TWAS A HOT TIME.
How One Civilian Fought HsIfs- Dozen
Fort Soldiers.

The keeper OF q sailors boarding house
on Fore street whose place OF business is
next to Murdock's drug store on the
corner Of Fore and Pearl streets, got mad
Saturday afternoon when half dozen
soldiers from Fort Preble passed bis house
and broke a pane of glass in his window.
The soldiers were feeling very happy and
some Of them were pretty we'll intoxi-
GATED.
The boarding house keeper was quick
to act aud he will repent at leisure while
pieces Of raw beef and bandages saturated
with liniment adorn his person. lie
sprang out onto the sidewalk and knocked
one of the soldiers down before he knew
whit ha d struck him. Then the board
ing house man started to re-enter his
castle but found that the other soldiers
who had rallied to the assistance OF their
fallen comrade had cut of his retreat in
this direction. The man fell back In good
order towards the corner Of Pearl street
with the soldiers pressing upon him
aRgressively. When he reached the corner
of the street the man made dash for
Commercial street and then the fun COM
menoed.
Pursued by half dozen furious soldiers
supported by mob of hundred men
and boys.who same along to see the fun,
the poor boarding house man took the
middle OF Commercial street and ran for
his life. The soldiers and the mob which
followed him filed the whole street and
rent the air with their cries of vengeance
and wrath. just as he reached the corne
of franklin street the boarding house
keeper, who weighs something less than
225, was captured and disappeared in a
cloud of dust surrounded by his pursuers.
When he finally came into view again he
was sight to behold. His clothes were
covered with mud, his face bathed In
blood and the crown of hi hat rested on
his head while its rim encircled his neck.
Making break through the mob which
SURROUNDED him the man made 4 dash for
liberty. He forced his way through the
ring about him and like frightened hare
flew up franklin street but just as he
reached the front of Murdoch and Free
mans establishment he was again over
taken and pommelled some more. Again
he got away and when last seen WAS trav-
elling at two minute clip down Fore
street for his home.
A little later the police officers Appeared
on the scene and arrested one of the
soldiers who passed the night at the po-
lice station and who will appear in court
on Monday morning.

IN BOOK FORM.
Men of Progress are Having
Trouble.
A Decision Saturday in Favor of One
of Them.

In the Superior court, Saturday. the
case of Levi Grcenleaf VS.. Benjamin f.
Hamilton, came up. This Is a suit in
volving the publication Of the book en-
titled "Men of Progress" In the early
part OF 1896, the publishers of the New
England Magazine of Boston sent agents
into this state to secure subscribers for
the above named work which should con-
tain,the portrait and biographical sketch
Of representative men OF the state OF
Maine, .including those OF the subscriber
himself. The subscriber was TO furnish a
sketch Of his life and photograph of him
self within thirty days. II he did not do
this, he was to pay in any event the full
amount OF the subscription price, $50,
upon the delivery Of the book. Written
contracts we're made out, embodying these
terms, and were signed by each subscrib-
er. A large number of subscriptions were
obtained throughout the state, including
many prominent men in this city. The
book was 10 BIO issued in one large, royal
octave volume. When the hoax was final
ly issued, number of subscribers refused
to receive or pay for it,on the ground that
they were misled, and that it was not
what it was represented to be- MIR.
Greenleaf, the plaintiff, obtained the in
terest in many Of these claims by assign
ment.
In the present case, the agent soalled on
Mr.. Hamilton in Biddeford, and obtained
his subscription and signature to the
contract, on April S, 1896. Mr.. Hamilton
afterwards furnished his biographical
sketch but did not furnish his photo
graph. The evidence for the plain tiff was
all put in by deposition. The work was
completed in August, 1891; and on the
4th OF that month, Mr.. Hunt, an agent
of the company, took u cory of the book
to Mr.. Hamilton's Office in Biddeford.
He was informed that Mr.. Hamilton was
out of the city, and he thereupon left the
book In his Office and went away After
the evidence for the plaintiff was all in,
Mir. Haley, counsel for the defendant,
stated that the defense had no testimony
to offer. and argued to the court that the
plaintiff had failed to make out case.
on the ground that the testimony of the
agent proved that there was no delivery
of the book to the defendants that leaving
the book at the defendants office, when
he was expressly informed that the de-
PENDANT was out of the city, did not con .
stitate delivery. There being no ques-
ton of fact involved. the court thereupon
instructed the jury to return a.verdict for
the defendant. upon this ground, that no
delivery had been proven.
The plaintiff took exceptions to this
ruling.
Another of these suits is set for trial
Monday. In this one, the book itself hns
hesn presented as an exhibit in the case,
with passages of the article concerning
the defendant marked and tn defend
ants objection to them explained in type
written statements attached to the vol
