Maine Ice Harvest and New Bangor Rink Plan
About 15,000 tons of ice have been taken from the Saco and Biddeford rivers this season. A stock company will build a $15,000 rink in Bangor to serve fairs balls public meetings and roller skating. The body of Frank Ducette of Brooksville has been found frozen in the ice at Brewer Village. Two were drowned October 19 last by a boat overturning. Madame Benoit of Lisbon confesses she killed her infant child. This makes it likely two women will be hanged in Maine for murder before long. Dr Gratton accused of stealing a watch from Wilbur Goddard of East Boston, a guest at the doctor’s rooms in Biddeford recently. Cumberland county reports criminal prosecutions cost the state $6,693 and fines and costs $22,329. Kennebec county reports criminal prosecutions cost $0,241 and fines and costs $7,761.
