Sumner Farmers Get Is Per Cent.

Ii will be remembered that early in
December one p. A. Berry of Biddeford
bought several yoke of oxen in Sumner
and one yoke in Hartford, paying in
checks which proved TO be worthless;
and that Immediately after taking the
car load of cattle to Massachusetts, he
filed a petition in bankruptcy. The
Sumner and Hartford parties, whose
claims amounted to sl103, engaged Hon.
James S. Wright of South Paris to rep
resent them. No account was made in
the bankruptcy petition of the car load
of cattle or any money received for them.
This Berry explained at the hearing by
stating that a creditor of his threatened
to attach the cattle, and to avoid it he
turned them over to the creditor to salts
fy the debt. 1t appeared that there was
very little of any value in the estate, and
Berry's attorneys offered 10 per cent in
settlement of the Sumner claims. This
offer was not considered, but negotia-
tions have since been carried on which
finally resulted in an offer of IS cents on
the dollar. This has been accepted, and
the money will be paid, if it has not al
ready been done, so the farmers who
sold the cattle, instead of losing the
whole amount, will lose only twenty-five
per cent plus the trouble and expense
they have been put to.

Here and There.

The daily crop of peace-and-war
rumOrs, contradictions and canards re-
garding the situation between Russia
and Japan was terminated last Monday
by the announcement of the sever
ing of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries; and few
hours later hOStilitieS actually began on
the water with results decidedly un-
favorable TO Russia. While the United
States will maintain a strictly neutral
position, it is unquestionable that Japan
has vastly more sympathy among our
people than Russia has. But purely
from the standpoint of our own material
interests, it is not so much the outcome
of this contest that concerns us, as it is
whether other European nations, or even
the United States, may not eventually be
drawn in. There are problems to be
solved in Asia that this clash of arms
may not settle. Whatever arises, We
have every reason to believe that as long
as John Hay is at the head of the De-
partment of State, American interests
will be looked after with the utmost
zeal and aStuteness.
