MADISON YOUNG PEOPLE
IN ACCIDENT
Leon Steward Well known in SkaW.
hegan Taken to Hospital

Leon Steward of Madison is at the
Elm City hospital in WaterVille in a
serious condition as the result of an
accident yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock zeal Mountain View farm on
Main street, Waterville, when the au-
tomobile in which he was riding turn
ed over. He was attended by DR..
P. S. Merrill who stated that the
young mans back was injured. He
also feared that there were internal
injuries, but said that the extent of
these injuries could not be known for
a day or so.
The car In which Steward was driy-
ing is understood to have been the
property of II. c. Prince of Madison
and was driven by his daughter, Miss
Helen Prince. others in the ear
were Anne Tinkham, Edward Allen,
William Dixon and Meade Baldwin.
Steward and two young ladies were
riding in the front seat.
Miss Prince, it appears, turned out
to pass another ear and thought she
went too far to the right Of the road.
When she turned in, the car shot to
the left, turned over in the ditch and
came back in the road again.
1t was thought that the front
wheels caught in a rut as she turned
back into the road. one of the front
wheels breaking, and that this threw
the car over. All of the occupants
except Steward were thrown clear of
the machine, but he was pinned un-
derneath. None of the others were
injured except minor bruises and
scratches aid they succeeded in lift
ing the car so that Steward could be
released and he was taken to a hos
pital Immediately. His parents were
notified and came to the city last
evening. -.

An added interest to our trip was

TURNED DOWN EUsTIS.CANADIAN
HIGHWAY
Commissioners Appointed on Court
Reverse Decision OF Franklin
County Commissioners

Pennington, Sept. 15.-6SpeeiaD.-
No road will be built from the Eustis
to the Canadian line. The commits
sioners appointed by the court last
February to hear the appeal against
the decision of the Franklin County
commissioners in laying such a road
has just ben filed with the court here.
The decision says that the findings of
the county commissioners should be
reversed in all particulars.
The commissioners to hear the ap-
peal were Joseph F. Gould of Ban
gor, Alfred F. Ames of Machias and
A. H. Shaw of Bath. The first two
signed the report reversing the county
commissioners decision. Mr. Shaw
differs.
The commission in their report say
that they do find that common con-
yenience and necessity to do require
the location of a way as prayed for
by such petitioners and as located by
the county commissioners.
It is understood that under this de-
cision it will be impossible for these
steps to be taken towards again lay
ing out this road for a period of five
years.
