State VS.. Burt II. Wells we're out of

and w. II. Conner were drawn in
their place. This completed the pre-
liminary CREATIONS and the work then
began.
Mr.. Hoar demanded that the re-
spondent produce the check which it
alleged he drew for $l2,ll6 81 with
out Mayor Hersey's signing OF the
warrant. The court said he was not
compelled to produce the check with.
out evidence appearing that there is
check. Mr.. Hoar called for the
records which show who is mayor,
clerk, treasurer etc. Mr.. Gordon said
he should think he would want some
evidence that he was mayor.
Judge Fay: "this is nota side show
and such remarks must STOP"
The only evidence introduced in
the case yesterday afternoon was the
testimony of Frank G. Howland, trea-
surer OF the Barre Savings Bank and
Trust company, who testified to the
payment of the amount Of money in
question on a note sent to his bank
by the Bank of the Republic Of Bos-
ton. The court then adjourned until
9 o'clock this morning.
The case was renewed this morning
before Judge A. G.. Fay. Harvey Her
sey was the first and only witness.
John W. Gordon for defense had the
witness in hand and was asking ques-
tionS.
"Mr. Hersey, did you know at the
time this warrant was presented to
you-?"
Mr.. Hoar-'I object"
Then an argument followed be-
tween the two lawyers and the court

Settle Alaska Question

London, Dec. lS.-The Westmins-
ter Gazette expresses view radically
olherent from most of it's contempor-
aries. 1t finds perfectly natural the
desire OF the United States to take
guarantees against the use of the Mic
aragua Canal by an enemy, but thinks
because America desires what the
Senate will ask is not sufficient rea-
son for taking it without payment.
The Gazette adds: "a way out of
the difficulty is to settle the vexatious
Alaskan boundary against the abroga.
tion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty."

Must belong TO her alone.

Safe and coy in its bed.
When the world may do its worst,
