Ellsworth resident, died June %, at
the State hospital at Bangor. Mr..
Treworgy was a familiar figure for
years around the shipyards in Ellis
worth, working as ship caulker. He
was taken i'll nearly two years ago,
and since that time had been in poor
health. He was seventy-four years
old last month Funeral services
were held at the Unitarian church

The next monthly meeting of the
Ellsworth chamber of commerce
promises to be the best yet This
will be an outdoor meeting, weather
permitting, with "Sherm." Douglas,
the first nonresident member to en-
roll in the chamber, as host at his
famous shore resort at Lamoine
Beach. The date is Thursday, July
lis, and ladies of members are in
cluded. There will probably be
sports and recreation in the after
noon, a clam-bake or dinner in the
evening, followed by dancing at
Shore Acres If desired. And there
will be some good speakers. Major
General Mark L. Hersey of Portland,
vice-chairman and executive director
of the State of Maine Associates, and
Hiram W. Kicker, of the State OF
Maine Publicity Bureau, have
promised to be present.
The long rest of the fire depart
ment, which has been practically
unbroken for a month, came to an
end Monday morning, when two
alarms were rung in within half an
hour. The first was for fire In a
barn at the Falls, owned by Fred e.
Smith and occupied by Merle
Googins. 1t started in hay on the
barn floor. 1t is believed that small
children, playing about the barn,
started the fire. The fire was ex-
tinguished before the building
caught. Fred Emith' connection with
the first blaze started the report that |
his camp at Sunset Park was In
flames. This report found its way to
the firehouse, and the truck raced to
the famous summer camp at the foot
of Green Lake. Arriving at the
scene, the firemen were amazed to
find the great log cabin intact, and
Mr.. Smith calmly working on the

was the only casualty.
This is a bird story, not a fish |
story, so it can be swallowed whole. |
Ronald B. Sleeper, matchmaker at
Harvard c. Jordan's jewelry store,
with Mr.. Jordan and others, was !
fishing in Graham lake, from the fill |
on the Waltham road. The fish |
were not biting, and Mr.. Sleeper, |
who is an expert caster, was demon |
strating bait casting with an arti-
fetal minnow After one cast, an |
immense owl, probably either barred |
or great-horned, swooped down |
toward the bait. The fishermen then |
did not know the owl had struck at |
the artificial bait, but believed it had |
seen fish near it. Mr.. Sleeper |
made another long cast, and the owl |
struck again, this time reaching it's
quarry, the artificial minnow. Mr..
Sleeper struck at the same time, and
hooked the owl. The fight was on,
but it was short. The owl, finding it
was caught, turned and swooped
toward the group of fishermen. They
struck, too-for cover. The owl
kept on, spun off all the line on the
reel, and still kept on-carrying
with it fifty feet of line and the
artificial minnow. If, some day, you
see an owl sitting on dead stub in
Graham lake, fishing for its sup
per in the conventional way with
lure and line, you will know where
it learned the trick and where it got
