A LOVE SUIT.
Samuel Davis Sued for Three Thousand
Dollars.

Last Monday, writ with ad damnum
| at $4,000 was served on Samuel Davis,
of the firm of Davis Brothers, and Mr..
John Mullen was put as keeper in the
store, 1854 Fore street, and B. G. Miles at
the store 800 Fore street. Tuesday Null
len left the store, and when he returned
he found the doors locked. AS the
stock in the store No. 800 Fore street
was sufficient to satisfy the writ the
keeper was not reinstated at No. 354.
The key to store No. 800 was withheld
from B, G. Miles, who has remained in
the shop since Monday morning.
Yesterday the 10th Maine was holding
its reunion, and Mr.. ]. E. Murch was
sent from the sheriff's Office to relieve
Nh. Miles. Mr.. Murch took chair and
sat in the doorway. As soon as Murch
closed the door, Davis sprang and turned
the lock. Murch telephoned the station,
and Deputy Chute responded at once,
broke open the door and entered.
Davis, who had been advised that if
the keeper stepped outside the store it
could be closed, was much surprised
when he saw the door forcibly opened,
and was still more surprised when Depu-
ty Chute showed him to the sidewalk
and ordered him to remain there. The
keeper was there to allow Mr.. Davis to
conduct his business, but that is now in
terrupted. Mr.. Miles took $3.50, the
sales, and gave Davis receipt therefor.
Store room at $25 month was secured
on Union street, an inventory of the
stock taken by Deputies Plummer. Chute
and Sterling, and the goods packed
away. The sight of the large express
wagon filed with goods, passing through
Middle street yesterday morning, at
tracted great attention.
1t seems that love affair was at the
bottom of the writ. Miss Lizzie Seder-
sky, formerly of Portland, now at Bos-
ton, complains of Davis, alleging a
breach of promise of marriage. The
writ is returnable at the September term
Of court.
Before the goods were all stored in
the storehouse, Attorney Verrill, on be-
half of Mr.. Joseph a. Wolf, who has an
account with Davis. running since March
"a, 1892, gave notice that his client
would press his claim, and that it was
the wish of Mr.. Wolf to have'the stock
sold at auction, as more would be real
lied by sale now than after the goods
have rested in the storehouse.

Maine Apples.

One of the great packing industries of
Maine is that of canning apples for do
mestic use and export Today the car
load price is about So dozen, gallon
cans, which does not cover the cost after
carrying through the winter. Two years
ago the goods were selling at about the
same price when late in August came a
rebound to $3.50 a dozen. These goods
are principally sold to summer hotels
and boarding houses, but this year there
is but little demand from these sources,
for the summer visitor is phenomenally
scarce. But little, if any, adva nee is in
Dictated this season, for the canned fruit
market is confronted by the coming crop
of peaches which bids fair to be more
than abundant.

A BOLD SNEAK THIEF.
He snatches Pocketbook from Lady's
Carriage.

The other day, Mrs. John Marshall
Brown and Miss Mollie Brown drove
down Forest street to visit their dress
maker, Miss Smith, who lives on the
street. As they left the carriage to en-
ter the house, Mrs. Brown placed her
pocketbook under the cushion of the
carriage. This act was seen by a man
who came along swiftly, thrust his hand
under the cushion and made off with the
pocketbook. He was followed, but ran
SO swiftly in the direction of the Union
Station that he couldn't be captured. In
the carriage was satchel containing di-
amond ear rings, pearl jewelry, etc.,

First National Bank against Carter.


The supreme court of this state last
Saturday filed an opinion in the case of
the First National Bank of Aberdeen
against H. H. Carter. The judgment Of
the lower court in favor of Carter was re-
versed and the case sent back. In this
suit the bank sought to recover certain
personal property of Carter which had
been seized by the latter as sheriff under
attachment issued against D. E. Dunbar.
The bank had loaned Dunbar money,
with the understanding that he would
give the bank security when called upon.
The banks right in the action was based
upon a chattel mortgage in its favor,
which was executed but not recorded at
the time, the sheriff made the levy.
When the sheriff made the levy he was
informed that the property was in pos
session of the bank. The supreme court
held that the notice to the sheriff was
sufficient information. w. o. McKinlay
was the banks attorney.
