His momentum carried him over head

Officer Ames and Rollins Cleaning Gu; the
Tough Element from Around Toqus.

The section around about Togus
Soldiers Home has had a bad reputa-
ton for years as a place where the
lawless abide. 1t is a matter of record
that some people out in that section
have made a lot of trouble for the Off
GERS of the law and the locality had got
a black eye socially. The citizens of
Chelsea. in which town Togus is stu
ate, have for some time been anxious
that the fair name of the town should
not be made to suffer longer if there
was way to prevent it.
When Deputy Sheriffs Rollins and
Ames were appointed it was hoped that
they would seize the bull by the horns
and rid the community of the lawless
class that had made life almost mser-
able. Right well have the deputies
performed their duty, as the. record of
the Chelsea municipal court Will show.
In the past four months these officers
have had the, following people before
the court and they have received the
sentences set against their names. The
crimes have been due directly to the
violation of the, liquor law: .,Z>

Mcdonald, Randall, Miron and Shea,

they had 60 gallons of the contraband
stuff to their credit.
1t was high line for the officers and it
was interesting for the crowd that
watched the operations against the
saloons. When the officers raided the
Farmers hotel there was a good sized
crowd on hand. The officers found
there only a moderate amount, but the
raid was systematic and at every place
they visited they brought out some Of
the stuff. They also called upon John
Cormier, Will Springer. Charles
Sturges and E. A. Getchell.
The men who are supposed to
be respondents will probably be called

they were caught with so much stuff
that is used for medicinal purposes on

be brought on to Clinton for burial.
Mr.. Bigelow went to Bismarck, N. D.,
a few weeks ago for his health, but the
change did not benefit him and he was
on his way home and had reached
Buffalo when he was taken so i'll that
it was deemed inexpedient to continue
the journey to Maine. Alter few

Save Your Breath to Cool Your Porridqs.

The Journal has met young lady, 4
clerk in one Of the offices with which
this city abounds, who does more OF
less telephoning in day. The re-
porter called on her. yesterday, jus,
as she was receiving a message from a
down town office. 1t was plain to he
seen that the young lady was shocked
at what was being said to her for
every second or two when the other
party was talking. she would start and
recoil from the instrument as though
the electric combinations of the thing
were seeking to get at her head and
hurt her. When she hung the receiver
on the fork she said: There. l have
got all the telephoning that l care for
today" Then she went on to say that
the person with whom she had been
conversing had never talked into the
instrument before and as the distance
between the two points was about half
mile, he thought that he would have
to "holler" just the same as though he
were cut on the street and wanted to
stop a street car that had got ahead
of him by about two minutes. The
young lady also said that it was sur
prising how many people that used the
telephone every day, and several times
a day at that, really think they mus;
yell in the instrument in order to be
heard. The business man who is
hustling to get ahead of smart COM
petitor. and who has but very little
time to play, gets at the instrument
much as does the greenhorn. Some
times his feelings get the better of his
manners and he will say things that
look like explosives from the outside,
when the central does not hook on a.
soon as he thinks she should. The party
wanted generally gets the benefit of
the explosives for by the time the
irate business man gets through his
aside" the party wanted is hooked
on.
