The announcement of Mr.. A. A. Strout
that he has taken an office with Mr.. Clarence
Hale in Centennial Block, No. SO Exchange
street, is sufficient denial of the current
rumor that he was about to remove his home
and business to Boston. We learn that he
has no such intention, but will continue to
practice his profession in Portland, where
he has been established for so many years.
Stephen O. Danielson, who died ON South

years, was born May 9, 1885, at Goodwin

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY,


MoNDAY-Richard Preston VS.. Joseph NJ. Tol
ford. Action of aSsumpsit to recover $l62.31 adj
vanced to the defendant by the plaintiff Oct. 5,
1885, for the purpose of taking up note for that
sum given by the defendant to the plaintiff which
was coming due in the bank. The defendant ad-
mits that he had the money sued for, but files San
account in set off amounting to S691.91. The
plaintiff is a dealer in woolens and tailors' trim
mings in Boston, and the defendant is merchant
tailor doing business on Free street in this city,
From Dec. 1, 1888, to September 1885, the
plaintiff had lot of woolens stored and displayed
in the defendants store, varying in value from
$1,000 to $500, from which his salesman, G. A.
valpey, sold and delivered to customers in Maine,
the Boston house keeping the stock replensbed.
It is for this use of the store that the defendant
files the account i'll set off. The plaintiff claims
that he was to have the use of defendants store
without expense or cost to him; that the defend
ant agreed to this for the benefit he would derive
in having the goods displayed in the store, there
by rendering it unnecessary for him to carry a
large stock, as he could and did allow his custom
ers to select from Preston's stock and have it
charged TO Tolford. This is denied by Tolford,
who says it was understood that Preston should
pay for the use OF the store.
