resided.
The deceased attended the public
schools in Portland, Thomaston and Bel

poor health, which had handicapped him
during his whole school life, he was ad-
vised by his physicians that it would not
be safe for him to complete the course
He then became associated in business
with his father, and, being endowed with
unusual mechanical genius, his success
as demonstrator and salesman of auto
mobiles and tractors proved that he pos
sessed remarkable ability in that line of
work.

vices were held at the family home on
Saturday, Nov. 25, Rev. W. F. Skerrye

of his many personal friends.
The interment was in the family lot in
Grove Cemetery. The pail bearers were
Edward Grant, James Kelley, W. c. Tay-
lor, Henry Mudgett, Leon Whitten and
Samuel Hart, all being employed in the

The Journals New Home.

After occupying for forty-nine years
the second story of the brick block at 65
Church street, The Journal has moved to
the Jellison block, No. 90 High street,
with Office entrance on stairs next to the
City Building.
1t is useless to attempt to describe the
moving of press, folder, cases, type and
countless small articles used in a print
ing office, to say nothing of the furniture,
accumulation of books, files, ETC., of an
editorial room; only those who have lad
a like experience could understand. 1t
has been done and all Immediately con-
cerned in the work wish to express cor.
dial thanks for special courtesies to Jesse
E. Staples in charge of the trucking,
Austin j. Jewett, the machinist, AMI A.
C. Hopkins, the power and lighting
changes. Many others very kindly as
sisted in various ways.
The Journals new home is very wei |
adapted for printing plant. The press
is on cement base on the ground floor
with folder nearby. The composing
room could not be better if built es-
pecially for the purpose. There are
windows galore and the room is well
ventilated, lighted and steam heated. 1t
faces the City Building, thus allowing
the benefits of the lawn, etc.
The editorial room is in the front with
three large windows facing High street,
two windows and an entrance from out
side stairs facing the city property.
While moved The Journal is far from
settled, but many minor things can wait
In the meantime its patrons and friends
will find cordial welcome at 90 High

An Appalling Homicide and Suicide.

AS a result of family troubles, Frank
w. Davis shot his wife and himself at
their tenement over the Durant Garage in
the Lancaster block on Main street early
Thursday morning. Over a year ago he
had told some of his friends that if his
wife persisted to receive the attentions
of certain friend he would kill her. His
friends say that recently he had dwelt on
the trouble so constantly that the jealous
ly had unbalanced his mind. No one knew
when they retired that evening, what
happened or when the double tragedy oc-
CURED, but both bodies were warm when
discovered. Their two children Theodore
w. aged 10 years, and Marian, aged IA
years, had been at dance in Red Mems
Hall and returning home shortly after IL
o'clock found their parents. The night
police Elmer S. Whitehead and William
Bartlett were in the vicinity and answer
ed the chidren's call for assistance. They
thought Mrs. Davis was breathing when
they entered the room and they think she
was shot in her sleep, as the bedding was
undisturbed about her. She was lying on
her right side with bullet wound in the
left temple and apparently died instantly.
He was in his night clothes and had fallen
face down on the floor severely bruising
his nose. DR.. Orris s. Vickery. the
Waldo County Medical Examiner, was
called and pronouced it clear case of
homicide and suicide. Both bodies
were taken at once to the Cook UNDER
taking parlors on Main street. MIR. Davis
was born in Brewer about 43 years ago,
the son of Samuel w. and Ardell (Clifford)
Davis, the latter Belfast girl. He came
to Belfast when a young man and has
since resided here. For number of years
he has been Knights of Pythias. AS
result of fall beneath a car in the Bel
fast r. r. depot he lost one of his legs and
had since used an artificial one. Besides
his two children, one sister, and two
brothers survive, Florence A. Davis of
Boston, now in Florida, Charles Davis of
Boston and S. Walter Davis of Bangoi.
The latter arrived here Thursdayafternoon
and made funeral arrangements, etc. He
also offered his brothers children a home
with him, if they cared to 60 to Bangor.
Theodore Davis is very Industrious,
we'll meaning boy and has worked for
some time in the City Bakery. His sister,
Miss Marian, is a Grammar school pupil.
Mrs. Davis was born in Frankfort about
forty years ago, the daughter OF John and
(Rose FogO Kenney. Besides the two
children mentioned she is survived by
daughter of former marriage, Mrs. Cald-
we'll of Benton, who with a cousin, Mrs.
Fred Webster of Frankfort, came to Bel
fast when receiving the news. One sister,
Mrs Maude Clark of Lynn, Mass, also
survives The funeral was held at the
Cook undertaking parlors Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock with Rev. Charles w.
Martin Of the Methodist church officiat-
ing. The remains were placed in the re-
ceivlng tomb and later will be inferred in
Grove Cemetery. The bearers were AL
bert and " .iter Hail.

