Deputy Sheriffs Tucker, Bassett and
Cross were quickly on the scene and
stepped in to arrest the two men. This
caused more excitement than the begin
ming of the row. Bisbee objected to
being arrested, and particularly to being
handcuffed, and fought like tiger. He
had lot of sympathizers in the crowd,
and before quiet was restored the officers
had hard time, and Sheriff Bassett was
roughly handled. On the advice of
friends Bisbee finally submitted, and in
the Norway Municipal Court he answer
ed to the charge of resisting the officer,
and took an appeal to the October term
of Supreme Judicial Court. Incidentally
there was considerable profanity used,
and a wordy war to accompany the
personal encounters. The war of words,
indeed, ragged far beyond the borders of
the fair grounds, and into the quiet of
evening hours.
THE ANNUAL MEETING.
The annual meeting of the Oxford
County Agricultural Society was called
to order by President William j. Wheel
er at o'clock Thursday afternoon. Mr..
Wheeler stated that the principal bust
ness of the meeting was to choose a
president, two trustees and secretary
and treasurer.
The choice of president being taken
up, Hon. James S. Wright moved that
the secretary cast the ballot of the So
ciety for William J. Wheeler, whose
term now expires. The motion was car
ried and Mr.. Wheeler was declared
elected.
For trustee to succeed E. E. Andrews
of Norway, II. E. Hammond, stating that
he understood Mr.. Andrews declined to
be candidate for reelection, nominated
T.. P. Richardson of Norway, and moved
that the secretary cast the vote of the
society for him, which was done.
For trustee to succeed w. o. Froth.
ingham of Paris, Mr.. Wright cast one
ballot for r. l.. Cummings of Paris, an
nouncing the fact. No one else voted,
and Mr.. Cummings was declared elected
The next officer to be chosen was sec.
rotary and treasurer. Mr.. Wright, with
complimentary allusion to Mr.. Kings
efficient service, went forward and cast
one ballot for A. c. T. King, the present
incumbent of the office. No other vote
was cast, and Mr.. King was declared
elected.
At this point Mr.. King arose, and
thanking the members for the election
said briefly that he had been in the posi-
ton long time, and that he felt that he
must decline to continue in it.
Mr.. Wright urged that Mr.. King re-
consider his decision, and spoke in ap'
preciative terms of the excellent service
that Mr.. King had rendered during a
long term of years. His remarks were
fully seconded by H. Z. Hammond, who
also urged that Mr.. King reconsider.
Mr.. King more fully expressed his ap
probation of the compliments to his
work, but held to his decision not to &C
cept reelection.
A sort of informal recess was then
taken for few minutes, while the mem
bers canvassed the situation. When
