A MUSCULAR LEGISLATOR.
M. M. Loud Arrested for an Assault at
North Hanson.

Mr.. M. M. Loud, who formerly practiced
law in Portland, and subsequently removed to
North Abingdon, Mass, from which town he
was elected member of the present General
Court, seems to be gaining unenviable notorie-
ty. Mr.. Isaac Chamberlain of North Hanson,
says that about o'clock last Sunday after
noon while Mrs. Chamberlain and daughter
were in the barn three men drove into the
yard and stated that they wanted him. He
went to the door in answer to the summons,
when perceiving Mr., M. M. Loud, representa-
tive from North Abingdon, with whom he had
had some trouble, he ordered him out the yard
and went himself to the rear of the house.
Loud, accompanied by two men, G. c. Pool
and Henry Reed, followed him, and
sprang upon him with the words ''I come
here to kill you, and will" Chamberlain's
son came to his fathers assistance, but was
held by Pool while Loud and Reed punished
Chamberlain. 1t seems that for about year
Mr.. Loud has correspondent with one of Cham
berlain's daughters and has been to ride with
her, passing under the name of Harry D.
Reed of North Arlington. Last Thursday Mr..
Chamberlain, learning that Mr.. Loud was sail
ing under false colors, met him at South Alb
ington depot and told him to let his daughter
alone and never enter his house again. The
three assailants have been arrested and given
bonds to appear before Judge Keith Saturday.
Mr.. Chamberlain is considerably bruised about
the face and it is feared is injured internally
Mr.. Loud admits that last Thursday afternoon
he was conversing with Miss Chamberlain at
the depot when he was accosted by a man,
who, with an oath, demanded: "What are
you doing with my daughter?" The girl inn
mediately said, 'That is my father" Mr..
Loud then remarked to Mr.. Chamberlain: eff
you have any business with me, sir, please
step aside; this is a public place. "Oh, you
want to fight do you?" exclaimed Mr.. Cham
beckoned to some dozen or fifteen workmen
who had come to the depot to see the fun. Mr..
Chamberlain continued to use vile epithets,
but with the coming of the sos train the dis
graceful scene ended. Mr. Loud admits the
assault on the girls father, but says that be-
fore blow was struck he told Mr.. Chamber
lain that he wished to come to an understand
ing in the matter, and that he hoped to arrange
it without further trouble. Chamberlain be-
exhausted his vocabulary of oaths, attempted
to re-enter the house. Mr.. Loud interrupted
him and said: "No. demand an explanation
of your abuse of me before the public at South
Abingdon Thursday night" Mr. Chamber
lain attempted again to get by, and made a
pass at Mr. Loud with his right hand. Mr..
Loud parted dexterously and quickly. struck
out with his right and left hands, telling
Chamberlain to the ground and giving him
lain up, Loud says he and Poole started for the
carriage, but were again accosted by Chamber
lain, who had procured a revolver, and threat.
ened to "bore them through.

William Sweat, M. D.

41OLLio, MdrCu ~, 1oOU.
Dr.HWilliam Sweat, who was borne to his
last resting place today, was the second son of
Jonathan Sweat and Sarah (Ayer) Sweat of
Parsonsfeld, and was born at Portland, Oc-
tober 16, 1884, When William was about six
years old his father removed his family from
Portland to Parsonsfeld where he continued to
carry on the business of cabinet maker in con-
nection with small farm.
Jonathan Sweat was a. descendant of the
French Huguenots or Protestants, and was
native of Bedford, Mass, where some of the
family name still reside. It is related that he
was an eye witness of the massacre of the
citizens of Boston by the British troops in
ITO, and he drew and painted sketch of the
scene which is still preserved by his grandson,
DIR. Moses E. Sweat of Parsonsfeld. The
children-two sons and four daughters-were
ambitious of getting better education than
the limited means of their father afforded
them, and each of them succeeded in obtaining
an academical education at the old Limerick
Academy and paid their expenses by their
own exertions.
William learned the trade Of cabinet
maker of his father but followed the
business but short time when he found
himself compelled by physical dis
ability to abandon it, and turned his at
tention to teaching school and studying medi-
cine. He commenced his studies with his older
brother Moses and pursued them further with
the celebrated DR.. Alexander Ramsay of
Fryeburg, and at the medical department of
Dartmouth College, graduating in 1918. He
settled at Salmon Falls village in Hollis in
1920, and entered upon an extensive field of
practice in that then active business section.
He was acknowledged to be skillful physi-
clan and an adroit surgeon, and for more than
fifty years was the willing and trusted servant
OF all classes in this and the neighboring towns.
His uniform gentleness gained him many
warm and lasting friends, and his visits to the
sick room brought a feeling of relief to the
suffering patient, for he made his visits agree
able by evidences of that tenderness and SYM
pathy which nature like his could not con-
ceal. In the prime of his life he was public

ports that he was assaulted by highwaymen in

the city with load of potatoes, and started for
home between and 10 o'clock. On Lincoln
street near Broad street bridge, four men came
out into the road and seized his two horses by
their bits. One of them said, "Let's go
through him." Two of them armed them
selves with pieces of board and assaulted him.
Mr.. Gordon drew large jacknife from his
pocS let, and stuck the blade into the body of
