A PECULIAR CASE.
A $500 Suit for Services Brought BY
Party At Newport.

Newport, Me-, May pa hearing in
the case Of Lewis Cross Of Newport
against Bowman c. Miller of the same
town was heard Wednesday and Thurs
day in the attorneys room at the court
house before Judge Charles A.
Bailey as referee. The case is suit for
the recovery of about $500 for services
rendered the defendant by the plaintiff
in caring for his farm in Newport from
1903 to 1906 and for the value of certain
personal property alleged to have been
mortgaged by Miller to Cross. This lat
ter is q separate suit of Cross against
O1rin C. Folsom into whose possession
this property fell after the plaintiff
ceased his services to Mr.. Miller
The case was entered at the October
term of the supreme court in 1906 and
referred to Judge Bailey by Justice A.
r. Savage.
The suit grows out of rather pecu-
liar set of circumstances. Cross was
discharged by Miller from the superin-
tendency of his farm and soon after
Milers set Of buildings were burned to
the ground. Lewis Cross and the
daughter, Imogene SCross, were ar
rested, charged with the crime Of ar
son. A hearing was held and they We're
bound over to the August term of the
supreme court. An indictment was
found by the jury charging arson but
the case was continued until February,
when it was again continued to the
coming August term. In October Cross
brought the present court against Mil
; Ter
The arguments in the case were con-
Guided Thursday before noon. Judge
Bailey will make his report on the case
at the October civil term Of court A.
i. Blanchard, Esq, appeared for the
defense and ". S. Townsend, Esq, of
Newport for the plaintiff.
County Attorney Patten said Thurs
! day that ST. far as he knew the case on
| the arson charge against Cross ana his
daughter Would be tried at tbs coming
| August criminal term of court. The
| reason the case was not tried in Au-
gust, 1906, was that it was not reached
| before time for court to adjourn. As
| above stated it was then continued to
| February. At this term Of court it was
| GAINED by the defense that the girl
Imogene Cross, was i'll and unable t.
come into cougt, for which reason ii
was again continued.
| Cross and his daughter are out or
| $4,000 boil each.

Many automobiles who travel the

a place where turning out was difficult

BATES COLLEGE,
Why the Students Like the StroIs
With Prof. Stanton.

Lewiston, Me-, May 23.-(SpeciaD.-The
Junior class of Bates College has decided
to take a trip to Orrs Island on their
class ride which is to occur soon. The
last long trip was made to Squirrel Is
land.
The Freshman Glass with Prof. Stanton
as cnaperon intends to spend the coming
Saturday at Noname pond, Sabattus This
will require three-mile walk, but they
will not mind this, having been accus-
toned TO their long bird walks during the
spring. Prof. Stanton makes one of tie
best OF chaperons, for his attention is
usually so wholly absorbed in gazing at
the birds while on a picnic that his fol-
lowers are quite forgotten and can do as
they please-lag behind or stroll off ty
themselves.
The concert given by the Y. W. c. a.
in the Free Baptist church was Il grand
success and nearly 500 was taken for the
Mortified fund.
A meeting of the track team men will
be held in Parker hall Friday for the
election Of new track captain. Fraser
| 'GS and Bosworth '0S are the likely candi-
| udtSo' lpplil hOuiu CANSiiSiit N''P
tains, for they are good workers and have
| made good records in Bates track work;
| both hold college records and one holds a
| New England record; both have always
made the greatest number Of individual
points in the interclass meets. The
| chances are in favor of Bosworth as cap
tain, for he has been the outdoor class
| captain and has been slightly the better
| trainer.
Mich enthusiasm is now being mani
| tested in tennis. for the intercollegiate
tennis tournament is to come off al
Brunswick next week. At present Tuttle

advantage in doubles. In singles, Whit

habit that the people have in and
around Williamsburg that also af
