BURBERRY PICKERS' FIRE

one time it was feared the wind would

the section are largely farmers, pros
porous and well-to-do in the world,
with comfortable homes. who are ex-
crting themselves to their utmost to
protect their property.
How the fire originated is as much
n mystery as the fire of last year. but
it is thought that berry pickers who are
now frequenting the pastures near the
grist mill are responsible. Some claim
that they kindled a fire on the land to
warm drink for dinner. and went away
leaving, the names smOuldering.

Lincoln Held for Trial.

Lincoln, Me-, Aug. 11.-Smith j..
Robbins who was arrested, Tuesday,
by State Detective r. Z. Hartnett and
Post Office Inspector c. |. Jennings,
upon suspicion of being the prosecutor
of Eli Pinkham, was arraigned at the
preliminary hearing held here, Wedncs-
day.
For the accommodation of the inn
mense crowd which was pres mt to hear
the trial, Trial Justice Weatherbce adj
jOurned the court to Odd Fellows hall,
wht re the trial was held.
Robbins was arraigned on the charge
of having posted the notices which
were found posted on Ballard Hill, near
the railroad crossing on the South Lin
coin road and one other place Oh the
night of July 81.
Robbins was the coolest man in the
court room throughout the whole trial.
He acted as his own counsel and con-
| Quoted his own case in a manner which
showed very plainly that he realized
| the position that he was in. He entered
Il plea OF mot guilty" in cool had
tone and presented his side of the case
Ill TIE SatiIie IlttlIler.
/ The States evidence was that on the
morning of July 81 between and 2
o'clock Robbins drove through town
with gray horse htched to Bangor
| buggy i'm which was himself and lady
and that it was at that time and nv
him that the notices were posted Wit
nesses were introduced who testified ia
seeing Robbins drive through the town
at the time named.
| But the climax came when Miss Car.
RE Robbins, daughter of the defendant
| was put OH the stand. Miss Robbins
! testified that on the night of the 31st
| her father started from home at about
O'Clock and came around Lincoln Cen
ter over Ballard Hill down to the South
Lincoln road, which was on the very
route on which the notices were post.
ed She also testified that her father
had got out on Ballard Hill and at tn,
crossing on the South Lincoln road
| This closed the evidence for the State
| Robbins was then allowed to take the
stand and said that he was entirely in.
noccnt Of the charge against him II.
admitted that he was on the road tn,
night in question and the reason was
because he thought it would be coole,
to drive by night than by day, and as
he had to drive his daughter to How.
land thought it would be easier for hin
to do so by night than in the day time
He also admitted that he had got Oui
of the team as his daughter had testi.
| fled, but that he had n reasonable ex.
cusc for doing so. He denied all knOwl-
edge of any notices that were writer
and said he was perfectly innocent OF
any wrong doing whatever.
Although Robbins told pretty
| straight story there were times that
he testified and contradicted himself.
Trial Justice Wcatherbee found prob
able cause and bound Robbins over t.
the February term of court and fixed
his bond at $1,000. which Robbins was
unable to obtain. He was taken to Ban
gor by the officers, Wednesday after
| noon.

chamber window his fall pig play1nc
golf on his neighbor's lawn. To think
with him was to act, SO calling his
young son to play half-bach. he donned
his last years rainy-weather pants Sc
lccting a good club, and like the Ro.
mans of old he sailed into the arena
and gave battle.
The pig saw his enemy approaching
and thinking no doubt that discretion
was the better part of valor struck ont
