The Lewiston Journal, while sttribu-
ting the defeat of Sheriff Cummings In
Androscoggin county TO opposition TO
rigid enforcement, has a different ex-
PLANTATION OF the situation In Oxford
county, In part as follows; upon a
careful snalysis of the vote in the diff
ferent towns and study Of the local
factors which were responsible for the
result, there is no good basis for saying
that 1t was vote against enforcement
and that Oxford county which has al
WAYS been, with Franklin county, con-
sidered one Of the banner temperance
counties OF the state, has gone back on
her record. There has been for some
time a growing dissatisfaction In certain
towns in regard to some Of the deputies.
Whether any Just cause existed for this
dissatisfaction, is not for the writer TO
say. But many complaints and threats
have been made and 1t would seem that
finally this disafft ctionsm in the ranks
had broken out 10 open rebellion. 1t is
not rebellion against the enforcement of
the law In the main, although with some
who bolted this may have been the
reason, but in many cases personal grie-
vances and personal likes and dslikes,
have operated TO cause the bolt"

WITH BRAND NEW SCHEME

A smooth individual. who evidently does
not live alone on what he can make by
grating and who must have side line
in order to make a profitable income,
has worked the various railroad clerks
some in Wichita and others in towns sur
roundig here by a brand new scheme.
His plan is to approach a ticket clerk
and without making any bones" what
ever about it, throws down a trunk check
and asks the clerk for a ticket to some
nearby station. Thus far il is said that
the plan has not failed to work. One
ticket agent in Wichita found out yes
terday two hours after he had made a
loan on a trunk check that he had been
done, but it was too late to catch the
man and secure the amount of the ticket.
After securing a ticket on the baggage
check as collateral, the man takes his
little journey and appears at the bag
gage room OF the next station with the
talk that he has lost his check and would
like to get his baggage. After describ-
ing the contents of said trunk the agent
always unhesitatingly turns the property
over to the owner without further ques-
tons.

he was thrown violently forward onto the
rails. and as a result. his nose was
broken and he sustained other injuries.

gence of the company.
