JOCYLEN ARRESTED.

Bucksport Man Bound Over for
Grand Jury.
Charles c. Jocylen, Of Bucksport, was
arrested Monday night, charged with
embezzlement, and arraigned yesterday
before Recorder Remick Of the Western
Hancock municipal court and bound over
for the grand jury under s., 900 bonds.
Jocylen, it will be remembered, dis
appeared from his home Wednesday, Nov.
6. An examination OF. the books of the
Bucksport loan and building association,
large part Of the funds OF which he
handled as clerk for Hon. Parker Spofford,
secretary, indicated a shortage.
Last Thursday Jocylen returned to his
home of his own accord in a state OF
collapse. He has since kept to his bed,
and refuses to talk. The hearing before
the recorder was in Jocylen's room. His
counsel, G. ]. Hutchings, of Brewer,
entered plea Of not guilty on his behalf.
The exact amount Of the shortage in the
building association funds cannot be
ascertained for some time, but is under
stood to be above 5000. The irregulari-
ties cover period Of more than four
years.
Jocylen will be brought to the county
jail at Ellsworth this afternoon if he is
able to come.

Bracket Convicted on Three Counts.

The May term of Circuit Court
opened Monday morning, with
Judge Thomas w. Harrison, of
Winchester, presiding.
The first case called was that of
the Commonwealth VS.. Robert
Brackett. who was recently in
dicted by the Grand Jury on a
charge Of selling liquor without a
license. There were two indict-
ments, but only one was tried.
The indictment carried four sepa-
rate counts, and the jury returned
a verdict finding Bracket guilty
on the second, third and fourth
counts, and not guilty on the first
count. He was sentenced to pay 4
fine of Of $50 on each of the three
counts, making total fine of $50,
as we'll as all of the costs in the
case.
The COURIER is informed that the
other Indictment against Bracket
will not be tried. as he Is said to
have agreed to leave the State
if the indictment Is not pressed.
The court record shows nothing of
this agreement, however.
The case of the Commonwealth
Us. Lille Robinson and Sadie Jones
was called. but was not heard. as
the attorneys for the defense raised
the point that the panel had been
Illegally drawn. The contention
was sustained by Judge Harrison,
and the case will probably not be
heard beforce the September term.
The Court ordered that Marshall
Williams, who is now in jail here
charged with horse stealing, be
held to await requisition from the
Maryland authorities.

ting into shape as the weather gets
warmer, and with Marshall EIsea,
Ellis Sheperd, and the new man
(Feltner), Berryville has the strong

ing the past ten years.
Elsea has one OF the best throw
ing arms in this section. and he
only needs plenty of pitching work
TO make him valuable man.
Shepherd, who has pitched regulaly
on the second team for some time,
has good curves, excellent control,
and one of the best baseball heads
in town. Feltner's shoots and
speed are both good, he fields his
position well. and has perfect con
troll Of the ball at all times.

"Pillins In" at the Bridge.

The work of erecting the two
fills for the new Opequon bridge is
going along as rapidly as it is pos
sible to push the men and teams,
and Secretary Mccormick informs
us that there will be no Iet-up until
the bridge is completed and ready
for travel.
In construction and material the
new Opequon bridge is one of the
most substantial highway bridges
in the Valley, and compares favor
ably with the two big County
bridges at Castleman's and Berry's
ferries, although it is a much
smaller and less costly structure.
\ large part of the automobile

Will add vast deal of pleasure and

with one exception.
The services were hold at The

as the sweet comforting words OF
prayer fell from the lips of Rev.

that it was good to be there.
The solemn music echoed and re-
echoed over The City of the
Dead bringing sad, but sweet
memories of the loved ones to al
present.

Virginia WinS Debt Case.

The Supreme Court of the United
States on Monday overruled a
demurrer of the State of West
Virginia in the original proceed
ings against that State by the State
of Virginia in which the latter
State seeks to compel the former
to assume portion of the indebt-
edness contracted by Virginia be-
fore the creation of West Virginia.
The order was announced by Chief
Justice Fuller. who said that there
could be no doubt of the iurisdic-
tion of the Supreme Court in the
case.
While Chief Justice Fuller's
opinion dealt necessarily with the
question presented by the demur-
rer, he covered somewhat the
merits of the case.
When the amount properly due
from West Virginia is ascertained.
the Supreme Court will consider
ways and means of enforcing pay
ment of same, provided, of course,
that West Virginia attempts to
evade payment.
