PORTLAND LADY INJURED A largq number of motorcycles loaded with men and women came down from Portland lasf Sunday and after spending the day here returned to the city in the evening. While out near Warren one of the motor cycles broke a chain, a piece flying up and striking a lady with such force as to inflict a painful wound on the knee. While she was still lying beside the road an automobile happened along, in which was a Doctor, who immediately dresseii the injured knee and the lady was taken to Houlton where she took the train for home. We did not learn the name of the injured lady.
