the supreme court, held court here.
Thursday. when the important case
of Shaw vs.. Monsoon Maine Slate Co
was heard. The case is in equity and
after the evidence had been introduced
the case went to the law court on re-
port.
The plaintiff in the bill is Milton G.
Shaw of Bath, the we'll known lumber
man, and with the Slate Co. in defence
are Otis Martin, deputy sheriff. and
the First National Bank of Guilford.
A. ~ Williams of Boston and ex-
torneys for the plaintiff. Col. J. b.
Peaks and Hon. Henry Hudson for de-
PENDANTS.
The action results from the following
circumstances: Three years ago the
MonsOn Maine Slate Co. doing BUSH
ness at Monson, issued 300 bonds of
$1,000 each. The bonds numbered 26l-
800 inclusive were pledged by d. r.
Straw of Guilford, president of the
Monson Maine Slate Co., to Milton G..
Shaw and Joseph c. Atkins of Gar
diner, for two loans amounting to
$3.50. Notes We're given at the time
signed by Straw & Proctor and on the
Two notes held by Mr.. Shaw Judgment
was recovered.
EXECUTION having issued it was
placed in the hands of Sheriff Martin
| to collect. He gave the statutory no
| tice for the sale but the plaintiff is
! now informed that he cannot attach
the bonds and accompanying coupons
| in suit at law, and in the bill prays
| that Sheriff Martin be enjoined from
| selling said bonds and coupons, but
| asks that the court nominate some
person to sell the same under it's di-
rection. The defense says the bonds
| were simply obligations to pay money
| and not property of said company.

a strong rival to the Maine Water
Co. in this town has sprung up in the
Spring Water Company. recently or
ganzed and which has just installed II
pipe line connection with a large sup
ply of spring water in the back part
of the town. Some of the most prom
inent citizens of the place are interest
ell in the new water supply. among
them being V. r. Conner. \. +. Gerald,
f. J. Lawrence and \. 3. Page.
1t was the original intention to get
a supply of pure water for the specia,
benefit of the gentlemen Immediately
interested in the move. a line of pipes
was laid at large expense and the
springs put in condition for furnishing
the water. The plan worked very sue
cessfully. The water secured was cold.
pure and sparkling without a hint of
impurity. A goodly number of resi-
dences and The Gerald were first sup
piled. When the people began to rec
ognize what a good thing the spring
water was going to be they began to
clamor for it. The company has no
charter, however, and is simply a pri-
vate corporation, but the demand was
very strong from all sections of the
town and as it was seen that the sup
ply of water would be sufficient for all
demands. more people We're admitted TO
the company and the water supplied
to them. All consumers are stock
holders. so the action is perfectly legal.
a pipe has recently been laid along the
river front behind the business blocks
on Main street and several of the busi-
ness men have taken stock in the COM
pany and had their stores piped for
the spring water.
The Maine Water Co. learning that
several places along the street had
been supplied with the spring water.
sent men up. Thursday. TO take out the
pipes running from the mains in the
street into the stores to the point
where they were owned by the owners
of the stores. T.. Kelley, chairman of
the board of selectmen. objected to
having the street torn UP SO late in
the season. as it would make bad plac-
es all through the coming spring until
the ground had become thoroughly set
tied again in the summer. There We're
several pipes to be taken up. so that
the street would apparently be left
in bad shape. He. therefore. went out
and ordered the men to quit digging
until he (Mr. Kelley could ascertain
whether the company had Il right to
thus dig up the streets. The man re-
fused to do so, claiming that his boss
had ordered him to discOnnect the pipe
and that he was going to do SO, or in
words to that effect. Mr.. Kelley was
persistent, however. and gained his
point, and the man lost his pickaxe.
After consulting legal advice he found
that the Water Co. had a perfect right
to do as it was doing and the man re-
ceived his pickaxe again and continued
to dig.
Mr.. Stacy, the local manager of the
Water Co., agreed to compromise
SO that no. more Of the street than was
absolutely necessary should be dug up.
He said that it was necessary to dis
conpect the pipes which were not going

to. He was very fair in his position
so the incident was thus pleasantly
closed. ana the men of the Maine Wa
ter co. were at work. yesterday. dis
connecting the pipes and taking out
what was necessary.
From this simple incident. however ru-
NOR started some thrilling stories. Ii was
said that as soon as the Maine Water Co.
learned that certain people on High an i
Main streets were going to have the
spring vaterEit Immediately shut OF the
water along the entire length of both
streets and that the people would have
to get along the best they could until the
spring water crew got along with the
pipes. This was reckcned a case of pure
spite on the part of the Maine Water Co.
and was severely criticized. 1t was ac-
cused of taxing pipe which belonged to
the house owners and a lot more mean
things.
The fact of the case is. the Maine Wa
ter co. did none of these things. It
recognizes the right of the Spring Water
Company and has no grildge against it
III was simply protecting its own prop
erty in taking up the pipes that 1t did.
To be sure If the spring water should by
any mischance fail and the pipes have 10
be connected again the patrons will have
to pay for the job. There Is little fear OF
that however. as the springs are work
ing very satisfactorily and give good as
surance of being capable of supplying
water for the whole town If needed.
There has been some delay in getting
in the spring water to all the people who
are going to have 1t, on account of the
scarcity of men. for the town is booming
just ut present and men cannot be picket
up on every corner. The work of laying
the spring water pipes had to be suspend
ed on this account But when the work
of Contractor CComhS was held up by the
high water Mr. Conner got part of his
crew and continued the work as far as
possible. When the water went down
again the men went back to their regular
work and the spring water was again
sidetrackcd.
According to present indications it
would seem that by the time the Kenne-
bee Water District gets its case out OF
court and takes charge OF the water in
this vicinity there will he little work for
IL to do here. as il cannot compete with
the spring water for all purposes.

GEORGETOWN AND PRINCETON.
They Promise an Exhibition of Fas.
Baseball Today.

A rare treat is in store for the Wash
ington fans this afternoon on Georgetown s
campus. as the Princeton Tigers cross bats
with the Georgetown University team. The
game will be a very fast and exciting one
from the first to the last inning, as Prince
ton always dies hard, while Georgetown
has never been known to concede herself
defeated until the last batsman Is out. The
showing of the two contesting teams so far
this season is unsurpassed, neither having
tasted the bitter cup of defeat. Princeton
has met and defeated by good margins Rut-
gers College. the college Of the city OF New
York, and the very strong Fordham Col
lege team. Georgetowns record is perhaps
a little better as she has defeated six we'll
known colleges, including Lehigh, Cornell,
and Yale.
Among the best known players OF the
Princeton team are Hildebrand and kafer.
The latter is considered by many the SUI
perior of any catcher in the college world,
both in fielding and in batting. His throw
ing TO second is always feature. and lucky
is the runner who steals a base off him.
Hildebrand. elected captain of the team, is
the Tigers far-famed pitcher. His in
shoots and out curves have caused many a
batsman to fan the air. Two new men, who
have only this year Joined the team, are
Meier at short, and steinwender, on sec
ond Both have jumped into popularity
Meier is clean fielder and wields the will
low TO good effect. Steinwender puts up
fast ball, fielding and batting nicely. A
large crowd will witness the game, as
Princeton is a prime favorite with Wash
ington fans. The game will be called at
p. m. promptly. The lineup will be as
follows:
Georgetown-Moran. shortstop; Downes,
centre field; Walsh. right field; OHara,
second base; CranstOn, catcher; Golden.
left field; Devlin, first base; Smith, third
base. and White pitcher.
