Rev. Mordecai. Ham, the temperance

The Somerset reporter., 1907-11-07

Mrs. A. o. Savage of Pine Grove,
Nevada, is the guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
B. F. Adams, also Mr.. Oliver Chairman
of Dover has been visiting at the
same place.
William Howes, one of the oldest
men in this section, died quite sud
denly last Friday morning at the
home of Simeon Howes in Concord.
Mr. Howes lacked only few days Of
being "a years of age and had been in
his usual health until very short
time before his death. Funeral ser
vices were held at the residence on
Sunday afternoon at two O'Clock,
Rev. W. A Richmond speaking words
of comfort to the widow and other
mourners and friends.
There were two freight wrecks on
the Somerset extension Tuesday.
Just after leaving Dead Water, com
ing south, a freight car lett the rails
and ploughed up the rails for half a
mile, but did no damage, simply de-
layed the train. About twenty
minutes later, as the same train was
coming down the grade a half mile
north of Austin Junction, another car
left the rails and before stopping,
three freight cars had left the irons
and only the front end of the passen-
ger ear rested on the road bed. For
tunately no one was hurt in this mis-
hap. A wrecking crew came from
Oakland and the track was cleared
before dark.

Municipal Courts

Four liquor libels were returnable
at the Skowhegan Municipal Court
last Monday, all arising from seizures
made in this county by Sturgis depu
ties. Three of them were disposed
of on that date and the fourth on the
day following.
The liquors seized on the premises
of William Willett of Fairfield were
declared forfeited no one appearing
to claim them.
As the analysis of the one bottle of
beer, recently seized at the store of
Eielio Debe, showed that it was of
grade the sale of which is not
prohibited by law, it was ordered
returned to the owner. The five
bottles of whiskey seized in the sleep
ing room of the same party were also
ordered returned the Judge being
convinced by the circumstances of
the case that they were for the
personal use OF the defendant.
The hearing ON the liquors seized at
the store of F. w. Buchanan occurred
on Tuesday. The defendant APP
peared, as the law requires under
such circumstances, and submitted a
statement, under oath, in which he
declared that the liquors were not
kept or deposited for unlawful sale as
was alleged in the libel. The position
taken by Mr.. Bueknam's counsel was,
that this statement under oath, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary
introduced by the opposing side, es-
tablished the case for the defendant.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
deputies who made the seizure did
not see fit to testify or to introduce
any evidence whatever, the Judge de-
clared the liquors forfeited. This de-
cision, in view of the fact that no
evidence was offered to controvert the
sworn statement made by Mr.. Buck
nam, came as a surprise to many, and
in the minds of some, at least, seems
entirely at variance with the well
known principle of law, as understood
by the general public, that all persons
in the eyes of the law stand as inno-
cent until proven guilty. The re-
spondent appealed and furnished
bonds in the sum of 5000, which was
signed by Chas. F. Ward and c. A.
Ross as sureties.
William Murtha of Jaekman was
before Judge Bachelor on October
31st, charged with single sale. He
was found guilty and given sentence
of 500 fine with 80 days in Jail. He
appealed and furnished bonds.
Enforcement Deputy Towne made
a seizure in Fairfield Saturday, cap
turing a box of liquor from Henry
Burgess. 1t was expected that the
hearing would occur before Judge
Bachelor on Monday but it was defer
red owing to the illness ofthe respond
ent.
The Somerset reporter., 1907-11-07
Elizabeth II. Currier.

/ After a week OF severe illness, EliZ
abeth H. Currier, passed to the other
life, Nov. 2, 1907.
By her life among US, she has SO en-
deared herself to the hearts of the
people, that as a community we
mourn her loss.
She is survived by brother, Prof
Albert Currier, now in California.
His daughter, Miss Theo Currier, Mr..
Augustus Healy and other relatives
were present at her death.
Private services we're held at her
late home, the residence of d. H.
Bartlett, Sunday. The public funeral
occurred, Monday forenoon, at the
Congregationalist church.
Miss Currier was born in Skowhe =
gan, Oct. %, 1858, the daughter of
Deacon Willis and Mary Weston Cur
rier. The death of her father dur
ing her infancy, made her the pecu-
liar comfort of her widow mother,
between whom, as the years passed
there grew a bond of close compan
ionship, broken only by the death of
the latter in 1887.
While young child her family
moved into the West returning some
twelve years later to again make a
home in Skowhegan. She was often
a loved and welcome guest in the
families of her uncle, Aaron Healy,
and her brother, Prof. Currier. In
these homes of culture, she came in
contact with much of the progress of
the time, and touched life at many
! points.
Miss Currier was gifted with rare
qualities of mind and character, and
was nurtured in home, where high
ideals of Womanhood were held. She
received her early education in the
public schools, and later attended col
! lege at Antioch and Wellesley. To a
liberal education was added the ad =
vantages of extensive travel. She
loved life and rejoiced in it. She en-
tered into all social enjoyment with
the keenest zest, and was a compan-
ion to young and old alike. Out of her
own happiness it was her greatest joy
to minister to the happiness of others
and her daily life was filled with
gentle and kindly ministrations.
THE blessing of her quiet life
, Fell on us Ike the dew:
And good thoughts, where her footsteps
| pressed
Like fairy blossoms grew"
For many years she has been de-
voted member of the Congregational
! list church. To love God with heI
whole heart, and her neighbor as
herself, was the creed she daily ex-
pressed. OF her it is fitting to write
''She hath done what she could" and
the memory of her life is a benedic-
ton.
Fold her, O Father! in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee"
