THE WEATHER REPORT.

The weather this morning is largely
dominated by an area Of high pressure
that stretches from the upper lake
region TO the New Jersey coast in con-
ncction with a shallow depression that
has persisted for several days over the
southern Rocky mountain region. This
combination has caused rain in Arkan-
sas Oklahoma and southwestern Mis-
souri, and sleet or snow in scattered To-
calities in the Missouri valley and eX-
treme southern Illinois. West Of the
Rocky mountains light scattered rains
have fallen. due TO an irregular depres-
sion that occupies that territory
The temperature has fallen sharply in
New England and the Middle Atlantic
states. and risen somewhat in the upper
Missouri valley.
For tonight and Saturday snow is
probable IN the Ohio valley and rain in
the lower Mississippi valley. Snow is in
dicated for the southern portion of the
Middle Atlantic States Saturday.
The temperature changes will be gem
orally small and unimportant

miners outside, headed by Superinten-
dent James Ward. made a rush to en-
ter the mines to rescue their comrades.
The passages were filed with gases,
however. and the rescuers were driven
back. gasping for air
The giant fan which furnishes air for
the shaft had been partially wrecked by
the explosion. and nothing could be done
until it was repaired. 1t was an hour
before this could be done and a current
OF fresh air driven into the mine. Then
Superintendent Ward led the rescuers
into the mine
The first trip out brought ten victims

10 the report OF the case, David d.
Stewart against Cyrus [. Barker, pub
lished last week, were several errors.
The plant Fl introduced the letters of
the defendant and three other bondhold-
ers living in LIE vision, holding bonds
and coupons amounting to about s60,-
900 90, asking to be allowed to become
parties to suit In equity brought by
the plaintiff for the town OF Arson and
other bondbolders, 10 enforce similar
bonds. We had no previous scquain-
lance with the defendant, Barker. They
were admitted as parties by order OF
Court. At certain stage of the pro-
ceedings all these boudhC lders were
| ffered, by way of compromise, $4,000
per share for the bonds, being their face
value without interest. The town of
Arson and all the other bondholders, ex-
cept the defendant and the three Lewis
ton gentlemen, favored accepting the
offer. They refused, and the defendant,
Barker, peremptorily directed the plair-
tiff to proceed with the suits to recover
the bonds and interest.
The cases were twice argued 10 the
Supreme Court of Maine, and finally
carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States at the request of the de-
tendant, and the other three Lewiston
bondholders who furnished the sole Sc
curity for that purpose. The final re-
suit was the Court held he bondhoders

the whole expenses, including moneys
paid out, upwards of $4,000; covering
more than fifteen years.

holders, including one of the Lewiston
party, In proportion to the amount OF

cattle show and fair and to approve the
awards and bills pertaining to same. A
vote was passed ordering the payment
of all awards and of such bills as had

Wednesday and Thursday, September
II. Is and 10. IL WAS voted that, as
soon as all the bills of the fair of 1906

them on their success and to thank them

which they have devoted to the society's
interests which In the end rebound to
the benefit OF every inhabitant of Som
erset county. One who has not served
through the preparation and conduct of
similar enterprise casnot appreciate
the amount OF work involved nor the
personal sacrifices which those who are
willing to undertake it are called upon
to make. The Somerset Central Society,
this community and the entire county
will be very fortunate if the same gen
tlemen who consented 10 take charge OF
affairs during the past year will serve
for the year OF 1907.

=. K Viles and A. K. Jewett arrived
home from brief bunting trip. Tues.
day, the journey to Dead RIVER and re-
turn having been accomplished on their
motorcycles. They had very enjoyab e
outing but captured no deer. A few
small ones were seen but it was when
they were on their homeward journey
and under circumstances when it did
not seem worth while to follow them up.

passed few days early IN the week, at
NJ l.. McKinney's camp, on the line of
the Somerset extension and were fairly
successful In their shooting Mr.. Nc
Kinney, who had been in that vicinity
for the past three weeks, returned here
with them
Messrs &c w Cover and F. A Ben
ner are at the Bald Mountain Sporting
Camps at Moxie Pond. Up to Tuesday
morning each had shot one deer and
they proposed to continue their hunting
for the rest Of the week. c. c. Tozer
has been on his annual trip to Moscow,
where he had such good success last
year, but got no game larger than par.
trldges this time. A former resident oil
this place, Louis A. Anderson of Provi
dence, r. l. passed last week in the
Dead River region and returned homt
with two deer.
w. Fl eston aud Elmer Harris, ac
companied by their wives, are passing
the week at Pleasant Pond, occupying

The general impression of Skowhegar
sportsmen seems to be that game is ne
as plenty as in past seasons.
