He Took Away His Child.

Yesterday Mrs. stowell. who is living with
her mother on Green street, made complaint at
the police station that she had intended going
to Lewiston today, taking her child, about 20
months of age, with her. She said her husband
hadn't done anything towards their support for
some time. and that he expressed no objection
to her going away. Yesterday afternoon her
husband, however, came to the house and
took the child away, and she wanted it.
Deputy Marshal McCallum sent an officer to
Stowel, who said that he found his wife was
going away. that he did not approve OF her
going for good reasons. and if she did go, he
was not willing the child should be taken by
her. He consulted a lawyer and was told he
had perfect right to the child. The child was
taken to his sisters on Paris street. Stoweli
said he had been out of health and unable to
work for little time. The officer found the
child, as stated, at the sisters house and evil
IDENTIFY well-treated, so he did not interfere.

over the receivership of the Fort Payne Furn-
ace Company has finally resulted in COM
pIete triumph for thecompany. This is one of
the industries established in Fort Payne, large
Iy by Maine Company. At one time Wendell
r. Rice was president. He was superseded;
and after that the Fort Payne Coal and Iron
Company petitioned for a receiver. basing their
petition on an alleged debt owed by the Furn-
ace Company to the Coal and Iron Company on
account of ore furnished. Mr.. Martin Van Blu
rem Chase of Augusta, Me-, was appointed re-
eeiyer. The matter was heard twice before the
Chauncery Court and once before the State SUI
preme Court which in August gave a verdict
for the Furnace Company and dismissed the re-
eeiver. In October an amended bill was filed
and Mr.. Chase was reappointed. The Furnace
Company appealed from this decision, and after
three days hearing in November, the receiv-
err was again discharged. Mr.. r. w. Gordon of
Boston, president of the Furnace Company, who
has conducted the case for the company, has
Just returned from the South and expects to

1t is not thought that the hurt is dangerous and
last evening he was quite comfortable.
