Municipal Court.

In the Municipal Court, Friday, James
Galway appeared to claim the liquor con-
signed to him, which had been seized ten
days before, but failed to satisfy the
court that it was intended for legitimate
purposes. The liquor was condemned,
as were also the goods seized on the
premises OF N. B. Mullen.
Three offenders were brought into
court Monday morning to answer to the
charge of drunkenness and breach Of the
peace. The respondents were John
Conway, Fred Donahue and Miss Bertha
Lane. The complaints were made by
officer W. r. Clifford, who made the
arrest Sunday night, with the assistance
of officers Weston and Dunlap. The
attention Of the officers was called by
sharp cries from the apartments of
Marcus Moore, In the second story of
the j. D. Symons block on Water street
and on investigation the three respond
ents were found engaged in drunken
quarrel. The bed and furniture were
stained with blood and both men were
bleeding profusely around the face and
head.
At the trial plea Of guilty was enter
ed 10 each case. Donahue and Conway
each received a sentence of thirty days
In Jail and in addition fine of $40 and
costs. Miss Lane, in view of extenuat-
ing circumstances which the hearing
disclosed, was discharged. Donahue's
sentence was subsequently mitigated
and he was discharged on payment of
the fine and costs.
Henry r. Wright, of whom Conway
stated he purchased the liquor, was ar
rested on a warrant charging him with a
single sale. At the hearing he pleaded
guilty and received the full penalty of
the law, thirty days in Jail and fine of
$50 and costs, with an additional pen
atty OF thirty days In default of payment.

Lakewood Notes.

Owing to the rain there was no enter
tainment In the theater, Friday or Sat-
urdsy evenings.
Next Sunday we are to have Halls
Military Band OF Waterville with us,
who will give frequent concerts through
out the entire afternoon. An excursion
over the Maine Central R. r. will run
from Waterville.
The production Of "Little Wild Cat"
at the theater, this week, has been at
tended by unusually good audiences
considering the weather. The piece has
been received with much favor, and Miss
Rice, Mr.. and Mrs. McCord and Mr..
Malcolm have characters highly anus
Ing to the audience. In the first act
Miss Rice as "Little Wild Catn is seen
in the best comedy part yet assigned to
her and she acts the character to per-
lection.
For the third week Of their engage
ment the Lakewood Stock Co. will offer
the intensely interesting and stirring
melo-drama In four acts, the "Gold
King" Mr.. Neil Twomey, who has en-
deared himself to the patrons Of this
popular place, will play the part of the
Gold King. The part will give him a
better opportunity to display his talents
than any Of the preceding ones. Miss
Winter will as always have the leading
female role and will have a very sweet
sympathetic role. Dainty, ovial, jolly
Blanche Rice Is cast for the part Of Tom
Ellis and great things will be expected
from her, she Is certainly one of the
cleverest little bodies that has ever ap-
peared In this vicinity. Mr.. Malcolm,
of whose work there need be no COM
ment as he established himself a firm
favorite by bis exceedingly good work
last season, will play an old country
squire, such a part as he Is particularly
strong In. Messrs. Boane, Hilton, King
and Stafford will all have strong roles.
The comedy element Of the drama will
be taken by Mr.. and Mrs. McCord and
many hearty laughs can be expected.
Mr.. McCord plays the part of Dan Nc
Ginty, half brother to the famous Dan
who went to the bottom of the sea.
Mrs. McCord will be his sweetheart,
Biddy Roman, and their antics and the
situations they both get into, especially
the one In the prison scene In which
they assist in the escape of one of the
prisoners, Is one Of the funniest bits of
character comedy work on the stage.
