MAKE TEST CASE.
Action at Newport Relative to Pupils
Attending School.

Newport. Me-. May 19.-(SpeciaD.-
A case was tried here. Thursday after
noon. before Judge Stevens in the local
municipal court which will be some
thing of test case.
On complaint of David o. Trafton, I
constable and truant officer of the town
of Newport, Adelbert l.. Gray and John
e. Patten of North Newport, were
brought into court to answer to the
charge of violation of Sections 40 and
SO, CT Ipter Is. Revised Statutes. and
after listening to the case, Judge
Stevens found the respondents guilty
and imposed fines of IS and costs in
each case, frcm which appeals We're
taken.
|. The story Of the case is something
as follows: Gray and Patten are resi-
dents Of North Newport and each have
several children under age. which are
supposed to be in school. Up to with
| in the past spring term the scholars
have been attending school in what is
known as the Hubbard district, but
for certain reasons, the experimenting
school committee saw fit to change the
school from the Hubbard district to
the schoOlhouse in the Coburn district
and furnished transr ortation for the
pupils.
In court. the respondents side of the
case was that the wagon furnished
for the transporting of the scholars
was not fit for the purpose and that
no robes We're furnished for the pro-
lection of the scholars. which are of
tender age.
The respondents also claim that they
asked the school board to let the money
used for transportation purposes go
into the salary of teacher and that
they personally would make up the
remainder of the salary. providing the
school was held in the Hubbard dis
trict. as it has been i'm the past.
In court tho respondents were rep
resented by w. s. Townsend. while ].
NJ. SanbOrn. in his capacity as town
agent appeared against them. An
appeal was taken to the August term
of the supreme court to be held in
Bangor on the second Tuesday in Aug
ust.

Parts of Mans Body MutiIated in Ter.

Fairfield. Me-. May 19.-(SpeciaD.-
Minot Preblc. son of Mr.. William
Preble. was almost instantly killed,
this afternoon, at about 5 o'clock. At
the upper mill of the United Box
Board & Paper Co. on the Island.
Young Preble was employed in the
chiI tower. and was engaged in feed
ing the chips and other small stuff in
to the carrier. He was alone at the
time OF the accident, so it will probably
never Jbe known how he came to his
death, other than the fact that his
arm was caught in the cog gearing,
and he was carried into it, mutilating
some parts of the body III terrible
shape.
a fellow workman heard an unusual
noise in the tower, and went up to
see what the trouble was, where he
found the young man, and at that
time life was nearly extinct DR.. Rob-
inson was summoned. but could be of
no assistance. Coroner w. s. Simpson
was also summoned, and the remains
were taken to the undertaking rooms
Of Lawry Bros.
The young man was about II years
of age, and was well liked by his asSo-
ciates. 1t would seem that no blame
could be attached to the company.
Much sympathy is expressed to the
family
