Aroostook County Rescript.

Alice NJ. Currer VS.. Robert H. Mckee.
Rescript, by Powers, J.
The law looks to the proXimate and
not the remote cause of an injury; but
if the original act was wrongful and
would naturally according to the Ordi-
nary course Of human events prove in
furious to some person or persons, and
does actually result in injury through
the intervention of other causes which
are not wrongful, the injury is referred
tn the wrongful cause passing by those
which are innocent.
1t Is not the lawful but the wrongful
or negligent act Of a third party inter-
vening, which breaks the chain of
causation and relieves the original
wrongdocr of the consequences Of his
wrongful act.
A person is responsible for such
consequences of his act as ought to
have been apprehcndcd according to
the usual experience Of mankind.
Whether one who lets loose such a
dangerous agent as intoxicating liquor,
is not hourd to apprehend that the in
toxication thereby produced is likely
to cause unjusti.iable assaults and
a question Of fact for the jury.
In an action under r.. S. c. 90 Par.
IS there was evidence tending to prove
that the defendant sold Intoxicating
liquor to the plaintiffs son whom she
was in part dependant for her support.
that the liquor caused or contributed
to his intoxication. that such intoxi-
cation caused him to make upon one
f., by whom in self defence he was
struck ana his jaw broken. resulting
in his decreased ability to labor and
consequent injury to the plaintiffs
means Of support.
Held, that if these issues are found
in the affirmative and the jury also
finds that the defendant ought to have
apprehended the resulting injury TO
the son, the injury to the plaintiffs
means Of support would then be by
reason of the intoxication Of the son,
and the defendant would be liable
therefor.
Exceptions sustained.

ASSASSINATION OF DR. BENJAMIN LABAREE IS BEING iNVESTI- GATED, BUT NOTHING FURTHER GAN BE LEARNED.

 Doubt Is felt as to whether the mission ary slain was Dr. Benjamin Labaree the father or the Rev. Benjamin W. Labaree the son. An Associated Press dispatch said that 1t was pr. Labaree who had been killed, but the advanced years of the elder 'Labaree have made 1t impracticable for him to be out much among the villages, whereas the son Is frequently engaged in such work, and the last letter received from him, dated February 10, said that he was about to leave for a visit among the villages to the south of Uramia.
