Friends in Ellsworth were panied
to hear of the accidental death on
October 20, of Michael Mullen, for
merly of Ellsworth. Mr.. Mullen was
engaged in painting on the steam
ship ]. l.. Luckenbach in a shipyard
at East Boston, when he fell forty
five feet into the hold of the ship.
He died on the way to the relief
hospital. Mr.. Mullen was son OF
the late Michael Mullen, and his
early years were spent in Ellsworth.
He was about sixty years of age, and
unmarried. He leaves one brother
and five sisters-Thomas F. and
Mrs. Celia Doherty of Melrose, Mass,
Mrs. Della Gilrain of Maiden, Mrs.
Abbie Willett Of Dorchester, Mrs:
Margaret Mckinney of Roxbury and
Miss Katherine Mullen of Ellsworth.
Burial was at Melrose.
Rufus H. Young, the veteran fur
buyer of South Hancock, who has
to produce records to prove he is
over ninety-twO years of age before
anyone will believe him, was in ELS
worth Thursday. Just think of 1t!
Mr. Young bought his hrst SKINS
seventy-seven years ago! He was flf-
teen years old then, and he has peen
buving furs ever since. He has
bought furs from four generations
in some families - great-grand-
rather, SrdHuldlHel, lalh0i GNU
That is something else tc think
about And Mr.. Young is still go
ing strong. Mr.. Young's advice
has been sought by many legislative
committees when trapping or fish
ing laws were before them, but he
is little peeved at the last legls-
lature for passing a law advancing
the time for trapping fur-bearing
animals from November l to Octo-
Der is. He says it is not only de-
pleting the game, but is actually
loss to trappers, for fox or mink
caught in the middle of October
would be worth about twice as much
by the middle of November. Under
the new law" Mr.. Young says, the
trappers are burning the candle
at both ends''-killing off all the
game and lessening their profits.
