Animals Killed by Automobiles.

If the number of persons killed
and manned yearly by automobiles
is staggering, the number of animals
either killed or injured is even more
appalling. There are no correct sta
tistics as to the animals, yet from OBJ
servation it is easy to see that
thousands of poor animals thus are
killed or are made to suffer because
OF the carelessness or senseless speed
of motorists. Dogs, cats, chickens,
geese, ducks, turkeys and even goats,
sheep, COWS and horses bear the
brunt of the insane practises of auto
mobile drivers.
Sometimes the motorist makes a
deliberate attempt to run over an
animal or fowl that happens to be in
the road, but it is comforting to note
that many motorists blow the horn
when they see their route INSTRUCTED.
Usually when a car strikes smaller
animal, the animal is killed outright
and thus put out of misery. Often,
however, the creature is left lying
beside the road, to die slowly or to
suffer untold misery.-R. S. West,
in Our Dumb Animals.

AFTER SHERIFF. WESCOTT.
Governor Baxter Asks Him to Resign
Hearing Nov. 10.

Governor Baxter, in a letter re-
Gently to Sheriff Ward w. Wescott of
Hancock county, asked for the
sheriff's resignation. Sheriff Wes-
colt refused to resign, and said that
if the governor had any charges to
make against him, he was prepared
to face them.
At meeting of the governor and
council yesterday, an order was
passed summoning Sheriff Wescott
to appear before the governor and
council at a hearing on Friday, Nov
16, to face charges of failure to en-
force the prohibitory law in Hancock
county
The proceedings are brought under
the constitutional amendment adopt
ed by the voters in 1917, giving the
governor and council the right to re-
move delinquent sheritfS.

The contributions to the city clock
fund fell down badly the past week,
only $40 being received. This won't
do We need at least $500 more.
We do not want to put in cheap
clock; we want a good one while we
are about it, if we have to wait sew
eral years to get it, Unless the sub
scriptions come in more freely, the
fund so far contributed will be de-
posted in savings bank and al
lowed to accumulate until sufficient
years, but we are not going to drag
this matter along through the paper
for months longer. If the people of
Ellsworth want the clock quickly,
they must come across"
Our friends from out of town are
reason why those here in town, who
would get the benefit of the clock,
should do their part.
We do not like to suggest that
those who hav already contributed
the 81 asked be asked now to con-
tribute more, but a few have ex-
ceeded that donation, and more lib
eral voluntary subscriptions would
be Welcomed The subscriptions are
not limited to 81, but that is all any
one will be asked to give.

DAM CASES COLLAPSE.
Power Company's Offer of Settlement
Accented.

ROVER company oltf Oh settlement
Accepted.
Under the direct pressure of d
food of testimony introduced by
plaintiffs witnesses, and under
mined by the "backlash" from testi-
mony of some of its own witnesses,
the defense in the dam cases col
lapsed Sunday, sending a food of
dollars down along the water front
in Ellsworth, not sufficient to com
pensate in full for damage done by
the breaking of the Brimmer's
Bridge dam last May, but largely.
The collapse came with hardly less
warning than marked the collapse of
the dam on the evening of May 2
last, but to those who had followed
the cases closely, was not uneXpect-
ed. After a conference of the officials
of the Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co. and its attorneys Sunday,
an offer of settlement to include all
the twenty-one cases in which suit
had been brought, was made by the
power company. The settlement in
cludes all claimants for damages
from the breaking of the dam except
Whitcomb, Haynes & Whitney and
the c. j. Treworgy Corporation,
these cases involving different issues.
The exact terms of the settlement
were not made public, but are pro-
nounced as satisfactory to both sides.
Some weeks ago the claimants each
named a figure as the lowest at
which they would accept settlement,
but this was not accepted by the
power company. In the settlement
finally accepted, each of the claim
ants shades his figures somewhat,
but the saving in expense of litiga-
ton, and the delay which would in
evitably result by taking the cases
to the law court, weighed IN FAVOR OF
the immediate settlement
The trial of the case of the Diriso
Theatre Co. against the power COM
pany opened last Wednesday, and
occupied the remainder of the week.
The plaintiffs case was in, and the
defense was partially in when court
suspended Saturday afternoon.
The plaintiff introduced evidence
tending to prove its allegation in the
writ that the construction of the
Brimmer's Bridge dam was insuf-
fcient and faulty. Men who worked
on the dam told of the nature of its
construction, that it did not so down
to ledge or hardpan, that the mix
ture of cement and gravel was not
uniform. that more or less loan was
mixed with the gravel, and snow and
ice were allowed to remain in the
gravel embankment, Engineers
testified as experts that in their
opinion the aprons of the dam were
not properly constructed to prevent
backwash or "backlash" below the
dam. The defense introduced evil
dence to prove its contention that the
freshet was unprecedented, and an
act of God for which the defendant
company could not be held liable.
The trial of the Ellsworth Foundry
e Machine Works case against the
same company was to have followed
hat of the Dirigo Theatre Co, land
a special panel of sixteen jurymen
appeared in court Monday morning,
only to be excused from further at
tendance. The settlement of the
cases will shorten the term OF court
at least a week.

