The continued civil docket numbers
pa cases, the equity Z, and the criminal

small dimensions, but nothing is thereby
indicated as to the length of the term.
OF the thirteen prisoners now in jail,
only one is bound over to this term OF
court. That one is Napoleon Sturgeon,
brought from Rumford Falls on the
charge of breaking and entering an I'M
inhabited building in the day time.
Frank Remming, who was committed
last week, is here on an appealed case
for sale of liquor.
Another of the prisoners is awaiting
this term of court with the prospect OF
some time being released from an in
generation that he did not anticipate.
This is Timothy ConnOrs, who was SEN
fenced in the Rumford Falls Municipal
Court in November to term OF thirty
days for intoxication. AS many Others
do. he appealed to this court. But in
order to do this, it was necessary for
him either to give bonds for his appear
ance at this term, or await the term in
Jail. He couldn't furnish the bonds and
went to Jail. Then he looked the situa-
ton over and saw that he would have to
wait in Jail about four months before he
would find out whether or not he was
to stay there thirty days. The prospect
didn't appear just cheerful, and he ap-
piled to Sheriff Tucker for leave to
withdraw his appeal and take his thirty
days. The sheriff told him he had no
authority in the matter, and referred
him to Judge Johnson, who imposed
the sentence. A letter to Judge john
son elected the information that it was
too late to withdraw the appeal. So he
is waiting as patiently as may be.
The Oxford Bar Association will hold
it's annual meeting Tuesday afternoon,
at which time revised rules and regula-
tions and schedule of fees, prepared by a
committee appointed at the last term,
will be presented and acted upon.
The Oxford Bar Association has ar
ranged for bar supper to be given at
Beal's Hotel, Norway, on Tuesday even
ing of this week. Hon. George d. Bisbee
of Rumford Falls will be POSTMASTER for
the occasion
