SOUTH PARIS 9; WEST PARIS 1.

South Paris again proved too much for
West Paris at West Paris Saturday after
noon, winning rather easily. South
Paris won by hard batting, and although
they were charged with seven errors,
only the two which were made in the
first inning developed into runs. Al
though the others combined with hits
put them in several bad holes, they were
always able to pull themselves out with

South Paris started the game by scor-

Shaw, Pike and Monk, and Berry reach
ing first on Brooks error. West Paris
also made its only run in this inning on
errors by Fifield and Monk and bases on
balls to Briggs and Radcliffe.
Although South Paris had men on
bases in nearly every inning, they did
not score again until the seventh, when
Wheeler, the. first man up, hit for two
bases, Shaw and Pike each following
with a single.
Again in the ninth Wheeler was the
first man up, and was hit by a pitched
ball, and although Shaw, Pike and Berry
each followed with single, only one
run came in, owing to poor base run.

There were perhaps no feature plays

although he forced in West Paris only
run, it was evident that the umpire's
eyesight was rather poor. He struck
out seven men and allowed only five

well, Pike leading with four hits out OF

An Unusual Bankruptcv Case,

A case with some unusual features
has recently been settled in the bank
ruptcy court. This was the case of the
Rumford Falls Publishing Co., which
was forced into bankruptcy by the dis.
honesty and disappearance of its treas
urer. The final dividend paid was A. SO
per cent; making the total dividends
paid 91.36 per cent. So large percent
age is remarkable, and the referee in
bankruptcy for Oxford County, Hon.
Geo. A. Wilson, and the trustee in this
case, Ralph T. Parker, ESQ.,, take con-
siderable pride in the results accom-
plished. 800
Since the passage of the bankruptcy
law there have been in Oxford County
about 200 cases in which the relief
afforded by the law has been sought.
These represent total indebtedness of
about 100000. Assets are generally
very small, and in many cases insignifi-
cant, the case cited above furnishing
more assets than all the rest combined.
The weekly Rumford Falls Times,
published by the corporation named, is
now published by new company, and
has been issued without interruption.
