SUIT OVER A HOUSE.
Man Who Did Not Want 10 Move Need
Not DO So at Prescnt.

Because one man wanted to get into a
house and another man did not want to
get out, there was a law suit yesterday
before Justice j. T. Stearns and as mat
tiers now stand the man who did not want
to get out will not have to. When county
court finishes with the case he may have
to get out, but he will be ready to go by
that time. in all probability.
The case was that of George h. and
Louise A, Beach VS. Isaiah Bordo. Some
months ago Bordo, by means Of verbal
lease with John Fallon. secured possession
of the premises at ~ Decatur street This
spring Mr.. Fallon sold the property to
the plaintiffs in the present case. They
wanted the house and so did Bordo. He
would not move out and they brought
suit. The case was tried by jury com
posed of II, \. Coon. l.. NJ. Barrows, j.
A, Kelley, G. S. Looms and A. r. St
Pierre. After some elaboration they re-
turned verdict for the defendant to re-
cover his costs. The case was appealed
to county court.

A TALK OF THE TIMES.

Il am n little Anarchist
m capitals worst foe.
If. moneycd tyran,s won't come down.
Wen send them up, you know.
For money is mighty thing
With Christian or with Turk;
But dynamite is mightier still,
Ard quicker In its worx.
My son, don't be n little fool,
You can't blow up the law;
| Twill tie n love knot tenderiy
Beneath your little jaw;
To dynamite in freedoms cause,
1t is n glorious thing,
But all the glory fades away.
When you have had your swing
Bring not your tmid wisdom here
Defiance To the laws
I've sworn and pledged both blood and
beer
To this, our glorious cause
No more shall bloated mtllionaires
Prey on our liberty;
So down with property and rights,
And up with anarchy"
My little son, my precious child
Come listen unto me;
Because your head Is empty, don't
Fill up on anarchy
or men who preach and practise, too,
There is an awful dearth:
And those who preach all own the world,
They only want the earth"

oday's Races.

There is no question that the races
of today by the Waterville Driving
Club will draw crowds from the entire
kennebec valley. This section had
held the reputation of being one of the
greatest horse-raising parts OF Maine,
long before the Watervile Driving
Club was organized and. with the i'm
petus given to the industry by our
band of local enthusiasts and the long
list of fast horses which have been
advertised to race, the interest will be
great among the horse owners of the
surrounding cities in the prospects of
the Central Maine turf for the present
season.
Walter E. Reynolds, S. f. Whitcomb
and Wallace Jewell have been chosen
as the judges to officiate at the matinee
races at the Central Maine park this
afternoon.
