ANDERSON WILL CONTEST.
Long and Bitter Fight Expected Over
Property at Rockland.

Eockland, Me-, Feb. 10-Initial steps
have been taken in the contest over the
will Of Mrs Maria Anderson, involving
property valued at $4,000. Mrs. Ander-
son was the widow of the late John
Jones, who died four years ago. Last
August, she married w. w. Anderson
OF Newburyport. Mass, who had
worked for her but few months. On
Sept q last. she died. A will made by
the deceased previous to her marriage
to Anderson is supposed to have been
destroyed and a new one made which
gave the bulk of the property to Ander-
son.
1t is this second will which relatives
of Mrs. Anderson contest, alleging I'M
due means and incompetency. Able
legal talent is employed on both side
and it promises to be a long and bitter
contest unless compromise of some
sort is effected.

THE LAW INVOKED
To Provide Proper Care for
Three Little Bath Girls,
Who, it Is Alleged, Are Sadly Neg
Iected by Their Father.
Said to Be Growing Up in Filth and
Utter Ignorance.

Bath, Me, Feb. 10.-(SpcciaD.-A
hearing of considerable interest was
granted by the aldermen, this after
neon, to Elmer J. Rich. Mrs. Eleanor E.
petitioned the municipal officers to take
some action against James Rock of
North Bath, alleging that he was not
properly caring for three of his little
girls, who We're motherless and minors,
and as result they were being brought
up in utter ignorance.
The petitioners stated that they had
visited the Rock homestead upon sew
eral occasions, and had found it in
very filthy condition, and that the chill
dren had been covered with vermin.
The testimony of Mr.. Rich was very
strong. and angered Mr.. Rock to such
an extent that he wholly ignored Mayor
Fercy's warning to keep quiet until
asked to tell his side of the story, and
an officer had to remove him from the
room. Mr.. Rich stated that the three
little girls had been born under the
worst possible conditions, and that they
nat. never Deell uettilliS ClolHttl VI leu,
and neither were they allowed to attend
school.
When questioned by the aldermen,
Mr. Rock stated that he had been in
poor health for several months. and
needed his children at home to do his
Homework. He claimed that he had
always clothed and treated them as
we'll as his circumstances would allow.
The aldermen decided to refer the
matter to Judge Fogg of the Bath mu
nicipal court, who will later render
decision.
Officers Parker, Jack and Lundrigan
searched the Holly Tree Inn on Center
street, this afternoon, and succeeded in
finding two pitchers of liquor. The
proprietor, Joseph Bourget, was arrest
ed and will be tried in the municipal
court tomorrow. This is the second
time Bourgeois place has been raided
within a week. The warrant this time
was signed by Arthur j. Dunton of the
Civic League.

HE MISSES $500.
c. T. WormeII of Albion Says He Was
Robbed by Stranger.

Albion, Me, Feb. 10.-Charles +.
Wormell claims to have been robbed
of nearly $500, last evening, by a man
whom he had taken into his team to
cattle buyer. He says he drank with
the stranger several times and that he
became drowsy. Wormell does not
remember when the stranger left the
team and missed his money only this
morning. He is unable to give a de-
scription of the stranger beyond that
the latter wore a black overcoat and
cap.
