BIG STREET DANCE
THIS EVENING
Citizens Band viii Furnish Music for
both Concert and Dance
Program Tonight

The band concert and street dance
given by the Merchants Association
ON August 14th was so generously
patronized and so universally en-
joyed that another was Immediately
decided upon. Various events al
ready scheduled and especially the
plans and the final carrying out of
the Skowhegan Fair made it impossi-
BILE to assign an earlier date, so the
grand event is to occur this (Thurs-
day. evening. The Citizens Band, as
before, will furnish music both for
the concert and dance. Dancing will
commence at eight o'clock. Tickets
(35 cents) have been sold during the
week by committee of Skowhegan
young ladies. Those who have not
already obtained them can do so from
the committee of arrangements at the
time the dancing begins.
The original plan contemplated a
corn roast, or the serving of hot boil
ed sweet corn. The elements have
been so decidedly adverse however,
that this part of the program has had
to be Abandoned. Since the killing
frost of last week it has been found
impossible to obtain corn in sufficient
quantities.
Special thought and care has been
devoted to arrangements for handling
the crowd so that ample space will
be reserved for dancing and those
who do not wish to dance so disposed
of as to have the best opportunity for
listening to the concert and watching
the merry makers.

Decision Given on Death OF North
AnSOn Man

The public utilities commission has
handed down the following decision
regarding the Androscoggin Electric
Company. accident at New Gloucester
on July % at about 10 a. m. which
resulted in the death of Harold NJ.
Fish, aged 81 of North Anson.
1t appears that Mr.. Fish, who was
a contractor for a section of the State
Highway at New Gloucester, was
driving along what is known as the
Rangeley road from the gravel pit
near where the crew was at work on
the State road Bushes and trees
along the Rangeway road obstructed
the view of the motOrman on the An
droscoggin Electric Company car, and
that of Mr. Fish, so that he was not
aware that the car was coming until
within about thirty feet of the cross
ing. When the motorman saw the
auto approaching he Immediately
threw on the emergency brake and
blew the whistle, the car did not stop
until nearly 146 feet beyond the cross
ing, striking the automobile and
dragging it along the track for this
distance. Mr.. Fish was thrown from
the car and received injuries from
which he died some time later.
