Sheriff Pike and Prosecuting Liquor
Agent Wakeman searched the road house
kept by James F. Ward and the M. J..
Hayes place, Saturday evening, but no
Illicit liquor was found.
Judging from the low prices which we
see advertised in the store of B. Belts,
we are fully convinced that he believes
in the old adage, ga nimble six pence is
better than slow shilling" He has
made grand reduction in prices of all
staple goods and many fancy articles. O.,
Many telephone wires were blown
down in town, Sunday. There was q
tangle of fallen wires for several hours
at the. corner at E. w. S. Pickett's and
Blacksmith McGarry's.
Selectman Edward Hawkins, admins
traitor on the estate of Michael Shannon,
has made application to the court of pro-
bate for permission to sell all the real es-
tate.
1t is understood that, at next Mondays
meeting of the board of selectmen, for
NAL demand will be made that the Sc
lectmen take decisive action toward col
lecting the deficit in the Moloney town
accounts from the bondsmen, it being
stated that the insurance of $1,000 on
Moloney's life was not an attachable
part of his estate. The insurance money
now forms the chief support of Miss Ka-
tie Moloney and her invalid father. The
bonds have recently been examined and
found correct and this formal demand is
the first step toward collection. Should
the selectmen abide by the vote of the
special town meeting of a few weeks ago
and decline to demand payment from the
bondsmen, writs of mandamus will prob
ably be obtained and the matter brought
into the Superior court. Should that de-
eide that the action of the special town
meeting was legal, the selectmen will
not call the bonds; but, if illegal, they
have no alternative. The bondsmen,
however, may contest the matter in the
courts, if called upon to pay.
After long disagreement, the town
has decided to pay the interest on the
district debt of Holland Hill school dis
trict during the period of consolidation
of schools. The debt is $500 and the
interest for the two years of consolida-
ton amounts to $50. This the town
has recently paid.
