From the Biddeford-Saco Journal: “Gardiner Area High School romped to a 26-0 blanking of Kennebunk High School here Saturday afternoon. It was the third straight defeat of the season for the Rams, who are still looking for their initial score of the year.

From the Biddeford Daily Journal: “A burgler was discovered at his work, in the Bradbury drug store in Saco, early Sunday morning, by Deputy Marshal Grant and came within an ace of being captured. By a very fortunate combination of circumstance for the burglar he got away and then only by the desperate expedient of smashing a hole through a heavy plate glass panel in the front door and plunging through.”
