Killed at North Arson.

One man was killed, another Sc
verely injured and several had narrow
escapes, Saturday, while unloading
logs from railroad cars for the North
Arson Lumber Co.
j. S. Spaulding, aged 40, was killed.
He leaves a widow and two small
children. John Livingston was cut
about the head and rendered uncon-
conscious for a half hour. His in
iuries were not of a serious nature.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of guy wire used to sup
port a tripod with which the logs were
hoisted from the cars. The tripod
fell, striking Spaulding and Living
ston and knocking them to the
ground. Several Other workmen,
hearing the warning cries had sue
ceeded in lodging beneath the cars
and escaped injury. Tire victims be

The Hearings

All the respondents were arraigned
in the Skowhegan Municipal court,
Amos c. Butler, Esq, appearing for
the state Geo. Z. Washburn. VIM
Howard, futile Bros. and F. NJ. Cot
ton were each fined 500 and costs
with so days in Jail, and all the cases
were appealed.
Two charges were preferred against
Hughey Breinghan, one for search in
which seizure was prevented by the
act of the respondent, and another
for keeping nuisance. On the first
count fine of 500 and costs was i'm
posed with the Jail sentence as in the
cases already noted The nuisance
action was not within the Jurisdiction
of the Municipal court and Judge
Bachelor therefore ordered the res
pOndent to recognize in the sum of
$500 for trial at the next term of the
higher court. The bonds were fnrn-
ished.
In the cases of W. G. Bradbury and
Ruel Learned of Fairfield, the court
took cognizance of the fact that the
actions were for the first offence in
each case and imposed fines of Sl00
and costs only with no Jail sentence.
Bradbury and Learned both settled.

The Concert of Nations.

The musical entertainment for
which over 100 Skowhegan people
have been rehearsing for the past xix
weeks, under the dictatorship OF y.
w. Littlefeld of Bangor, was given in
Grange hall, Friday evening Of last
week, to a crowded house, every seat
being occupied.
The Concert of Nations is an ideal
production for amateur talent. It
makes no pretentions Of having a plot
but is simply an aggregation Of the
patriotic music of the different ma.
lions in which, OF course, the Amer
lean national airs have a prominent
part. Germany's "Watch on the
Rhine" Italy's ooh Italia" and the
"March of the Men of Harlech," were
sung by the full chorus, the latter
being the national song of Wales The
boys from the Park school made a
splendid impression in their "Midship-
mite" and the childrens' chorus, in
which so misses of from to 13 wears,
all dressed in white with red sashes,
filed onto the stage for "The Flag that
Never Knows Defeat" and several
other songs, carrying flags to wave in
the chorus, was very, very pleasing
Oscar Gledhill made a great hit in his
song and character sketch of Glow

Miss Myra Governs "Maid from
Nicobaro was encored with enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Carroll Goodwin delighted
his friends with very pleasant render
ing of "Voices of the past" and all
the soloists were applauded in a
manner which showed their work was
thoroughly appreciated. "Uncle Josh
Perkins Orchestra" came in at Just
the ideal time, preceding the closing
chorus of "Ame rica,o and provoked
much mirth. The nine young men

Rescript from Law Court.

The following rescript has been
handed down from the Law Court in
the following Somerset county case.
Elgie A. Fogg in equity, vs.. Inha-
bitants of Cornville.
Rescript no opinion.
One A. X. p. Fogg of Cornville, an
insane person and an inmate of the
insane hospital, was possessed of
some property. He also had an in
sane daughter, Gracia, who was liable
to become a charge as a pauper on
the town of Cornville. The munich
pal officers petitioned the Probate
Court for the appointment of guar
dian for the father with the intention
of preserving his estate for such con-
tingency. The wife and another
daughter, Elgie, objected to this pro-
ceeding, ard after some negotiations
in which the mother and Elgie had
the assistance and acted under the
advice of counsel, it was agreed that
the mother and Elgie should give
bond to hold the town harmless from
any liability for support of Gracia,
the insane GIRL and to secure the
bond by mortgage of real estate,
and that thereupon the petition for
the appointment of guardian should
be Withdrawn. This agreement was
carried out on both sides.
The mother having died and her
interest in The mortgaged property
/ having decended to the daughter, Ell
gle, the latter brought bill in equity
for a cancellation of the bond and
mortgage on two grounds, LIST, that
they were obtained by fraud and du-
ress. End, that they were without
consideration.
/ Held
LIST. That the evidence does not
show any legal fraud or duress.
End. That the withdrawal of the
petition for the appointment of a
guardian for the father, and yielding
the control of his property to his wife
and daughter, Elgie, was a legal and
sufficient consideration for their I'M
derstanding to keep his daughter,
Gracia, off the town.
Decree below reversed.
Bill dismissed.
