A petition for the pardon OF George
w. Lowell of SOmerville, Mass, for
merlv of Ellsworth, who is serving
year@in the States prison for assault
and battery, was filed at the depart
ment of state Tuesday. Lowell was
convicted at the last April term of the
supreme court for Hancock county,
Lowell pleaded guilty to the lndlct-
ment. The petitioner states that he
believes that if certain evidence had
been presented the sentence would
have been less, that he has a wife and
child dependent upon him for sup
port, that the health of his wife is
not of the best, and that he believes
that the sentence under all the cir
cumstances. was excessive. hear

The annual midsummer fair Of

day at Hancock hall. There are at
tractive booths for the sale of fancy

iee-cream. A cafeteria lunch will be
served during the afternoon and I'M
til p. m. This lunch proved a very
popular feature of last years falr,
many dropping in for the evening
lunch instead of going home. The
afternoon program includes an enter

ming there viii be exhibition dancing
by pupils of Miss Odiorne's school
which will include a dance by three
little girls, cake walk by two

The Ellsworth firemen were called
out Sunday afternoon for a fire that
started in rubbish under the carriage
runway to the second floor of the
Davis carriage shop on Franklin
street A lively blaze was under way
when the fire was discovered, and
had communicated with the side of
the building, getting under the clap
boards. The fire is attributed to a
carelessly thrown cigarette butt or
possibly to greasy rags or waste. Had
it occurred in the night, with the dry
condition of the nest of frame build
ings disastrous fire would have re
suited. Monday afternoon the fire
men were again called out for a fire
in the rear of the "Old Jail House
on Pleasant street, owned by Patrick
Bresnahan. This fire was started in
grass by children playing with
matches and communicated with the
barn. 1t was eXtingushed before

cases of this sort of petty vandalism

been instructed to keep his eye open
for it. The new bridge received its
first hard crack Saturday morning,
when the driver of touring car

The car mounted the twelve-inch
curb and crashed against the con-
crete rail. One of the upright sec

Inside Information on

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 5. Gen.
John j. Pershing's military record
nd his fidelity TO orders from Wash
ington while in command of the
Mexican punitive expedition, were
the outstanding factors resulting in
his selection as Commander of the
American Expedition Forces in
France.
This is disclosed in a letter from
former Secretary of War Newton d.

Weekly will print Saturday
The letter says Pershing was ap-
pointed by President Wilson on
Bakers recommendation. Baker s
letter shows the appointment was
based on his past record, neither
