Decides Auto Case.

The supreme court has affirmed the
decision of Judge Bollinger i'll the 5.
NJ. Reynolds VS.. John W. Buck case.
Mr.. Reynolds sued for $4,000 damages
for alleged injuries received in an au-
tomObile collision which occurred on
the day of the Elks' floral parade in
1908. Mr.. Reynolds horse grew
frightened at one of the autos near the
monument on Main street and in run
ming away threw Mr.. Reynolds TO the
pavement, injuring him severely. In
the trial the defense showed that Emil
Buck, in no way connected with the
firm, had been acting as the chauffeur
on the occasion and therefore the de
Tense claimed that John w Buck could
not be held liable, since the young man
was not the agent of his father. The
court took the case away from the
jury and found for the defendant. This
decision the supreme court now af-
firms.

Spring Birds at Islesboro.

Miss Alice Pendleton writes to the Ban
gor Daily News under date of March 23d !:
"March 14th one song sparrow and four
robins were seen; March 18th every apple
tree that bore a bit of the forbidden fruit
was occupied by robins. They had come in
large numbers. March Goth one had to
walk but a short distance before finding
song sparrOws. The spruces not far from
the house were merry all day with the
song of this bird. I also noticed the JimeO
that hardy bird-which had just put in
its spring appearance with the song spar
row. Off in the distance heard this same
date the blue bird song but could not
follow it, as the snow was too deep. While
standing near some juniper trees large
number of red polls, several hundred, l
should say, lighted, and began feeding on
the juniper berries. AS the sun touched
them their little ruby caps seemed brighter
than any l had ever seen. Very likely they
were feeding up for their journey farther
north.
"The woods have been so quiet all win
ter. even the crow has had nothing to say,
that it seems good to get out and note the
harbingers of spring. The chicadee is
wide awake now and his call is as merry as
any one of the birds.
"Last Saturday, too, flock of wild geese
went over, and today much larger flock,
flying low, was seen. There are SO many
things to be seen on a walk l received a
big lecture from a squirrel. He sat on the
end of some piled up fence poles, while the
madame sat back in the rear, daintily
lunching on crust of snow. 1t was funny
how he scolded until began to whistle,
when he became quite friendly"
