Caaa of Assault.

Word was telephoned here, Saturday
afternoon, to Sheriff Smith that Herbert
Mason of Canaan was disturbing the
peace of that community, being intoxi-
Gated and In possession of a revolver
with which he threatened the lives of
various members of his family.
Mr.. Smith was at the time occupied
in searching for liquor at some OF the
Skowhegan restaurants, but he detailed
Deputy Fred Horne of Canaan to return
to bis home community in answer TO
the summons, sending with him also
Officer Fred c. Dunlap. These gentle.
men arrived a. the Mason farm about
dark After searching the house and
barns for some hours they were about 10
abandon their quest when they were
led by dog, evidently belonging about
the premises, TO Walt location previous
ly over looked and there they found Ma
son, crouching In corner revolver In
hand Despite his somewhat formid'
able appearance he was placed under ar
rest without difficulty, brought to Show
hogan and lodged in jail
At the trial in the Municipal Court
Monday morning, it appeared from
evidence of members of the family that
he, being under the influence OF liquor,
became enraged at them and fired sew
eral shots apparently with intent to DO
them harm. Mis-. Mason with an infant
child and son of eleven years escaped
from the house and caused the message
to be sent to Skowhegan by telephone
as above reported Judge Bachelor
felt justified in holding the respondent
for the action of the supreme Court and
placed his bail at $780, which Mason has
thus far been unable to obtain. The
case for the state was conducted by
Fred F. Lawrence and l. L. Walton ap
peared for the RESPONDENT.
Mason has bad record. He IL said
to be we'll behaved when sober but to
possess a mania for destruction az soon
as he becomes intoxicated. About six
mouths since he made an attack upon
Geo. Pottle firing several shots at him,
for which he was arrested and placed on
trial. At that time he was released
under bonds and the matter was finally
dropped.
1t is suggested by some Of the officers
concerned in the case. that, If Mason
cannot abandon both drink and fire
arms( which they strongly recommend
him to do) that be make plans to asso-
ciate himself with only one of them at
time.

Blaze at Whittier Block

Skowhegan commenced its FIRE record
for the year 1907 with lively blaze,
early yesterday morsing, in the Whittier
block and connecting buildings on
Water street, owned by John d. Sy-
mons
The fire was discovered by the night
watch, George Steward, who rnng in
the alarm from the post Office station,
No. "a, just before four o'clock. The
fire whistle did not respond with the
nsual volume of sound and at least one
third of the members of the department
failed to hear it at all. When 1t was
found that so large proportion OF the
men we're missing, second alarm was
given.
The fire originated in the one story
wooden connection between the whit
tier block and stable directly IN the
rear, apparently in the workroom into
which the ovens of the bakery faced.
There bad been no fire in these ovens
since seven o'clock, Monday morning,
and the whole plant being heated by
steam and lighted by electricity, what
should have started the fire remains
mystery. From the point of its origin
the fire made rapid progress In oo'n
directions, along the top OF the oVens'
which extend into the stable and also
into the brick block on the first and
second floors. The fremen succeeoeo
in checking the flames in the oricK
structure before they had worked much
destructiou but the fire persisted in the
stable until the building, though the
walls are standing, is a total loss.
Two bakers delivery wagons, tome OF
the harnesses and other team equipment
were saved from the stable but the
three horses which were in the building
were lost, together with hay and gram
of considerable value. Three pigs
which we're in the basement oil the
stable, appear to have come through
what must have been for them windy
exciting night. without serious injury
The tools, machinery, supplies and n1
,nrea in the workroom where the hre
started. were practically total loss aud
a stock of flour stored in the basement
NJ the Whittier block is badly damaged
no water and smoke The steamer and
the fire bydrants furnished five streams
of water and the fremen report mat
the pressure was excellent.
Mr.. symons had 81 500 insurance on
the Whittier block, stable and the con-
Meeting building. AS the loss to TINS
real estate is probably not above $l,600
he ia, of course, amply protected IN THIS
resnec,. The loss on the contents OF
the stable. including the three horses, is
sometbinq less than 1000 and upon
this there was but $500 insurance. The
loss ON flour and stock in general is dit
fioult to estimate but 1t was covered by
a policy of $l,700 which will doubt
less prove full protection Mr.. Symons
had no insurance on his machines, tools,
implements and fixtures in the bakery
workroom and meets with loss OF sew
eral hundred dollars by their damage
and destruction.
The loss to Nay s. Varney and Mar
Gus Moore, who occupied the upstairs
tenemeuts is small.
