TRIAL ON
Formidable Array Of Legal Talent
on Either Side in Now
Famous Case.
.5laF55g

The Shevlin trial is onin Mime
apolis and q. G. Shevlin makes
sensational claims against his
Thomas Ell. Shevlin, who
is II years his senior. There is
a formidable array Of talent on
either side. In brief. plaintiffs
answer claims that he has been
subselVient to, his brother since
he was a boy and has worked un-
der him and with him, trusting
him in everything and being to
him in the relationship OF son
rather than a brother He has
been, he claims, working in
every known capacity il the Ium-
Der business and finally held
positions Of trust il an official
capacity in no less2than three of
the companies in which the broth
ers had holdings.
Finally,a as the plaintiff claims
because Of the stress Of business
cares he developed the liquor
habit to an inordinate degree,
and became so much it's victim
that he became FRUSTRATED and.
was mentally incapable. While
in this condition the defendant
caused him to resign his position
as an officer in the companies
and finally brought him paper
to sign which was a release of all
his holdings in the several com
panies to his brother for what
the plaintiff terms nominal con-
sideration, much less than it's
real value, which the defendant.
at that time well knew.
Later still it is claimed, the
defendant secured the incarcera-.
ton Of theplaintiff in a sanitarium,
on the claim that he was insane,
and the plaintiff only secured re-
lease through ha beas corpus pro
=ceedingssin the stateof New York,
where an effort was made to have
him confined a second time.

The Republican primaries in
the city Of Bemidji today re-
suited in a complete victory for
the Collins forces. Collins dele
cations were elected from both
wards in the city.
The defeat of the Dunn forces
in the Second ward was decisive
and in the First ward it was
closer but is nevertheless con
sidered a big Collins victory for
the reason that the local Collins
men have never made any claims
of great strength in that section
Of the city.
The primaries were without
question the most interestering
ever held in the city. Interest
at polls was intense and the re-
suit was quite as much surprise
to the Collins men as it was to
the Dunn men.

Work of Paris Town Meeting.

As most of our subscribers, except
those living in the towns of Paris and
NORWAY. last week received an edition of
the Democrat in which the report of the
Paris town meeting was closed with the
forenoon session, we give summary OF
the business transacted at the afternoon
session.
This session was two hours and a half
in length, and every article of the re-
manning twelve in the warrant provoked
more or less diScuSSiOn-morei in most
cases, especially the case of the sewer.
Appropriations were made of the fol-
lowing sums:
Tocomplete road nearJ a lsturteyaut'5,- 800 90
For state road, zuOO
Deficiency IN common school appropria.
ton for past year, --.------- 5OOOu
To repair Bolster sch iol house, 10000
sewer from Market squar' e. river, ------- 6OOOO
The legacy of Clementiue A. Cushman,
of $500 for the care of her cemetery lot
on Paris Hill, was accepted, with the
provision that interest should be allowed
at three per cent.
Voted that the town accept the prop
erty of Edwin Richardson toward his
support, and the Selectmen were au-
thorized to convey it.
Similar action was taken in the case of
the property of George G. Fuller.
1t was voted to maintain schools dur
ing the coming year in the Tubbs, Whit
temOre, BiScoe, Hollow and Bolster
school houses, and not to maintain a
school in the Shows Falls school house.
The only school in the list which caused
extended discussion was that in the
Bolster house. This has been bone of
contention for several years, Some OF
the residents of the district want a
school, while others prefer to have their
scholars transported to South Paris. \
school was finally voted, and 5000 was
raised TO put the school house in cOndi-
ton To use.
The most exciting question of the day,
and the only one on which the house was
polled, was the question of a sewer from
Market Square TO the river. The vote on
this was 70 in favor of passing over the
article, and l3l opposed. Six hundred
dollars was raised To build it.
The article regarding the drainage of
Western Avenue was passed over.