A shooting accident, which occurred a
few days since in the Maine woods, il
correctly reported, had several unusual
features First, it was not the sportsman
who shot the guide, but the guide who
shot the sportsman Second, it was not
a case of thought-it-was-a deer but the
guide was actually shooting at deer and
it was mere chance the sportsman was in
the line of the bullet. And third, the
shot was not instantly fatal, but the
wounded man is expected to recover.

MONDAY, JULY 81, 1922.

One of the readers of the Press
and Banner thinks that we have pro-
flied more by getting into the Caro-
lima League than by anything we
have done in a long time. The chief
argument which he adduces to prove
his assertion is that baseball has cur
ed the boil weevil blues.
We are not sure but that our
friend is right. At any rate the Alb
beville Team has been a source of
pleasure and satisfaction to every
lover of good manly sport here. The
games played here have afforded
everybody a chance to get out OF the
rut and to add a little ginger to the
system. The players on the team
are a fine set of young fellows. 1t is
no small thing for a city like Alb,
beville to be represented by such q
goodly number of gentlemen.

MOSQUITO BITE CAUSES
DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL

Blood poisoning, brought on thru
infection from a mosquito bite, is
believed to have caused the death Of
Strom, the three year old
of Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
Strom of Callison. The little girl died
Thursday morning about II o'clock
at the home of her parents at CALI
son. The funeral was conducted
there today by Rev. E. P. Driggers.
The child was bitten on the nose
by a mosquito, it is thought, about
ten days ago. The bite became in
fected and the child grew steadily
worse. For several days prior to her
death, the little girl had been uncon-
scious.-IndexJournal.

of Abbeville and Laurens and even
Greenwood and Anderson cannot
support a hired team. We can only
maintain a team when it is selected
as the teams this year r selected.
1t may be necessary to make some
additional rules about securing
pitchers in case these other cities
come in, because it will be impossi-
BILE for the smaller towns and coun-
ties to furnish as many good pitchers
as Spartanburg and Greenville will
be able to furnish. With the eXcep-
ton of pitchers, however, every
player should come from the county

DIR, DAVIS BUYS LOT

DR.. Thomas L. Davis is evidently
getting ready to invite the faculty
of the Greenville Street Setback
College to visit him in Augusta. We
say so for the reason that The Au-
gusta Chronicle of yesterday brings
the news that he has purchased a
lot and is soon to build a modern
residence. The lot purchased fronts
100 feet on Mcdowell Avenue and
has a depth of 800 feet. 1t is in the
most exclusive section of the Hill,
which is our reason for believing
that the Doctor is expecting visitors
from Greenville Street.
DR.. Davis located in Augusta be-
fore the World War. At the begin
ming of the war he entered the SER
vice as a surgeon and was in the
service until about two years ago,
when we was discharged. He went
Immediately afterwards to New
York where he did special work, and
upon completing his course he went
to Augusta again. He is very popu-
lar there and is building up quite a
reputation there as a specialist in
eye, ear, nose and throat diseases.
He operates at the Hospital here
frequently, and always with marked
success.

As sportsmen there are some
things we should learn. One is that
the exhibition, of temper over the
decisions of the umpire is not sports
manlike. We do not object to the
fans registering kicks on decisions
such as were made here last week.
But it can always be done without
charging on the field and threaten
ing bloodshed. The umpire does not
always see the thing right and not
all umpires are good ones, but that
is no reason why we should resort
to tactics which do US 10 credit and
which but tend to lessen the dignity
of good sport.
