Another Injunction Nanled.

When the concrete top-sGhs put on
Silver street. this year. the mayor
caused notices to be placed on one o.
the electric light poles that set in front
of store and to which people had been
in the habit of hitching their horses,
forbidding the further hitching of
horses to-that particular pole. Then
the mayor and the marshal sat in their
office and watched people come to that
pole and hitch. The marshal many
times has gone down to the person so
hitching and has called his attention
to the notices posted on either side of
the pole. The mayor has yelled at
men something like this Hey, there,
can't you see those notices. for the land
sake?' but the people hitched their
horses there just the same and the
street department was constantly re-
pairing that bit of new concrete all
summer. One of the board of alder
men was one of the first to complain
about people hitchinsA their horses to
that pole. We went to the mayor one
day and told him that notices should
be posted there forbidding anybody
horses there. and then the no.
tees went up. You can perhaps imag-
inc how the mayor felt two days after
when he saw that same alderman hitch
his horse to that same pole.

War on Tramps Opens.

The war on tramps has begun and the

30 days in Jail. and the tramps We're ar
raigned as Migrants. Thomas Varney
and William Carter pleaded guilty to the
charge. but James Riley said he was no
tramp and would not plead guilty
Varney and Carter were given the full
penalty of the law 30 days in the Bastile

until afternoon, to wait for the testimony
of the officer who arrested him. The Off

as given by the followers of the regular
tramp fraternity. but the marshal was
impressed with the earnestnesS of the
young fellow and so he determined to
give him avchance to do something for
himself. the marshal took the young
man home. gave him a good breakfasts
and set him at work on mething to do
about the. house. He worked for the
marshal two days and then the mayor
took him for several days more In the
meantime the marshal was looking around
for steady job for the young man and
finally found one with Harry Morse. a
well known farmer Mr.. Morse took the
young man home and set him to work.
The young fellow did rot know anything
about farming but he took hold of the
work that was given him to do and per-
formed 1t to Mr.. Morse's satisfaction
The family have several times been away
from the house all day. leaving the young
Fellow alone in the house and when they
returned. they found him and everything
else there all right. So, 1t would seem
that all men who on the road and COM
monty taken for tramps are not as bad as
their associations would lead people to
think they are. The marshal is satisfied
mat ne has done good job in keeping
the young man out of court, where he
would have got the full 80 days for va

knows how to have those things done

before. But he. as one of the commit
tee. as also the other members of the
committee, felt that they had in their
report placed the whole matter before
the board in perfectly clear light and
had stated what. in their judgment,
was, the right thing to do. They did
not propose to dictate.
The committee thought, and so said.
that they considered the proposition of
Mr.. Brown the very best thing to do.
The board would not accept it, Now
the court has appointed three apprais-
ers, w. s. Choate, Josiah Bassett and
Ira e. Getchell, whose award shall be
final. They will within 10 days make
their award and the people will see
whether the action of the council was
wise or otherwise.

that is too silly to talk about; that is
the printed form. The committee.
Knowing that the street had been built
under the impression that no damages
were to be claimed, and finding that
damages were claimed. felt it their
plain duty to take the course they did.
SO that the council should know the
facts and act with their eyes open.

sheep Killing Dogs Rampant

Mayor Redington has received notice
from Fred Mason and Harry Morse
that dogs have been killing sheep down
their way. Mr. Mason lost sheep by
one dog, this week, and Mr.. Morse has
lost 6. The mayor says he is about
tired Of this dog nuisance and is offer
ing up prayers for some kind of a way
out of paying for all the sheep that the
dogs may kill for the future. The city
has now paid out 500 this year for
sheep that have been killed by dogs,
and the mayor is tired of draw
ing that kind of a warrant. The
license protects the dog and makes the
city pay for what sheep it kills. The
license for one dog is $1.OO, but one can
kill a lot of sheep and the city does no:
begin to get its money back out of the
license

Both Teams Entitled to Praise

1t should be said of both the Bowdoin
and Colby football teams that the game
OF Wednesday was the cleanest cut
game ever played on the Colby campus

so. 1t was skilfull ard honest. Viewed
at this time when the prejudice. that nat

is not claimed by anyone that the visitors
attempted any undetermined work. II
could be seen where several men made
what would be called foul tackles if the
umpire had noticed them but in each in
stance. it was in the heat Of the excite
ment and not that of anger or an inten-
ton to play foul that the men did what
would have cost them something had If

SAID tnat IN every instance of such plays
or acts. CALI them what you will, the men
seemed to act uncOnsciously. 1t is well
known, that men will in the excitement

something that they really do not mean
to do and would not DO if they were not
excited. knowing that it was wrong
Here is an instance. A Bowdon man
started in to tackle a Colby runner and
ne missed what he thought was "a cinch
ne snould nave stopped the man. but he
slipped and in falling. clutched the Colby
man by the throat, but his hold was a
weak one and he lost his tackle. This
was when the Colby man had got nearly
through the llne and the Bowdoin man
knew the Bowdoin team expected him to
stop him. Colby man fell heavily on a
Bowdoin man who had been Gown.d be-
yond the possibility of getting away. II
was unnecessary but the Colby man had
started for that ,Bowdoin fellow and did
not propose to be seft entirely out of the
pile-up. Perhaps it was his momentum
that carried him SO far, but it did not
look necessary. ScanneH complained that
a BoWdoln man deliberately "kneed" AL

long run and there came near being n

MeSSrs. EditorS:--In an article pub
lished yesterday referring to the city
meeting it was stated that after the
mayor had started the Gilman street
matter, ETC., then at the suggestion Of
Alderman Lang the aldermen were
properly called to order, though Mayor
Redington claimed that they had been
in legal session all of the time. He was
convinced that they had not, however,
and the regular form of opening was
gone through. Then the councilmen
went to their room and the business of
the evening was commenced
The mayor will say, for the benefit
of those would-be parliamentarians
that he has been quite frequent at
tendant at city meetings presided over
by different mayors, some Of whom
knew something Of parliamentary
rules; and also is egotistical enough to
think that he can open a meeting of the
aldermen so that the business can be
legally done. In this case, before the
members of the common council were
invited in, the mayor called the board
to order, and also stated explicitly
thinking that some stickler for rules
might caviD that the board of alder
men was in session. The clerk is SUD-
posed to know his business and make
the proper records, and in this case he
had made them, stating that the meet
ing had been called to order, and re-
cording the names of those present, as
ne always does. This calling the roll
seems to some people all-important.
and for their qualification they can in
future have the privilege Of answering
to the roll and letting their constitu-
ents know they were present. u
1t was stated that the mayor urged
some one of the aldermen to write an
order to discontinue the street, but no
