A Public Court Trial.
Prominent Citizen Charged with the Lar.
ceny of a Rooster.

Prominent Citizen Charged with the Lar.
ceny of Rooster.
For some time, it is alleged, one of our
prominent citizens has been the happy pos
SCISSOR of available Plymouth Rock rooster
He had no special qualities above ROSTERS
in general, except degree of plumpnesS
that has time and again excited the cupidity
of epicures.
Not far from the residence of the gentle
man mentioned above lives another prOmi-
nent citizen who has an uncomfortable ap-
petite for poultry
One evening recently this rooster retired
to his perch in the hen house as happy and
contented as any rooster in Belfast. The
next morning he was missing. That day
had roast rooster for dinner. This may, or
may not, be regarded as suspicious cir
cumstance; but there is other evidence that
forms connecting link between the hen
house and his table.
The result is that he will be tried in pub
lie for the larceny of the fowl, and his
questionable attitude toward ROSTERS in
general will be given an airing in the near
future.
The parties in the case are so prominent
that 1t is feared no court room will hold the
vast crowd DESTROYS Of attending the trial,
so it will be held in the Belfast SOpera
House on Monday evening, August Goth,
under the auspices of Silver Cross Lodge,
No. IS, r. of p, for whose benefit the pro
ceeds will be devoted. In other words, it
will be mock court trial and it promises
to be one of the most enjoyable events of
many years, as large number of our lead
ing citizens will take part in the proceed
ings The committee having the affair in
charge have engaged Col. A. V. Newton of
Worcester, Mass, the veteran manager of
this form OF entertainment, to attend to the
details Col. Newton has had remarkable
success in the larger cities in all parts of
the country and without doubt the mock
court trial will be here, as elsewhere, an
event long to be remembered with pleasure

game was too one-sided to be interesting

has one OF the best pitchers in Knox county,
Sanborn, and he keeps his record we'll up
with his neighbors, but he is no match for
Crockett. The out-tielders of Belfast had
no chances, as Ninalhaven failed to make
any heavy hits. The Vinalhavens made a
good double play. Patterson hit to center,
Bowman caught it and threw to Fitield at
first, who put out Pinckney between first
and second. Ninalhaven got its . runs in
the last inning on close decision by the
umpire as to fair or foul ball. Following is
the score:
