that tie horses We're given oats only
and upon arriving home that night one
of them was taken sick with the collie
and later died.
The plaintiff alleges that the change
from corn and oats to oats alone was
responsible for the horses death and
that the defendant insisted that the
horses be fed. The defense was that
Wilson simply offered to feed them and
that there was no compulsion about it.
AS result this suit was brought for
the value of the horse.

tiff lives in Canaan. He had a young

his place to Pittsfield. One day last
June while thus employed the team
came to a stop opposite the home of
the defendant, who is a veterinary
surgeon.
Mr.. Winslow asked the driver what
was the matter. He replied the team
was tired. Winslow said the horses
needed feeding and upon the boy
stating that he had no feed with him
offered to let the horses be taken into
his own stable where they might be fed.
Then it developed that the horses We're

The New York express train came near
causing serious if not fatal accident
Tuesday night. Pretzman Gale was COM
ing down from High street hill with n
load of logs and struck a strip of bare
ground near the Maine Central crossing.
He succeeded in getting the sled partly
over the railroad track. The New Yer,
train, which was overdue and which
makes no stop here, was swiftly ap-
preaching. Gale hardly seemed to realize
the danger. for he sprang from his seat
and took the horses by their heads. Mr..
Baker signalled the train and it slowed
down sufficiently to break the force OF
the blow which struck the load. although
the engineer was unable to bring the
train to stop. The sled was lifted clear
of the rails and slightly damaged, but
neither the boy nor the horses were in
jured. The train came to a stop in front
of the station.

GARDINER.
DEPUTY CLIFFORD LEAVES.
Goes 10 Rumford FaIls-His Successor
Is Not Known.

From all that could be learned yes
to-day, it seems that Gardiner has
something new in the way of a deputy
enforcement commissioner. Deputy
Clifford, who has been on duty here
snce last summer, left yesterday for
L.umford Falls. Whether or not he will
return to Gardiner is uncertain, yet il
is generally thought that he will not
come back. Before going, he said to
Judge Larrabee: Wien you hear
from me again l may be in Rumford
Falls and | may be somewhere else"
From this it seems that Mr.. Clifford
may have some doubt regarding his
future movements.
When train No. II, due here at 200
o'clock arrived yesterday Deputy Tib-
belts from Augusta was at the sta
tion. 1t seemed apparent then that
he had been assigned to the place va
Gated by Deputy Clifford, but this sur
mise could not be confirmed. Mar
shall Andrews asked Mr.. Tibbetts how
long he thought Mr.. Clifford would be
gene and he replied that he did not
know.
Deputy Clifford and Officer Connor
searched the place conducted by John
l.. Stuart in Randolph for intoxicat
ing liquor. Nothing contraband was
found.
John Thompson appeared in the po-
lice court yesterday on charge of in
toxication. He went to Augusta for
80 days. t,-.e
More of the keys stolen from Mr..
Hazard were returned to Marshal An
drews yesterday, and it is believed that
but few are now missing.
