Who Shall Have Saba.tus .?

The committee ON towns was enter
tanned, Wednesday afternoon, by tcsti-
mony regarding the proposed setting of
Of the village of Sabattus into the town
of Webster. As now located, the village
is in three different towns. Hon. Seth M.
Carter appeared for the bill and Represen-
tatiyc Noble of Lewiston, conducted the
cross examination Of tho petitioners wit
nesses. Among the witnesses called was
DR.. Sleeper of Sabattus. He has not signed
the petition Is one of the largest tax
payers In the village. He thought there
could be no doubt that the village should
be In one town. He had favored putting
the village in Lewiston, but had despaired
Of that and now thought the best plan
under the conditions would be to put the
village into the town of Webster The
discrimination of the witnesses was
partly on the line that the country people
in Webster would not favor the change.
The hearing was continued until late.
