pleased to receive a generous check
last week from lady who makes her
summer home here and who appreci-
ates the value to town of good
band. Wednesday night will be
fine chance to give the band help
ing hand and insure a continuance of
those popular open air concerts
through the summer.
Mr.. Notemire came down from
Sterling last Saturday and hitched
his team near Miles, Mcmahon &
Cos. store. About one O'Clock the
old horse became tired ofwaiting and
wandered down the bank and into
the river where it stood, calmly listen
ing to what the wild waves we're say
ing, when Notemire discovered it.
After some fruitless angling from the
shore, Notemire found that little
personal assistance would be requir-
ed and waded in, finally getting the
rig out with the loss of one wheel.
The hearing of Frank Smith for
alleged cruelty to animals was held
at town hall last Wednesday. States
Attorney T. G. Cheney was the prose-
cutting officer, while the defence was
ably conducted by Geo. NJ. Powers.
Mr.. Smith claimed that his stock re-
ceived liberal allowances of food and
accounted for the shadowy appear
ance of some of his horses and other
stock by the statement that his hay
contained a large percentage of
brakes. The jury found that Mr..
Smith was not guilty ofill-treatment,
but the trial cannot fail to be ofvalue
from the farmers standpoint since it
clearl y establishes the fact that polly
pod brakes should not be classed as
a health food.

C. II. Stearns met with what might
easily have been very serious acct
dent at his mill in Canada last week.
The logs in a large shute became
j6mmed in and in trying to break the
jam Mr.. Stearns got into the shute.
But not being a man easily carried
away and possessing great resisting
powers he was rescued from his peril
GUS position with only a broken rib
and some severe bruises.
Joseph Scott, who has been visiting
friends here recently, has been repair
ing the old homestead in Eden and
last Sunday his brother, D. S. Scott
and family and some other relatives
including an uncle, Sabin Scott, who
is 81 years old, gathered there for a
social time. Dinner was served and
no doubt many old memories which
always cluster around the old home
steads we're revived. Mr.. Scott re-
turned to Massachusetts Tuesday.
Last Saturday afternoon several of
the small boys of the village attended
the ball game, and being DESTROYS of
obtaining a good view climbed upon
the roof of the shanty there. After
getting up, the temptation to jump
off proved irresistible, and little Bert
ron Hunt, not to be outdone by an
other, even though he be a bigger one,
took the leap. He came to the
ground, as we are all apt to do when
we try to fly, but struck on his arm
breaking it near the wrist. Bertron
stopped play long enough to have it
set and then resumed his usual avo-
cations.
The town hall was filled to it's ut
most capacity last Sunday by an au-
dience that could not by any means
have been seated or even given stand
ing room in any of the churches. That
the sermon preached by Rev. S. E.
Packard was extremely interesting
was evidenced by the close attention
of the audience. The subject chosen
was God in History" the text being
Matt. 1929, care not two sparrows
sold for a farthiDg? and one of them
shall not fall on the ground without
your Father" and the parallel pas
sage in Luke. Mr.. Packard showed
that however much war was to be de-
plored yet sometimes iU was necessary
in the interests of humanity. That
God uses both reformation and revo-
luton. Then he skilltully led to the
idea that life was a constant warfare
and charged the sons to fight their
battles against the sometimes invisi-
BILE foes as valiantly as the veterans
did their visible ones, whom they met
and fought with shot and shell. He
paid a fitting tribute to the soldiers
badge, which he said differed from
that of other societies in that al
though they might be badges of hon
or yet they could be gained by good
citizenship, moral character or plenty
of money, whereas the soldiers
badge meant service, sacrifice, tears
and blood. The singing rendered by
a quartet consisting of Messrs. Jones,
Witherell. harrington and Pearl, with
Mrs. W. E. Ranger at the piano, was
very fine.

and MATE
Held FOR TRIAL
Held for BrutaIly Treating
thO Crew Of an Oyster
Boat

Baltimore, Jan. 16.-Charles Middle
ton and Richard w. Clayton, master
end mate OF the oyster dredging
schooner James A. Waiting, were
given a hearing before United States
Commissioner Rogers yesterday on the
charge of cruelty treating several mem-
bers of their crew and held for trial in
81 900 bail.
John Kenny, who said he taught
school in Ireland for six years before
coming to this country, was the prin-
cipal witness. While employed in a
machine works in Philadelphia he saw
an advertisement for 400 men to work
on oyster boats. No exT erience was
required. He and ten Others were
brought to Baltimore on Nov. %. They
shipped for one month at S13 a month.
OF this amount 81 was retained for
bringing the men from Philadelphia
and for other expenses. When their
month was up, Kenny says. the cap
tain refused to let them leave the
schooner. The fare was bad and the
men were kicked and beaten almost
daily in Capt. MiddletOn's presence by
Mate Clayton, who said he was hired
for that purpose and proposed to do his
duty.
Philip a. McDonough another wit
ness, said that the steward stood over
him with a knife the first morning he
was on the Whiting and maze him eat
the fat meat Afterwards he was sick.
During the second month tho men were
given very little time TO eat. McDon-
ough said that he was repeatedly as
eau1fed and boafon All of the r-ou
told the same story. The assaults
were daily occurrences.
In a statement prepared by Kenny
he said he believed that on Austrian
Pole named Ryback was thrown over
board on the night Of Nov. is. If the
man was not murdered it is said that
he was driven to suicide by Clayton S
cruelty.
