SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Bonney
heard the civil case of Lyman, Son &
Guptil against w. ID. Cover without a
jury. 1t is an action to recover So, 1920
on an account for top bills furnished a
vessel built by the defendant in Calais in
the fall of 1889. The defendant admits the
items in the account and the prices
charged. But he claims that the plain
tiffs agreed to take five-sixty-fourths of
the vessel in consideration that they
should be allowed to furnish the top
bills; that they have been enrolled as the
owners of five-sixty-fourths and have
been sent checks for dividends, which
they have received and collected.
The plaintiffs admit there was talk
about their taking piece of the vessel,
but claim that they told defendant that
they could not take over one-thirty-sec-
ond, which the defendant declined to ac-
cept; that when the order subsequently
came they supposed it was in the gem
eral course of business without reference
to the talk; that the two checks for divi-
dends were applied to credit of the ac-
count, and the defendant notified at once
that they were not owners in the vessel,
never purchased or agreed to purchase.
Decision reserved.

A meeting of the Veteran Firemen's
Association was held last evening at the

eide upon any location. 1t was voted to
join the New England Firemen's League,
and President Fox and j. w. Plaisted
were appointed to represent this organi-
cation as delegates to the league. The
meeting then adjourned for two weeks.

or COUNTRY DOCTORS.
How Dexter Physician Visited Grip Pa
tients in the Woods.
dexter Gazette.1

One day last week a Dexter doctor re-
ceived telegram summoning him to
Greenville. In half an hour he was
aboard train and at 8 o'clock in the
evening stepped upon the platform at
Greenyille Junction. One of four
brawny young men stepped up to him
and asked, us this DR.. B. of Dexter?'
'tThe same"
swell, we have orders to take you to
East Outlet on handcar."
The distance is 10 miles, the night was
cold and dark, and the doctor was
obliged to sit cramped up in the front OF
the car. To add to the general discom-
fort the men announced cheerfully that
they were expecting to meet a Canadian
Pacific train at almost any Tune ana
warned the doctor to keep q sharp look
out At every curve they stopped the
car and listened for any sounds that
might signal the expected train. How
ever, they reached East Outlet safely
before midnight At that place was
waiting a nervy looking lumberman, re-
splendent in red shirt and carrying two
pairs of skates.
''Can you skate, Doc?' he inquired.
The latter with some inward misgivings,
announced his Willingness to try, and the
pair started on an eight mile journey up
the lake. They dragged their belongings
on moose sled and had the yellow
beams of an old tin lantern to guide
them. Every once in while the woods
man would order a halt, advance alone,
and with a muffied exclamation about
lone Ell them DANCED Wrinkles" would
jab his pickpole into big hole in the
ice. A wrinkle in an ice field, by the
way, is long chasm caused by the ice
being fixed up. A person who steps up
on wrinkle goes down and never
comes back.
The lake was but partly frozen any,
way, and its surface was thickly dotted
with holes, wrinkles and thin spots.
Dozens of long detours were made.
Sometimes the pair were obliged to
tramp for rods over masses of broken
ice, every cake on edge. The mass would
crack, groan and sigh in most disquiet-
ing manner. Then, too, the doctor was
not particularly treasured by little
piece of news that the guide reported.
He said that only two days before two
young men had been drowned at about
that place, in broad daylight, too.
When the doctor helped pull the heavy
moosesled on shore atLamb's farm near
ly opposite Kineo, he felt - well mag
inc!
He found nine members of the Laml
family Frustrated with grip and pulmon
airy troubles. Next day he started ON 8
six mile tramp through the woods tc
Misery Stream, and at this suggestively
named place found II men out of Ter
rill's crew of 40 in lamentable condi
ton. The influenza was raging in the
camp and the men were well nigh de
moralized.

What a Boston and Maine Man Says

A Boston and Maine official says: "All
those newspaper stories about the Con-
cord roads intentions are written for a
purpose The fact is that, with the ex-
ception of the Manchester and Lawrence
suit pending in the courts, which is really
outside the Boston and Maine response
bility, the relations of the Concord and
Boston and Maine are perfectly harmo-
NOUS. We handle their business just as
smoothly as the business of the New

A New Light.
To the Editor Of the Press:

4 " tftc EuttOf W Uo 4 TSoo.
Some one asked me the other day
where the best place would be for a new
light as an aid to Portland harbor. The
best place for new light would be on
the outer part OF. Spring Point ledge, and
would be of great service to vessels COM
ing in or going out of the harbor in the
night time. A light house could be built
for much less expense on the other side
of the channel, on the lower part of House
Island, but Spring Point would be much
the best place for the light. If the Port
land breakwater had been built from Fort
Preble to the outer part of Spring Point
ledge, it would be great protection to
the harbor, but it is very little protection
where it is now. The ledge runs nearly
halfway across the channel. and if the
brealwater had been built upon it it
would have been of great benefit in keep
ing the harbor smooth. Stand at the
Grand Trunk wharves and look down the
harbor and you will see the Importance
of what / have written.
