Letters Tell of
Fatal Accident
To Monmouth Man

Letters to Monmouth relatives, fol-
lowing a telegram received December
announcing a fatal accident to E.
Augustus Clough of Escalon, Cal,
give details of the occurrence. Mr..
Clough, formerly of this town, was the
owner of a ranch in Escalon and was
engaged in his usual work on the day
of his death. His wife was absent
for the day attending to duties con-
nected with their church society.
When she returned home she found her
husband dead. He had taken his shot
gun from its closet on the porch. pre-
sumably to shoot hawk, and whether
the trigger caught on the decreasing
or on n coat hanging in the closet Is
uncertain, but the charge was released.
entering his left breast and causing
instant deah.
Mr.. Clough was born in Monmouth
April %, 1868, the elder son of George
NJ and Lizzie (Goding) Clough. He
was a graduate of Monmouth Academy
and a member of the Congregational
church here. In 1887 he went to Illi-
nois, later removing to California,
where he had since resided He was a
veteran of the Spanish War.
Mr.. Clough was twice married. His
first wife died seven years ago and he
married Mrs. Martha Edwards. Be
sides his wife he leaves a sister, Miss
M. Elizabeth Clough, and brother
Richard G. Clough, both of Monmouth.
A sister, Miss Grace Clough, died a
few months ago.
The California friends of Mr.. Clough
speak in highest terms of his worth.
He was honored for those fine quail
ties of integrity and sincere living
which mark the noble man. The fu-
neral was held on Monday. the 9Th, and
innumerabIe tributes of flowers spoke
mutely of the sympathy and esteem
of neighbors and friends, and he is af-
fectionately remembered by the Maine
friends of his youth.

stated that they had an enjoyable
evening, and his only regret was that
he did not have three extra dollars to
invest in banquet tickets. He spoke
of the generous gift of DR.. and Mrs
Averill. To allow the boys to use
the field in the fall DIR. Averill had
loaned $4,000 so that the property
might be used without mortgage OH
1t. And it was decided that later in
the year that drive would be held
to pay for this athletic field.
Through the kindness of DR.. and
Mrs. Averill the city is to be given
a clear title to the property, so that
now the money raised by the drive
may be used for improvements of
the field. Waterville High will have
one of the finest athletic fields in the
State OF Maine or in New England.
Mr.. Mathews spoke of the number
of our girls who are employed in the
stores during the Christmas vacation
and of how courteous and polite they
always are. This Is the true spirit
of service and loyalty to our fellow
citizens.
