We understand that the Gertrude q.
Merrill case is again source OF trouble
to those in high Office. Deputy Sher'h
Cross last week placed attachments on
the property of d. S. Sanborn and A;
p. Bassett in the sum of five thousand
dollars and made service on them for
their appearance at the April term OF
the Superior Court at Portland 10 an
swer the allegation of false imprison'
ment. 1t will be remembered that some
time since Sanborn, who was the chair
man of the board of overseers Of the poor,
assisted by Officer Bassett moved MRS.
Merrill from Mechanic Falls to her hus-
hands home in Norway village. The
outcome of the matter is this suit for
damages. Lewiston attorneys have the
case in hand. 1t is also reported that
snits will soon be instituted against the
town officers in the Richard +. Merrill
affair. The last matter is still fresh IN
the minds of the townspeople and the
suits will attract great attention, mas
much as Mr.. Merrill and daughter at the
time thew were taken to the town farm
were self-supporting, Merrill at work
in the shoe factory at from $40 to SlZ
