Mr. c. NJ. Phillips of Farmingdale, has
a bull dog that knows a thing or two
and affords no end of sport for patrons OF
the electric road. His dogship has been
associated with horses since he was a
pup. and has developed a degree of speed
thereby that is excelled by very few OF
the fast ones. If there is anything more
than another which delights Mike-that' S
the dogs name-it is good race. but his
taste for competitors is SO fastidous that
nothing short of an electric car can claim
his recognition. 1t is his custom to come
down the Farmingdale road as far as the
old pottery lot. and when a car for up
river comes along, to set his pace in the
same direction. He takes the lead every
time, and nothing short of two minute
speed can catch him before he reaches
Bowman street, which is the end of his
race course. These races are an every
day. occurrence with Mike. and that he
enjoys, it's undeniable. Last year. Mike
distinguished himself by grabbing the
reins of runaway horse. and bringing
the frightened steed to standstill, there
by averting serious damage.

TWO FORGED CHECKS
Passed On Randolph Traders and the Police
Are After ". 1. Heath.

Randolph people are all stirred up
over forgery that was perpetrated in
that quiet town. Saturday, the partic-
ulars Of which have just been made
public. William Leonard Heath OF
Togus, who is more or less known in
Randolph, called at several of the gro
Gerry stores in that town and offered
checks in payment of small. debts that
he owed. In some places he was re-
fused, but he found two victims.
At the store of A. c. Clark he owed a
bill of SIPS and when he offered the
check Mr.. Clark. who was busy, just
glanced at the check and signature,
and paid the balance due after deduct
ing the amount OF his bill. The check
was for $15.25 and was drawn on the
Maine Trust and Banking Co., being
signed by the Augusta Lumber Co., by
Ira Randall, president.
Another check for $3.50 drawn and
signed the same way. was offered, to
Mr.. John Bookings. who also deducted
his bill and paid, the balance.
1t subsequently developed that the
blanks on which the amounts were
drawn had been secured by Heath at
the store where Mr.. Brookings is en-
ployed.
When the checks were presented for
payment it was found that both were
forgeries and payment was refused.
1t is evident that Heath had an ac-
complete in the business, as the hand
writing on the face Of the check was
much better and entirely different tom
Heath's endorsement.
The matter was at once placed in the
hands of the authorities. but at this
writing Heath is still at large. How.

Leslie W. Corson of the United States
cruiser New York. arrived in town on
the Wednesday morning Pullman from
the West. on 4S-hour furlough. and was
the centre of attraction during the day.
Mr.. Corson is Skowhcgan boy, hav-
ing been born in that town 35 years ago
He made Augusta his home for about II
years previous TO the Acknowledgements
war, serving six years as night fireman
for the Augusta Lumber Company, and
seven years and six months in the Uni
ted States ordnance corps at Kennebec
arsenal. Last spring he enlisted for the
navy at Boston and was assigned 20 the
cruiser New York, on which he has since
been. He is what is called on shipboard
a water tender, which is really master
machinist. and gets good salary. Mr..
Corson is a man of intelligence and gen.
al manner. and tells Of his experience in
an of hand and modest way that makes
it pleasant to listen to. His story of the
destruction Of the Spanish feet Is particu-
larry interesting, and differs some from
the inflated newspaper accounts pub
lished at the time. In reply to an in
quiry about the effect the shells of the
Vesuvius, he said that one who had not
seen, could have no idea of the destruc-
ton that the shells caused. Only light
charges were used-25o pounds of explo-
sive. but where they struck the earth
was completely blown away and the pits
dug by the explosion were enormous. In
speaking of Admiral Sampson he said
that he was strict disciplinarian, but a
fine man, who had the respect and ut
most confidence and esteem of every man
on the ship. Mr.. Corsor expects TO be in
New York again where his ship is under
going an overhauling, Saturday.

THE WATER WORKS.
Talking Up Plans Tor Purchase Of the Plant
by the City.

meeting to talk over the proposed
scheme advanced by Lawyer Harvey D.
Eaton for5tthe city to buy the water
works was theld in Lawyer Eaton's Of
flee, last night.
Lawyer Eaton in the beginning said
that several Waterville people had
wished Waterville alone to own the
plant From the fact that other towns
are interested he was of the opinion that
the other towns should have hand in
governing the plant when purchased.
While reading the bill to be presented
to the Legislature Lawyer Eaton ex-
planned that by securing the property by
right of eminent domain, the title to the
property would be clear. 1t would not be
clear by purchase alone by the reason
that the company's bonds are held all
over creation and some of the bonds are
secured by mortgages or other plants
owned by the company.
In regard to the city of Waterville be-
ing near its debt limit Mr.. Eaton said
that the city would not be liable since
the proposed district would stand in the
same relation to the city. as the county
does to the city.
In regard to exercising the right of
eminent domain Mr.. Eaton cited case af-
ter case where the right had been exer-
cised.
During discussion that followed as to
whether or not law suit with the COM
pany, c. w. Sullivan said the company is
ready to make the transfer.
ain regard to the issue of bonds specified
in the contract, Mr.. Eaton said all the
old bonds would have to be given up and
that while the company is at present
paying per cent. on their bonds the
city could hire the money for per cent.