SUMMER SCHOOL.
Is. L. Session ut Ellsworth May be
Cut Out or Cut Down.

Due to the fact that the number of
students enrolled under the Vet
Grams Bureau is steadily decreasing
and that the summer session at Ellis
worth was conducted largely for the
benefit of these students, it is quite
unlikely that the college authorities
at c. B. A. will consider having a
summer session there again. Last
year the expense of conducting two
sessions, one in Ellsworth and
another here in Boston, was so heavy
shat the summer session was run
with deficit.
Although il is practically certain
that there will be no separate sum
mer sessions,it is understood that the
college authorities are considering a
plan for the conducting of the sum
mer session in two divisions; that is.
six of the twelve weeks will be CON
Quoted In Boston, and the other six
MAY be held in Ellsworth, one
faculty staff doing duty at both
branches of the session.
Dean Everett w Lord has received
an invitation from Mr.. Peck. head of
the East Maine Conference seminary
at Bucksport, about nineteen miles
from Ellsworth, to conduct the next
summer session there, but it is

Interesting Relic Unearthed.

Some interesting relics have been
found in eXcaVating for the new con
crete bridge across Union river at
Main street Among the most in
teresting. is a four-inch shrapnel
shell. uneXploded. 1t was found tif-
teen feet beneath the surface of the
road. How did it come there, and
how long had it been there? Did it
come through paths of peace,
brought home by some soldier of the
Civil war as a relic, or was it fired
for business purposes during a little
raid made by the British upon ELS
worth in 1914? There is opportuni-
ty for interesting speculation here,
at all events.
And who can tell us something of
that British raid in 1914? In a brief
historical sketch of Ellsworth print
ed in a directory issued by Lawton,
Loring & Johnson in 1908, the brief
statement is made that lin the fall
of 1914. when the British so sudden
ly swooped down upon and attacked
and pillaged this section of Maine,
almost all of Ellsworth's fighting
men were absent from the town aid
ing their fellow countrymen in their
struggles on Penobscot bay. The
town was left inadeQuately defend
ed, and suffered much from the dep
relation of the British"
The question has been raised as
to whether shrapnel was used in 1871
but as shrapnel was invented by and
named for a British general who was
born in 1761, it is fair to assume
that it was used in the war of 1872.
Other relics found at the bridge
site are coins perhaps hundred of
them, mostly the large copper cents.
These were all found at nearly the
same spot, indicating that someone
had at some time lost bag of these
coins, or that some forgotten freshet
of long ago had swept away some
ones money till into the river.

Guidc Killed in Hancock County

a guide, aged seventy years was
shot and killed last Wednesday
morning, while guiding a party OF
hunters in township 8. Hancock
county. The hunters had separated
a shot was heard, and some time
afterward one of the party came
upon the body of the guide. The
Fatal shot ii is believed, was fired by
one of the guides party,
Sheriff Wescott, after an lnVesti-
cation, decided the shooting was ac-
cidental No arrest was made, put
action will probably be taken later.

We publish this week an article by
Lieut.. Z. E. Brady, U. S. NJ, an ELS
worth boy, on the value of the U. 5.
navy and merchant marine in peace
as well as in war. During his years
of training in the naval academy, and
his service since, Lieut. Brady has
had opportunity to observe at first
hand the influence of sea power on
the destiny of countries. He writes
from this experience. and his article
is we'll worthy of careful and
thoughtful reading. 1t is particu-
