century, who are wise, will take time by
the forelock and provide themselves at
once with course tickets, thus insurlng
favorable locations and comfortable Seats
Those who wait until close on to the time

five concerts insuring the pleasure OF

The Reform School people are looking
for Llewellyn Newbert, a 15-year-old boy,
who up to Wednesday last was technically
an inmate of the school. He is alleged to
have run away taking 500 in money and
checks.
The boy s-.descriptionfhas been.sent out
He is described as of light complexion,
brown hair, blue eyes and round face,
with plump red checks. He is small for
his age.
A reward of $40 is offered for his
capture. While Newbert is reform
school boy he has not been there for some
time. He was let out on trial to Hon. S.
J. Gushee of Appleton, and it was from
him that he took the money.
Newbert has bad record. Originally
he was an inmate of the Boston Home for
Little Wanderers. He was let out of there
twice on probation before he came to
Maine. Once he went to New Hampshire
and there he set buildings on fire. Since
then he has set fire to buildings in two
other places
The boy is believed to have gone to
Boston and the police there have been
specially notified to look ou5 for him.

How An Election as Fence Viewer Might
Land Man in Jail-Another Round
Fought.
Mr.. L. B. Chapman and the Deerlng
city authorities continue to maintain
those interesting complications which
have for so long excited interest in the
fair suburban city. 1t will be remembered
that sometime last winter the city fathers
of Deering elected Mr.. Chapman fence
viewer. This office, while not obsolete,
ranks with that of tithing man and
hog reeve in the popular estimation. Mr..
Chapman had never aspired to be fence
viewer and it is not probable that any of
his friends had urged him for the posit-
ion. So it was not wholly unnatural
that he should pay no attention to the
election. He did not go through the for
malities required to qualify for such an
office.
Now there is a law of the state, known
to few, yet lying like a sword in the
scabbard, as Cicero would say, which re-
quires q man elected to municipal office
like that of fence viewer, to qualify in
due season. under pain of IS fine. When
Mr.. Chapman failed SO to do complaint
was duly~made, and Mr.. Chapman was
brought before the Deering municipal
court. Here he did not conduct himself
according to the forms of law, but on the
contrary expressed himself disdainfully
and impatiently, demanding an appeal
to higher court even before making his
plea in aslower. So-he declared gently
and the appeal was noted; but in appeal
ing it is necessary to pay certain court
expenses, amounting to So or 81. Mr..
Chapman refused to do this. In fact he
refused to pay cent in connection with
the fence viewer business. He had not
sought or wanted the office and he didn't
see why it should be made a source of
expense to himself.
In this way matters dragged along un-
til Saturday, when in the due and regu-
lar order mittimus was issued from the
Deering municipal court for the arrest
and committal of Mr.. Chapman to jail.
This mittimus was given to City Mar
shall Leander Clark AS the next day
was Sunday Mr.. Clark did not try to
serve 1t. But Monday evening he har-
messed up and drove over to Mr.. Chap
mans, bent on reasoning him into pay
ing the necessary costs to satisfy the
court and the law, which makes fence
viewers and all others bow before it's ma
jesty.
When informed by the city marshal
that it was pay the costs or go to jail,
Mr.. Chapman of course decided that he
would pay the costs.
But there is no doubt that he made the
mental reservation then and there that
he would view his own political fences
often enough to keep from getting elect
ed viewer of other peoples fences.
1t has probably cost Mr.. Chapman as
much as $40, plus much vexation to keep
out Of office.
