port road to the Orland line. An ex-
pensive but excellent piece of work
has been done this summer in blast

Ellsworth was excited last evening
by the report of hold-up on High
street. Mrs Basil Robbins was on
her way to the store after supper,
when she was accosted by man
who asked for money. She gave him
rs cents, which was all she had in
her pocket, but under her arm she
carried a handbag containing $40.
After she had given him the 25 cents,
she hurried on, and thinking the man
had seen the handbag and was again
after her, she evaded him by running
into a house. The man disappeared.
He made no threats and displayed no
gun.
