Vigorous at 50.

The Democrat recently had a letter
from l.. T. Roberts of Greenwood, who,
although he is IS years of age, writes a
very legible hand, showing that ne still
guides the pen without any tremor OF
fingers. Mr.. Roberts was married when
20 years of age to Miss Mary Jane Virgin
of Rumford. They lived together
thirteen years and had three children,
son and two daughters. Four years after
the death of his first wife, he married
Miss Julia Bishop of Leeds, and theil
wears of married life numbered forty
one. They had one child, q son: Mr.
Roberts has lived to see the fourth gen
Grafton from both wives. His only chile
now living is Mrs. w. s. Starbird o
South Paris. At So he is, as he ex
presses it, "quite smart" which ma.
readily be inferred from the appearance
of his letter.

Ice cutting began on the field of A. W.
Walker & Son above the Park Street
bridge Thursday morning. By the use
of an engine the ice house at the bridge
was filed in about one days work.
Meanwhile Walkers teams were hauling
to fill the other house, and never-ceas-
ing stream of farmers and Others were
loading cakes for their own use, half
dozen teams being in line waiting their
turn most of the time. The ice is about
fifteen inches thick and of tirst-class
quality, and the roads were in as good
condition for hauling as could be desired.
The ice field was very lively place for
few days.
1t was perhaps not a unique experience
which two South Paris people had one
day last week, but it was striking-in
fact, it struck quite hard. A lady who
was out calling rang the bell at the house
of neighbor, and it was answered oy
the man of the house. who told her that
Mrs. Blank was out. AS she turned to
go down the steps she slipped on bi'
of ice, and made hasty descent to
sitting position on the walk. The mar
of the house, who had not got the dool
closed, seeing the accident FASTENED e
her assistance, when his feet struck thu
same bit of ice and shot out from unde
him, and in an instant he was seated be
side the caller on the walk. No injur,
to anybody, but good laugh all round

ing that on Saturday morning. Octo-
ber 10, 1903. at O'Clock he would
call the BerDalilo county civil docket
ana set all cases for trial or other
disposition. al attorneys interested
are requested to be present.
Yesterday afternoon w. G.. watson,
charged with larceny of tobacco from
the warehouse of j.. B. Putney, plead
ed guilty and stated to the court on
his plea for mercy, that his guilt was
not in the taking of the goods, but In
holding and trying TO dispose OF them
after he discovered they had been
stolen. He also stated that he hal
never before been In trouble OF this
kind, and that at different times he
had held positions of trust and honor
under the government. The court
stated, that upon the facts presented
and on account of his age. he would
make his sentence light and after
dwelling on the pernicious effect of
tobacco taken in such large quantities,
sentenced defendant to three months
Imprisonment In the county Jail, the
sentence to date from the time OF his
arrest, which would give defendant
about thirty days more TO serve.
This forenoon was taken up with
the case, Territory VS.. Adolfo Gale
gos." the defendant being charged
with assault with intent to murder.
The testimony showed that on the
night OF May 81, Richard Whltlock,
while In the state Of semi-intoxica-
ton, was struck IN the lower part OF
the head with a knife inaieting a
wound about an inch in length. Whit
lock had been seen IN company with
the defendant and one witness, seem
ingly intimidated, testified tnat &c
saw the defendant strike Whitlock
and that he took knife from the de-
fendant's hand. but he being the only
known eyewitness for the territory
having made conflicting statements
and the territory's failure to establish
without doubt the guilt o. the defen'
dant, the jury found the defendant not
guilty, after celebrating thirty min
utes.
