MAXIM WAS
NOT UNDER
GUARDIAN

Judge Tillinghast today handed down
the opinion OF the appellate court in the
case OF Providence County Savings bank
vs. Ann Hughes ct al. This is bill Of
interpleader 10 determine the conflicting
claims Of the respondents to the sum OF
ss72.s in the registry OF the court This
sum is the balance left after the fore
closure OF the mortgage on real estate in
Central Falls formerly owned by John
Maxim and Catherine Maxim.
Respondents are heirs in law Of the
former owners. The question raised was
whether John Maxim, who inherited the
property from Joseph Maxim was under
guardianship. On June %, 1890. John
Maxim decided all his right. title and inter
est in the property TO the respondent.
Ann Hughes. After that John died and II
he was under guardianship, IL Is claimed,
this deed TO Ann Hughes was void and
the balance all belongs TO Catherine
Maxim.
There was a petition presented to the
probate court OF Lincoln, Nov. a. 1883.
asking for the appointment OF william II.
Gooding as guardian OF John Maxim. The
latter was simply described as a person OF
fun age and incapable OF managing his
estate. The court appointed Mr. Gooding
Counsel for Ann Hughes contended that
as the decree or petition did not follow
the statute and show the petitioner was
an idiot. lunatc OF unsound mind or from
excessive drinking, gaming idleness or
debauchery of any kind or from want OF
discretion in the management OF his es-
tate shall be likely 20 become a public
charge or bring his family TO want there
was lack OF jurisdiction in the court TO
appoint guardian.
Judge Tillinghast on this point saws re-
ferring to Public Statutes chapter 1ss.
section Z: Under this statute Il would
seem clear that the Jurisdiction of a pro
bate court in the appointment OF guar
dian. Is limited to those cases where the
person sought to be put under guardian
ship. Is likely, for some one or more OF
the reasons therein named 70 bring him
self or family to want. or to render him
self or family chargeable And this being
so II follows that no case was stated In
the petition referred TO which warranted
the court in appointing a guardian.
And as IL appears that the decree
npon which the court passed was ex-
pressly based upon the ground set out |
In the petition. IL also follows that all
that the court found In the premises was |
that the petitioner was incompetent OF |
his estate. But that was not |
sufficient TO warrant the appointment OF |
n guardian.
Judge Tillinghast says that " the petit |
ton had been silent MS to the ground |
upon which a guardian was asked for. |
Il would be aided by prescriptions. but |
as II recites facts. and the facts recited |
are not sufficient TO give Jurisdiction. |
there can be no presumption that the re-
rital Is Incorrect or incomplete. The /
court holds. therefore. that john Maxim /
was not under guardianship when he
made the deed 10 Ann Hughes.

OF SIGHT

Caribou. Me-. March S.-Proof that the
its origin in Northern Maine was furnish
ed, when a guide came up from Tibodue
and affirmed that where old Bald Noun
tain had reared its rounded head for cen
turtles, only n newborn lake exists to
mark the spot
Bald mountain is-or was-situated In
the Tiboaue Valley. only few miles from
the New Brunswick line. not an imposing
mountain, to be sure. but rather a some
what conical-shaped hill, celebrated for
It's Inaccessible steep sides.
The natives who live where Bald noun
tain was say they always thought IL
little queer because at the base were boil
ing springs. so warm that one could not
put his hand in them in winter.
Near by is hill called Plaster Rock,
which furnishes plaster so good II is used
for building purposes. This was recently
analysed and found TO consist OF merely
melted rock and earth, and all this leads
to the belief now that Bald Mountain was
the cone OF a volcano, which when II
sank March 2l. caused what all New Eng
land called an earthquake.
Later a party OF woodsmen came in TO
say that the guides story is true. that
where the mountain formerly stood there
is now only muddy looking lake.
Caribou is town OF more than 400 pop
ulation. 1t Is situated on the Aroostook
river, a branch OF the st. John. The town
Is in the extreme northeastern part OF the
state. about ten miles from the Canadian
border.
Bald mountain was twenty-five miles di-
rectly north OF Caribou The gazeteers do
not state its height, but II was probably
not more than 1000 feet.
