WEDNESDAYS POLICE COURT.
Three DRINKS from WatervilIe. A Windsor M,
in Trouble.

Several cases came before Judy.
Andrews at the municipal court ves-
terday morning. Eddie Barney ana
John Libby and Ed Lesser of Wafer
vile. were arrested by the policei for
intoxication Barney had been IN. he
fore. but as he had made no disturb
ance he was given the same penalty as
the other two. They were each fined
81 and allowed to go.
Edwin Cappers of Windsor was then
tried on a charge of intoxication and
disturbance in the town of Windsor.
by Deputy Sheriff Pinkham and
brought to the Augusta lookup, Tues
day evening.
Mcssrs. w. a. Pinkham, b. G. Long
fellow and J. Hussey were sworn as
witnesses. Pinkham stated that
Cappers was in a state of intoxication
about 5 o'clock. Tuesday afternoon. He
said that he was driving his horse
very hard and that he used very in
sulting language toward him in the
presence of various people He said
that he drove to the house Of Mr..
Hussey with his wife. that he had a
citation to serve on Cappers and while
at Hussey's he saw Cappcrs driving
down the road toward him. He went
to the road and called out as Cappers
approached. Here. Ed l have a paper
l want to serve on you" He said that
this was repeated. but that Cappers
drove on without stopping. He jumped
into his wagon and followed Cappcrs.
He called on Cappers to stop, but he
Ia
rest him for drunkenness if he did not
stop and drive back with him so that
he could serve the citation on him
which he had left with his wife Cap
pers refused and defied Pinkham to
touch him at the same time calling him
several foul names. +. w. White
house. Esq. attorney for Cappers cross
examined him. but brought out moth
ing new. Mr.. Longfcllow said that he
saw Cappers and that he thought
he had been drinking. He heard some
talk of an insulting nature directed
toward Mr.. Pinkham. Mr.. Husscy
thought that Cappers had been drink
ing. Both these men were cross ex-
amined with view to proving that
Cappers might have been excited and
regarded the fact that Pinkham was
chasing him in the nature of horse
race. but the men did not seem to
think that this was possible.
Caprers was then sworn and took the
stand. He said that he did not hear
Pinkham speak to him. and did not
know who it was behind him until he
was struck by whip in the hands OF
Pinkham when he looked round. He
claimed that he had taken two glasses
of cider. but that he was not intoxi-
Gated. Cappers further said that he
did not resist arrest. which fact had
been alleged by Mr.. Pinkham. Mr..
Whitehousc argued at some length
trying to make the court take the
view that Cappers was excited and
thought that Pinkham was trying to
race horses with him. and then after
being beaten in tbschprse race he ar
rested Cappcrs. possibly out of feel
ing of chaErin at Cappers' having the
faster horse. Evidently, however.
this view of the case was not shared
by the judge who went over the case
very carefully and finally sentenced
the man to 80 days in Jail. The case
was appealed and Cappers was given
until Friday to furnish bonds.
