1879. State vs.. John Shaw.
This is an Indictment for keeping liquor
nuisance at his dwelling house on Willow
street in Augusta. The police officers testi-
efd to finding the sides of the cistern in the
cellar wet with intoxicating liquors, the
waters inside in commotion, and that they
fished out of the cistern two iron porcelain
lined kettles lashed together; that a ring at
tached to the floor directly over the mouth of
the cistern by a rope was swinging. The
government also introduced a copy of
the records of the internal revenue
collector, showing that John Shaw took out a
liquor license for the time covered by the
indictment. The defendant states that the
kettles were kept in the cistern to be used in
cleaning ir out; that he watered his horses
out of it and had just taken water from it
when the officers came; that this caused the
commotion in the cistern and the moisture on
the outer sides that whatever liquor he kept
was to be used on his horses and that he did
not keep liquor for illegal sale. The jury
took the case at quarter before four o'clock.
At six o'clock the court adjourned with
orders to give the jury until twelve o'clock

A Brutal Assault at the state Fair.

At the close of the second heat in the first
race at Lewiston, on Saturday says the Fort
land Argus, a dispute arose between Charles
Records, the driver of Tom Patchen, and
Jimmie Brown, whereupOn Jim Percel. the
rubber Of Knox Boy, stepped up and dealt
Records brutal blow with pair OF steel
knucklss, which felled him to the ground,
and followed up the blow by kick in the
face, which inflicted CHASTITY wound on the
right cheek and closing up the eye. AT once
the most intense excitement prevailed Inc
police hustled Percel off into a stable. but
large mob surrounded the building threaten
ing lynching. Hot words were freely used ara
blows ensued among the worst of the crowd:
score Of officers tried to keep the crowd
back in vain. and were obliged to draw their
fevolvers. Finally City Marshal Smith
promised to take the prisoner of 10 the po-
nee station handcuffed and the mob was
suodued for moment, only to break out IN
sworse degree when Percel appeared pro-
.ected by dozen policemen. Desperate at
Nmpts were made by the enraged crowd 10
capture the fellow, but the officers finally
succeeded in getting him out of their reach.
several other knock downs occurred. but
"Inout serious results.
We never witnessed so much excitement
many being fairly crazed with indignation.
ane dastardly assault certainly deserves the
severest condemnation. 1t is believed it was
uone to prevent Records winning the race,
1he probably would have done if able to
ur've. What makes this view of the case
~ the more apparent is the fact that within
ven minutes after reaching the station Percel
s released on bail, furnished by certain par

We have been shown a winding collapsal

Messrs. Connolly and Orr of Hallowell.
Those who have seen it pronounce it most
valuable invention, from the fact that it is
very simple in its movements, and can be
used on looms of all kinds. 1t is the first
roller ever invented so made as to open and
contract, which admits of the easy removal
of the goods, and this is the strong point in
its favor, as it does away with the objection

Orr has been at the Mechanic Exhibition in

inventors have not yet decided whether to
manufacture the rollers themselves, or to dis
pose of it in some other way.
