HAD THE BLIND sTAGGERs
And Almost Injured Two Wheelmen

Messrs. Walter Triokey and Harry
Bigelow had an amusing and somewhat
dangerous experience with horse yester-
day. They were at the corner of Con-
gress and Exchange streets. Mr.. Bige-
low was sitting on his bicycle, and had
his arm around Mr.. Trickey's neck. The
latter was standing and leaning on his
own bicycle. Suddenly a horse came
rapidly around the corner from Congress
street, driven by Daniel W. Bonner, Jr.
just as he approached the young men
the horse was seized with the blind stag
gers and began to renr and prance, COM
ing nearer them every instant.
Mr.. Trickey seized his bicycle in his
arms. and ran down the street.
Mr.. Bigelow, thus suddenly left nnsup-
ported on his bicycle fell over almost I'M
der the prancing horse, but managed to
just drag his bicycle out of the reuch OF
his hoofs. But he fell down, his legs be-
coming entaDgled in the wheels, just as
the frantic horse fell down close beside
him. 1t was rather narrow escape.

FOUGHT OVER BOARD BILL.
A Big Woman Accused a Little Woman of
Much Violence Toward Her,

In the municipal court yesterday morn
Ing, Mrs. Lizzie Smith charged Mrs.
Jennie E West with assault the evening
before. There was a red bruise under her
right eye. she Is a stout, middle aged
woman and wsuld weigh about twice al
N UGH as the thin sickly looking woman
whom she charged with assaulting her.
She testified that she boarded with Mrs.
West and worked at rockingham
laundry. She came home the night be-
fore and paid 50 on her board account.
Mrs. West became angry and threatened
to turn her out OF doors and refused to
give up her clothes, and struck her a
hard blow under the eye, after having
knocked her down. Mrs. Vests husband
took part in the assault and was as bad as
his wife.
Mrs. West testified that Mrs. Smith
wished to board with her because she
had been stopping with colored family
and they didn't treat her well. She took
her in and at the end of three weeks she
paid her only $3.50, the second pay
ment Of So being at the end of six weeks.
Witness told Mrs. Smith that she could
not board her for six weeks for IS. so and
II she didn't pay her the balance due of
SO then, she would forbid her the house
and refuse to let her have her things. At
this Mrs. Smith called her vile names
and seized her by the throat Witness
pushed her away, but did not strike her.
Mrs. Smith had black eye and bloody
nose when she entered the house. She
had been drinking and is drinking
woman. She has three names.
Mr.. West oorroborated his wife's testi-
mony. He was in the kitchen till he
heard his wife tell Mrs. SIN it'll to take
her hands from her throat. Then he
came in and put stop to it. He used
no violence whatever.
Marshal Triokey said that when Mrs.
Smith made her complaint at the station
there was fresh blood upon her apron and
a red bruise under her eye.
Judge Robinson decided that in view
of no oorroborative testimony as to the
assault he should not sustain the charge.
The defendant was discharged.

Padding Among the Trees.

Messrs. Ebsn Winthrop Freem an and
Frank Haskell, OF this CITY. enjoyed
rather unique canoe trip the other day.
They started to paddle up the Songo riv-
err from Sebago Lake to Long Pond.
They found great many logs in the riv-
er, but luckily the water was SO unusu-
ally high that they could leave the river
and make their way through the sur
rounding swamps. For over five or six
miles they thus glided among the trees,
entering many places where no boat ever
foated before. Il is very rare that the
river is high enough to admit of such a
trip.

grow into indigestion, heartburn, dlzzi,
