Carelessly Thrown
Match Sets Fire
To Small Barn

A burning match, carelessly drop
ped on the floor of the small barn
on Cool street owned by Clifford c.
Crowley, set fire to the building
about o'clock last evening and it
was burned to the ground. Mr..
Crowley said that he had just lighted
a cigarette and he felt sure that
the blaze was caused by the match
he had thrown away. Nothing was
in the barn but little hay and the
loss Is not more than 5000 with a
small insurance.
In talking to Police Chief Frank
lin D. Gaskell and group of
standersby the man told volubly how
he had been drinking for some time
past and much of the blame for the
barns burning he laid to this fact.
Frank Ellis, who lives near the
building which burnt. telephoned
the Central Fire station and the two
trucks responded to the call. But
the blaze was so far from a hydrant
and was so nearly burnt down by
the time of the arrival of the
trucks that no hose was laid. The
wind was blowing from the barn
across the Messalonskee river and,
although few dwellings were
threatened by sparks, there was no
great danger. Men were left to
watch the ruins until 1t was felt that
all danger was past. Shortly after
the fire had started the blazes caused
a large flare in the sky and many
people turned out to see the fire,

Chautauaua Continues

Monday afternoon was primarily
for the children at the Chautauqua
tent. A prelude was furnished by
four lady musicians playing the vio-
lin, piano, flute and cello respective
ly. Following this came Rosani, the
juggler, who gave an amazing ex-
hibition of skill in balancing and
handling large numbers of small OBJ
jects. In the evening, after another
prelude as in the afternoon, some
thing new was seen on the platform.
This was a debate by two Americans
and two Englishmen on the question,
Resolved, that America should stay
cut of the League of Nations, the
Americans upholding the affirmative
and the Englishmen the negative.
Twenty minutes was allotted to each
speaker after which there was ten
minutes of open forum at which
time anybody could ask questions of
either team. Liberal advantage was
taken of this open forum, the Eng
Esh speaking being kept answering
questions continually. A five min
ute rebuttal followed for each side.
The Englishmen seemed to have the
best of the argument although an
swering their opponents propositions
ebly and presenting their own argu-
ments with force. The vote how
ever, was close, the audience award
ing the decision to the Englishmen
by the score of 135 to 131.
