Waterville Mail: Frank A. Small,
the superior court, as he has been at
every other term ever held in the city,
has been in the harness as court re-
porter for little over twenty seven
years. Mr.. Small began his official
work with Judge Cutting in the SUI
preme judicial court in Augusta.
Stenographers were not as plentiful in
those days as now and so Mr.. Small
had to do service for nearly every JUS
tice in Maine. After his first term in
Kennebec he was jumped to Aroostook.
He has been well acquainted with
every Maine judge that has been on
the bench since he began work in 1871.
OF course he has seen a great many
interesting and more embarrassing
cases. Some of them have been long
drawn out, the record in this case be-
ing held by the Abbott will case tried
at Augusta, in which a considerable
amount of property was involved and
which lasted for 16 days. Almost as
extended as this was the Getchell
murder case, in which Emma Getchell
of West Sidney, now in State prison
for life, was tried for the murder of
her husband. Mr.. Small has imbibed
not a little law by his continual assoc
citation with legal lights and could
probably pass a better examination
for the bar than that which allows a
good many candidates to slip in. He
is withal genial gentleman possess
ing many friends.

uno Beer Causing Trouble.

Is Uno beer intoxicating?
Upon this question depends much of
the future business of the beer sellers
of Augusta and Chelsea, in that section
of the country around Togus. During
the late war against the rumsellers.
there were many who were arrested fo-
selling this beverage and they claim it
is within the limit of the law. Samples
of the beer have been sent to Prof.
Robinson of Bowdoin college, and he
declares after analysis that he finds
about 21s per cent. of alcohol.
This does not decide. however,
whether or not the beer is Intoxicating,
and to ascertain this proposition has
been made to give anyone who wishes
to try it, all he can drink providing he
will drink a large amount. This is a
great opening for some one who is in
this line of business.
It is said the manufacturers of the
beer give a certificate that the beer
contains ! $40 per cent. of alcohol
Should the beer prove to be intoxicat-
ing the prosecution of those who are
selling it is almost certain.

Local Matters.
Ares, Q, ! watch Thief.

The Augusta police were notineo'
Saturday by the Gardiner police 70
look out for young man named FRED
Macon. who was suspected of having
STOLEN q watch from a man in Gardiner,
who works in the mill. This young
man whose home is in New Brunswick
has been stopping in the city several
weeks at the factory boarding house,
looking for work. There is one
regularity about him that makes him
easily distinguishable, and that is his
left hand which at first appearances
is missing, but investigation shows
that there is a very small hand, on a
we'll developed wrist. This was one OF
the ways that his identity was ex-
planned to the Augusta police, who at
once knew who to look for.
Officer Mcdonald notified Jeweler F.
E. Hilton to look for the man, and If
he should attempt to sell the watch to
hold him. Not 10 minutes after Officer
Mcdonald had left the store, the man
entered and tried to sell the watch.
Mr.. Hilton walked out from behind the
counter and coolly locked the door, to
wait for the arrival. Of the officer, who
soon appeared and took the man to
the lookup, where he was held until a
Gardiner officer arrived and took him
to Gardiner. for hearing, which will
take place, this morning.
