was down on Edwards
street near the corner of Ticonic
street. J.inemen We're sent to this
place and found the telephone wires
broken and lying in the highway.
! These wires We're picked up and the
wires Of the power company were in
spected and found to be all right and
no trouble was found at that time
with the electric service at any of
the houses in the neighbOrhood. The
man who made this inspection failed
! to notice the broken FIRE alarm wire
which afterward caused the accident.
Notice of the accident was report
ed to the local Office Of the power
company about $50 r. nj. on Oct. 9
and the investigation then made dis
closed the broken Iire alarm wire as
above described. We call the atten-
ton of the Central Maine. Power Co.
and the municipal officers of the city
Of Waterville to this situation and
we recommend that the defective wire
which caused this accident he re-
moved from the poles so that future
accidents of this nature may be
avoided"
