Augusta, April %.
1t took the jury in the Kennebec
county superior court nearly six hours,
Tuesday, to return a verdict for the
plaintiff, with nominal damages as
sessed ut one cent in the case of John
O. +. Johnson of Boston, against Les
lie w. Folsom of Augusta, on action
of replevin to determine who owned
the real title to the stallion Sun
I Pointer, who was sired by the famous
Star Pointer The jury reported mo
to the special finding on the follow
ing question: Did the defendant take
the horse from Massachusetts to Maine
with the knowledge and consent of the
plaintiff or Barrett in his behalf?"
The case went to the jury at 1850
A. NJ, and after calling once for in
structions that body reported at 4.40
+. NJ. Dinner was served in the jury
room. 1t is understood that but five
ballots were taken and that on the first
ballot four of the members of the panel
were in favor of d verdict for the de-
PENDANT and eight for the plaintiff. On
the fourth ballot but one of the jury
men was in favor of a verdict for the
defence. Counsel for the defence filed
exceptions and stated that they would
carry the case to the law court on the
ground that the verdict was contrary
to the law and evidence.
The trial lasted four days, and not

engrossed the attention of a kennebec
county jury. The finest points of juris-
prudence and some of the most en-
inent authorities on legal lore were
cited by the lawyers for either side.
This trial is the seventh on the horse
and it now looks, if the counsel of the
defence concludes not to carry the mat
ter to a higher tribunal, that the end
is not yet.
In brief, sthe action was one in re-
plevin to obtain possession Of Sun
Pointer while the defendant contended
that he had lien on the stallion on
account of nom payment of board by
the plaintiff.
William r. Buckminister, Esq, of
Boston. and Williamson & Burleigh of
Augusta, appeared for the plaintiff, and

Judge Hall charged the jury in the
case Of Johnson vs.. Folsom in part as
follows:
This case is unique even in the his
tory of horse cases. These parties and
other parties have been involved in
law suits about the animal or his keep
ing in this state and Massachusetts
for several years. And you are now
to decide which of the parties here had
the better right to the possession of
the animal at the date of the writ.

Big Forest Fire Prevailing at EIlIiotts
vile, in Piscataquis.

John Calvin Stevens of Portland, the
architect in charge of the repairs to be
made on the south wing of the State
House. was in the city, yesterday. AS
is well known. the greater part of the
old library room, above the council
chamber. in this wing, has long been
used by the board of State assessors,
and for the past two years Labor Com
missioner Matthews and his assistants
have occupied the other portion of the
toor.
In making the plans Mr.. Stevens
must know how to arrange this floor,
and the question of it's future occu-
pancy is now being considered oy
Colonel Stevens, the superintendent.
The State assessors have asked that
the entire floor be given to them SO
that they have sufficient room in Wnlch
TO perform their labors. Mr.. Mat
theWS has also requested that part OF
the space be given to his bureau of in
dustrial and labor statistics. Colonel
Stevens has referred these requests to
the Governor and council, or rather to
the committee on public buildings, ri
which Councillors Prescott, Walton and
Haines are the members. At the COM
ing session, May s, the matter VIII be
taken up and settled in some way.
Colonel Stevens is at loss where to
locate the labor bureau during the re-
pairs. The only room available is No
Z. in the basement, but this room is
damp, even in the summer time, and 1T
is rot regarded as a comfortable or
healthy place in which to work. At all
events, Mr.. Matthews is 1esirous Of Sc
curing some room which shall be
pleasanter and more convenient than
this room will be. He is also anxious
to have some apartment assigned to
his bureau which shall be permanent,
so that he won't be obliged to pack up
and move every little while, as he has
been obliged to do semi
in the PAST.
In the present crowded condition Of
the Capitol building, however, Colonel
Stevens finds it extremely difficult to
satisfy all demands for extra o'hce
space which are being constantly made
upon him. He would like TO give
every department all the room desired,
but with the present floor space at his
disposal he cannot always do this.

WARNING.
Smallpox Patients Can Not be
Made a Charge on The
County.

Judge 4. f. Vinson calls atten-
ton TO the law covering the rela-
ton of the county to smallpox and
warns tho people and physicians
that they must not expect the
county to foot the bills. We have
a Board OF Health who have pre-
scribed rules for the government Of
communities whore the disease
may mako lis appearance. They
viii quarantine when necessary,
and Will provide pest house for
strangers or those without friends
or relatives to care for them.
Tho statute provides that any
person having small poX and going
upon the highway or In any public
place shall be fined not less than
800 nor more than $1,000. A yellow
flag Is required to be hung out In
front of every house where small
pox exists. The county is not re-
quIred to furnish physician, and
Will notdo SO unless the patient is
not able to hire one.
Smallpox has cost this county
several thousand dollars In the
last few years, The Court will not
stand for it any longer. The law
places the burden OF caring for
the eases upon the persons who
contract the disease, and also re-
qulres them to do everything pos
sIblo to prevent its spread. Many
people seem to have the idea that
all these duties and burdens are
placed by law upon the county,
while just the opposite is true.
Smallpox is said to exist in al
the counties around us. Our citl-
zcns should take no chances on ex-
po, ure to the disease.
