X. w. Morse has sold out his lease Of
the Red Lion Inn to Mr.. Battles as stated
in the st. Adams Messenger, and the latter
takes possession Oct. LIST. We make this
announcement with genuine regret as
Mr.. Morse has proved himself in every
way 10 be a model hotel man and we re-
greet TO have him leave. We understand
that he is 10 90 on the road as salesman.
Mr.. Battles is well spoken of and We be-
speak him a cordial welcome to our beau
tiful village.
We take the following from the Argus
and il the facts are as stated the language
is none too strong, but We do not vouch
for the statements as we have not investi-
gated the affair:
Rumors OF a disgraceful affair that oc
Cured on Mill ST. last "Wednesday evening
reached the "Watcher's" ears as he step
ped from the train last Monday, and in
vestigation among those who were eye
witnesses tothe affair elected the facts
that Mrs. Frank p. Morse, quiet and es-
Unable lady, left her home last Wednes-
day evening to attend a weekday meet
ing. Instead, she called on a neighbor
who was i'll, and returned home in about
an hour from the time.she left. Her hus-
band was enraged because she had lett
home without his "permission,n and saw
agely attacked her, beating her and throw
ing her out OF doors, where the poor wom-
an tainted. NeighDors were summoned
and Mrs. Morse was carried inside, her
husband refusing TO assist in caring for
her. No legal proceedings have been in
stituted against MIR. Morse, for the reason,
il is said, that his v if is afraid to COM
plain OF him for fear Of her life, and Grand
Juror Henry 5. Newton viii not take steps
in the matter unless she does, although
three OF her neighbors have entered COM
plant and urged him TO do so. Morse is
an employee ut the Tewksbury mill, and is
not drinking man. He is possessed Of
an unreasonable and ungovernable tenn
per, and uses his delicate wife as a safety
valve. In conversation with several en-
ployes OF the mill last Monday thew Watch
err was assured that while his fellow-em-
ployes bad no fault to find with Morse in
the shop, such proceedings in his family
must forever cease or they would demon
strate that they knew a punishment for
wife heaters, even if the officials of the
law would take no notice of the matter
A more indignant crowd of neighbors, fel-
, low-workmen and citizens the reporter
has rarely seen, and Morse may as well
realize that such things win no longer be
tolerated in West andolph.-Argus.
