There is no certainty about the mat
ter, but there is nothing to indicate
more than the average length of term,
as far as civil business is concerned. AS
the docket now stands, only two cases
are assigned for trial. These are the
cases of E. l. Brown VS.. r. D. Shanahan
ct al, two cases between the same parties.
That there will be considerable in the
line of criminal business for the action
of this court is evident from the record
of the Jail register. There are now in
Jail twenty-one persons, of whom eleven
are awaiting the action of the court.
The case of most importance and inter-
est is that of Wallace G. Everett of Paris,
charged with the murder of Edgar L.
Ratcliff of the same town. The other
cases include the following
Charles Randall of Hebron is bound
over on the charge of assault with intent
to kill. He was committed to Jail, and
thence, by order of the authorities, taken
to the insane hospital at Augusta for
observation as to his sanity.
Three Poles, John Lobikis, Mike Gus
tits, and Coils Ploplis, were bound over
in the sum of $4,000 each for assault
with intent to kill upon some of their
fellow-countrymen at Rumford Falls, as
the outcome of free fight on the street.
One of them secured bail, but the other
two are in custody.
Giuseppe Regetano and Domenico
Galati of Rumford Falls are charged
with assault with intent to rob, being
armed with dangerous weapon.
Wilfred Willett and Louis Monchamp,
boys, of Rumford Falls, are bound over
on the charge of breaking and entering
and larceny.
DIR. Charles J. Harmon of Mexico is
bound over on the charge of larceny.
Warren Cook of Rumford Falls is
charged with larceny from the person.
In addition to those in Jail, several
other parties have been bound over and
have secured bail, on a variety OF
charges, including some liquor cases.
One matter that is likely to receive at
tention from the attorneys present at the
term is the question of the care of the
law library. This library has grown
considerably beyond the provisions for
the care of it in the court house, and for
the lack of room to care for them, a
large number of valuable law books are
piled on the floor. Tentative plans for
an addition to the court house which
would extend the library accommoda-
tions were some time ago prepared, and
committee of the bar was appointed to
present the matter to the consideration
of the county commissioners, but there
the project seemed to hang fire, and the
library is still short of accommodations.
Good Auto, but not So Good Roads.
