HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Ccurt Fints Probable Cause in West Gardiner
Libel Case.

Eben p. Allen was bound over to
await the action OF the grand jury, yes
terday afternoon. on the charge of
criminal libel The complainant in the
case was IZetta Watson, whom Allen
claims is his wife.
1t will be remembered from the story
of the affair, as published. few days
ago. whens1he case was first brought
into court. that the complainant,
Izetta Allen. alleges that after she had
lived with Allen for some time and
then went to another place to find work
Allen tried to induce her to return.
She refused to do this. A short time
afterward her employer received let
ter in which statements against Mrs.
WatsOn's character were made.
When the case was brought before
Judge Andrews, Mrs. Watson told sub
stantially the same story as given in
the Journal. She still denied the claims
made by Allen that she was his wife.
Allen made a general denial that he
had written the letter. Other letters
that Allen had written to Mrs. Watson
were introduced as testimony. Allen
admitted that he had written those let
ters but denied the authorship of that
in which harsh statements were made
concerning Mrs. WatsOn's honesty.
The court found probable cause and
Allen was bound over to await the
action of the grand jury.

TELLS DIFFERENT STORY.
Mrs. Ni!iism Col In r. counts Her Version el
the Alleged Ass ault.

Mrs. Mary Ellen Washburn was held,
yesterday. to await the action of the
grand jury on the charge Of malicious
assault on Mrs. William Coffin. She
was committed to Jail, being unable to
secure bondsmen.
The case was tried at the Augusta
City Hospital where the injured wo-
man is confined. she not being able to
go to the court room. Bolstered up in
bed she told story of the affair that is
somewhat different from that which
has yet been told. She stated that, last
Friday. Mrs. Washburn called at her
home on Chapel street Mrs. Coffin
came to the door and for a time the
two stood talking in an angry manner
At that time the screen door was
fastened and the conversation was car
ried on through the screen.
After they had been talking for a
time, according to the. testimony Of
Mrs. Coffin, the injured woman. she
opened the door and allowed Mrs.
Washburn to enter. On that the com
plainant went on to say she caught
hold of Mrs. Washburn and tried to
force her back. The two then clinched
and finally Mrs. Coffin was forced into
the corner and back into the next room.
AS she fell her hip was broken. In
reply to the question of Lawyer Shell
don, the counsel for the defendant. she
stated that if one leg had not been in
jured she probably would not have
been hurt
When the trouble was over Mrs.
Washburn started, for the doctor and
expressed her sympathy that Mrs. Cof-
fin was injured. Mrs. Coffin stated
that she did not wish the case pushed
any further.
In default Of bail Mrs. Washburn
was held until the September term Of
court when it Is thought by DR.. Tuell
that Mrs. Coffin will be able to be out

How lightning Kills.

1T is a popular belief said a local
physician. that death from lightning l.;
caused by internal burns or by the rup-
ture of some vital organ. such as the
heart the lungs. or stomach: but. though
severe LESSONS may sometimes occur post
mortem examina tions seldom reveal any
serious affections of the viscera. or. for
that matter. anything abnormal in the
physiological conditions of the stricken
person.
THE same also applies to people killed
by contact with live wires. In cases of
lightning stroke and electric shock some
of the chief nerve centres are intensely
stimulated. One of these. the medulla
oblongata. situated at the head of the
spinal cord. exercises considerable con-
troll over the movement of respiration.
while the nerve which it sends out. and
which is called from its wanderings the
vagus, has similar power over the ac-
ton of the heart. so that when these
nerve masses are subjected to any undue
excitement the functions Of respiration
and circulation are at once interfered
with
For this reason. in all cases. whether
of lightning stroke or electric shock the
sufferer Is to be placed without delay
IN the most favorable position for breath
ing, so that by energetically rubbing all
parts of the body. and especially by re..
ular traction of the tongue. respiration
may be restored if at all possible. Such
attentions have recalled animation more
than once when all hopes of recovery
were given up In one case IS minutes
elapsed before the patient gave signs of
returning animation. and at the end of
two hours he was able to speak. He ex-
perienced no other injury than burns on
the hands and thigh

said Hon. s. W. Carr. state insurance

returned from that section. where a
thorough investigation has been made
1t was thought at one time that THE
burning of the buildings might have
some connection with the murder there,
but as yet nothing has been brought up
to show that there is any connection.
In spite of the thOroughness Of the in
vestigat ton, Commissioner Carr is at
a loss to know how to the account for
the buildings being burned. There was
no insurance on the buildings Of any
consequence and as far as can be learn
ed there is no motive for the crime.

rise there will be in the value as fixed
by the assessors is hard to determine
at this time. One prominent timber
land owner is quoted as saying that he
would sell his timberlands for 81 an
acre. 1t is probable that the change
in value as placed by the assessors will
be made in certain localities. When
the lands are located adjacent to some
pulp settlement their value will be
placed far above those places that are
remote from streams or sections where
the lumber can be easily marketed.
