A BAD LOT.
arrested In Gorham by Detective r. A.
Davis.

For nearly year past the village of Cor.
nam has been cursed by gang of bad young
men, varying in age from IS to 81 wears. who
have allowed no opportunity to 70 by without
maliciously damaging the property of the
citizens. They have torn down fences. pulled
gates from hinges, broken into the engine
house, damaged the engine, dragged the fire
ladders out of doors, and lately have set FIRE
to bundles of hay in the fields. Saturday
night they burned up quite lot of hav be
longing to Gov. Robe. Last Friday Detec-
tive X. A. Davis of Portland was EMPLOYED
to investigate the matter and see if he could
discover the guilty parties. He succeeded
with bis usual skill, and Monday, with the aid
OF Deputy Sheriff Mcclellan, arrested the fol-
lowing young rascals, carried them to Port
land, and lodged them in the county Jail ::
John Feeney, William Feeney, Michael
Flaherty, Henry Whitney. Frank Floyd. Eu-
gene Floyd, Edward Kane, and one other
whose name we did not get.
These fellows are all under 81 years of
age, and it is more than probable that some
of them will be held on charges more serious
than the offence named above

SIX months after the date Of such certif.
cate, the right relates to the time Of filing
the certificate. But be this rs it may, the
bill in this case shows that actual work
was begun upon plaintiff ditch, coupled
with a notice to the defendant of plaintiff s
claim, prior to any work ON the ditch OF
the defendant.
1t is true that the bill does not show
any actual use of the water by the plain
tiff. 1t does show, however, that the
plaintiff did all that it could do towards
the actual use of the water, on lands pre-
pared to receive it and requiring it for
proper cultivation, and in which we've
growing crops. According to the aver
ments of the bill the plaintiff was only
prevented from actually applying the wa.
ter to a beneficial use by the wrong of the
defendant in diverting all the water so
that it was impossible for the plaintiff to
obtain it for use. | think that the bill
shows a prior and complete right to the
water in the plaintiff as against the de-
PENDANT
The right of the plaintiff IS shown to be
q valuable one, and the interference there
with by the defendant is of such character,
if continued and acquiesced in, as to be
destructive of the right. Hence there is
ground for equitable interference.
The demurrer will be overruled.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE
Which VIII Probably Result IN Ex.
humigg the BODY of a Woman.


A singular case has come to light within
the past two or three days, which is caus-
ing much comment. On Thanks
giving morning Miss Lizzie Jansen. a
Swede girl of IS years of age, died at the
county hospital and was buried the
same evening. Suspicion was aroused in
some quarters that all was not right. and
an investigation disclosed the fact that
she had been taken sick at one of the
hotels where she had been employed as a
laundress. She was sick for sometime
and was finally removed to the hospital
where she died, as already stated. Sub
sequent developments show hat three or
four physicians of the city, who either
saw her before she died or Immediately
afterwards, say hat her death may have
been caused by an abortion, and
one of them is positive that such
is the case. The matter has been brought
to the attention of the authorities and
there is a strong probability that the
body will be disinterred to-day and an in
quest will be held by Coroner Moore in
order to ascertain definitely whether this
was what caused the girls death.
There seems to be nothing in the case
which in any way casts a reflection upon
the people at the hotel where the girl was
taken sick or Mt the county hosnifol Tho

An alarm of FIRE was sounded at about
9 O'Clock last evening, and which called
out the fire department with its usual
promptness and a%lacrity. The alarm was
caused by the breaking out of a fire at
the old electric light house in the extreme
northwestern portion Of the city. The
fire, which was accidental, was quickly ex-
tinguished, and no very considerable
amount of damage was done.

Parties who have lately arrived in the
city from Chadron state that the branch
road to Rapid City and beyond has been
completed to Buffalo Gap, thirty-ive
miles beyond the new town, and trains
are now running to that point. This fact
will have a material influence on business
at Chadrop, but Notwithstanding this fact
the place is still lively and bids fair to be-
come the most important town of that re-
gion
