It seems to be generally believed that the bill which was the result of the convention of national guardsmen in
 Washington will become a law It is certainly a well constructed bill. It
 gives the president the same authority over the National Guard which he is now entitled to exercise; it provides for
 the equipment of the militia with the
 same rifles and carbines nov used. or
 to be hereafter used, by the regular
 army; it gives to the governors of the
 States the right to request that any
 National Guard organization may be allowed to take part in army field man
 euvers or in camp duty and it makes
 compulsory the granting of such re-
 quest by the War departments; it pro-
 vides for the enrolment of a volunteer force of 100000 trained men, who shall
 have served in the regular army or in

A Flemish artist has produced what is said to be the smallest painting in the world. It is a picture of a miller mounting the stairs of his mill, and carrying a sack of grain on his back. The mill is depicted as standing near terrace. Close at hand are a horse and cart, with a few groups of peas ants idling in the road near by, All this is painted on the smooth side of a grain of ordinary white corn. It is necessary to examine it under a miscro- scope, and it is drawn with perfect ac clracy.

JUDGE
BURTON
IN JAIL
Well Known Mining Man
Surrendered By His
BOndSmen.

Francis L. Burton, who for long time
nected with the Kokomo- Pioneer Mining and Mill
ing company, is in Jail in Boston.
The above news was received in this city one
day this week by Chas Sma1lhoff, resident of
Dunont. Mr.. Smallhoff received a copy of the
Boston Herald under date of August "a, giving the
full details of the affair 1t stated that Burton had
been surrendered by his bondsmen, and was held
in Jail in default of $1,000 bonds.
The trouble in which Burton finds himself dates
from early in the year 1901. He had started on a
trip to Boston and during the of his journey
a wreck occurred on the N. V, N. H. & H. R. R
When he emerged from the mix-up it was found
that he scratched and bruised about the face.
Burton at made claim against the con-
pany, alleging that he had suffered great injury
and all through the negligence of the company
After short time the railroad company effected a
settlement giving Burton $4,000 in full settlement
But i'll the course of time the railroad company
heard some nasty rumors, and one of these was to
the effect that Burton did not get injured at all
but instead received the bruises by being mixed up
i'll fight in Denver day or two previous to his
starting on the journey for the east.
The company presented these facts to the grand
jury which was in session i'll Boston, the result
being that a true bill returned against Burton
charging him with obtaining money under false
pretenses.
Burton went to Boston and furnished bonds
for his appearance at the required time. His sure
ties were furnished by Day and Dean, two wealthy
of the Hub city.
On August 7, Burton left for Boston, having
been called there by his bondsmen. No
sooner had he arrived than his bondsmen surren-
dered him, and upon failing to furnish sureties
he was lodged in Jail.
The article which appeared in the Boston Her
aid stated the would be called for trial some
time this month"; but the exact date is not known
great many of the people of this district will
be surprised to read the foregoing. Many were led
to believe that this had been settled. Some
time ago an article appeared in the Gazette of this
city to the effect that Burton had been tried before
a jury of his peers and had been duly acquitted.
1t is stated that this article was written by
Burtons attorney, who has been representing him
in the Kokomo- Pioneer troubles.

result being that he struck on the side of his head

where Eveland had fallen.
Upon looking in the pool Mr. Strang saw the
body lying at the bottom He waited no longer
but jumped in clothes and all. He dived to the
bottom and when he came to the surface he had

little difficulty Eveand lifted to the platform,

meantime the man vigorously rubbed
Eveland was found to be unhurt save for few
brushes.
Mr.. Strang suffered the ruination of a suit
of clothes, but remained satisfied with the
feeling that he had been instrumental in saving

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Supreme Bench Decides Case Against
S. c. Manchester.

The law court has sent down a de-
cision in favor of the plaintiff in the
case of the Granite National Bank
against S. G.. Manchester and others
which was tried at the March term
1901. of the supreme judicial court in
this county.
The action was brought to recover
on certain promissory notes alleged to
have been signed by J. r. Manchester
and his wife, S. c. Manchester, both OF
Augusta, given to s. 5. Brooks & Co.
and Endorsed by the INTO the Granite
National Bank. s. c. Manchester de-
MED that she ever signed the notes
The jury rendered verdict in favor
of the plaintiff for the full amount
claimed, the defendants carried the
case to the law court, and a reScript
has been received, sustaining the YER
dict. Judgment rendered for $1S13S2
Leslie c. Cornish. ESQ. was counsel
for plaintiff and f. w. Whitehouse
Esq, for defendants.
The rescript. which was drawn by
Justice Powers. is as follows:
! The case presented a single issue
of fact, whether the defendant, S. G.
Manchester, signed the Notes in suit
Upon this issue the evidence at the
trial was conflicting and did not Sc
clearly prepcnderate in favor of the
defendant as to justify the court in
setting aside the verdict.
| The defendants are husband and
wife, whose relations appear to have
been friendly. and both of whom en-
ployed the same attorney. The case
hnf LONG before the trial the
ieyidence of the husband which is
claimed to be newly discovered, was
communicated by him to the common
lattorney with an offer to give his de-
position in the case. Such evidence
lis not newly discovered and due dill
gence would have insured its prOduc-
| ton at the trial.
| Motions overruled.

RIVER SUBSIDIES.
Notes of Interest Concerning the Re
cent Storm-Danser Point Passed.

Word was received from up the river
in the vicinity of Five Mile island, last
evening, that the ice had broken al
the foot of the island and come dowr
about three fourths of a mile where ii
was lodged near what is called Three
Mile point. 1t was still hanging al
this place and the, ice below seemed
to be all solid. The ice above the
island did not seem to promise to break
up at that time.
The highest point at which the wa
ter has stood on the Kennebec dam
since the recent storm was reached
about O'Clock yesterday afternoon
when it measured feet. 6 inches
From that time it gradually receded
and at o'clock, last evening, there
was but 6 feet, 8 inches.
AT O'Clock last evening. the water
was feet and 8 inches over the dam.
At one time during the early evening il
was S feet but it was only for short
time Then it leceded.
A small field of ice went down the
river slightly after o'clock, yesterday
afternoon. coming from some point
above the dam. Soon after a rise OF
foot was noted in the river below
the dam. 1t is thought that the ice
must have been piled up on the jam
at Browns Island and thus raised the
water. ..
All trains We're practically on time
yesterday. as they passed through this
city, the damage by the storm having
been repaired.
