Re-arrested.

Geo. Young, whose trial and con-
viction for violation of the liquor law
is reported above, secured his liberty
yesterday by furnishing bonds.
This morning Sturgis Deputies
stackpole and Weston, visited his
place on Water street and found fifty
pint bottles of liquor secreted among
some wood on the second floor.
Young jumped out of the stable win
dow and set off on the run down the
street but was followed by Deputy
Weston and arrested near the Eddy.
He is now confined in the lookup on
Court street awaiting a hearing.

Wholesale Arrests.

Five violators of the liquor law
were brought before the Skowhegan
Municipal court at the Monday morn
ing session, as the result of work done
by Sheriff Clyde H. Smith and arrests
made by him. They were all of the
pocket peddling class and from differ
ent sections of the town, indicating
that they were 80 situated as to dis
tribute their pernicious business in a
widespread manner, likely to do the
greatest harm. In such searches as
were made Mr.. Smith had the assist
ance of Deputy David Lewis with
Chas. c. Tozier and Chas. Green as
aids.
The places thus visited were the
house occupied by Eli Higgins on
West Front street, where Is pints of
whiskey were found; the home of
Octave Vigue on Maple street, where
FIVE pints of the same liquor was
seized; and the house occupied by
Geo. Young and wife on Water street,
nothing however being found at the
latter place. MIR. Smith had other
evidence against Mr.. and Mrs. Young
and they were arraigned with Vigue
and Higgins above mentioned in the
Municipal Court on Monday morning,
together with Fred Doyl, arrested for
single sale. There was some variety
in the pleas entered by the five re-
spondents but the result of hearing
was much the same in each case. All
were found guilty and were given
Jail sentences with fines in addition.
With the exception of Mrs. Young,
whose case was made the subject of
some leniency by the Court from the
fact that she has two small children
to care for, all were committed and
are now serving out their sentences
of from 80 to SO days in the county
Jail.
1t may be said in connection with
the above prosecutions that when our
sheriff makes move he is quite GER
tain to accomplish the purpose at
which he aims with expedition and
thoroughness Pocket peddlers, like
are the hardest Of all law breakers to
apprehend and Mr.. Smith is to be
congratulated in landing five of them
at one cast of the net. The depreda-
ton wrought by these five criminals
and their kind had been all too much
in evidence during the five or ten
days preceding their arrest and it is a
distinct gain for better things that
their activities will be limited for the
next thirty days at least.
1t may occur to some to inquire
why the Sturgis deputies, with the
time they have at their disposal,
should not have become aware Of the
extent that pocket peddling was being
carried Oh and made some move
against it. 1t seems that they were
about the only people in town who
failed TO understand the true condi-
ton of things. 1t is quite possible
that Sheriff Smith may have delayed
action for few days to give the Stur-
gis men chance to move, but it is
more likely that he waited until he
could gather in the whole five at one
time.

The dogfish are eating up the valu-
able sea fish all along the coast, and
what to do with them is a burning
question. Some pretend they are
good for food, and may be utilized
that way, possibly. If the price of
food rises we may be driven to the
alternative of eating the broadsides
Of old barns, or even the Democratic
platform. Most of us can remember
when no one would eat swordfish, but
they have since become popular, and
are now as high in the market as cod
FISH.

YOUNG BIKE RIDER HURT
IN UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT

Emmett Mallighan. a 15-year-old boy
in the employ of the McGrew Grocery
company, had a bad fall from his
wheel this afternoon as a result of a
collision with a delivery wagon on
Alder street between First and Second.
Young Mallighan was returning from
lunch when the accident occurred. AS
he rode behind the delivery wagon the
horse backed, pushing the wagon di-
rectly into the lad.
The boy was thrown from his bicy-
Gle, cutting cash in his head above
the right eye. One arm was also bad
ly bruised.
Although badly hurt the plucky lit
tie fellow insisted on walking to his
mothers home at the corner of Seventh
and Cherry streets, as he did not want
to alarm her. His injuries are not
serious =.

COUNTY AND CITY OFFICIALS IN
CLASH OVER COUNTY ROAD LINE

There will shortly be a relocation
made of the county road from it's in
tersection with the east boundary of
the city limits to a distance of some
two miles out of the city.
This is the result of action taken
by City Surveyor Wilson in fencing
in the land recently purchased for the
new reservoir site from ]. G. Thomas
and Hector MCLEAN, and a complaint
on the part of the county commission
ers that a portion of the county land
had been fenced in with II.
This portion of the road has not
been reestabl.shed since 1874 and the
field notes describing it are indefinite
in the extreme, says City Surveyor
Wilson. According to him the notes
describing it as beginning where the
Mill creek road crosses the eastern
limits of the city. AS this was estab-
lished some 80 years ago. ard as the
road has meandered around over the

FARMER TRIED TO BOOST
HAY PRICES With FIRE

SPOKANE, July 22.-After having
the matter under consideration for the
past three days, Justice Stocker this
morning announced that he found in
the evidence of the cause of the state
against Louis Siegelkow sufficient
cause to bind the defendant over for
trial before the superior court, and
fixed the bond at $3.50
The defendant is an old farmer who
is accused of setting fire to shed
containing 40 or 80 tons of timothy
hay on the ranch of E. F. Graves, five
miles from Cheney. The theory is
that he had hay to sell and wanted to
raise the price by destroying his
neighbours supply. The preliminary
hearing occupied a day and a half in
Justice Suckers court the present
week.

Local capitalists nave filed articles
of incorporation under the name of
the Chelan Electric company, with
100000 capital stock, with the insen-
ton of building an electric railway
from Wenatchee to the northern end

The route followed starts at a point
near Wer.atchee, following the Co

north to the Okanogan river and then
to the end of the state. Lighting and

and F. H. Brownell.
