Three dodgers who sought the COM
forts afforded by the police station
Wednesday night encountered a streak
of luck of which they had probably
never dreamed. 1t is not the custom OF
the authorities to furnish a breakfast
for these wayfarers for were it so the
station would in short time become
so popular that wing would have TO
he built in order to accommodate the
guests. and the good luck of the three
dodgers mentioned above was due to
the fact that the boys of Hose l mad
an oyster supper Wednesday evening.
A goodly amount of stew was left over
and by invitation of some of the fire
men the dodgers went up to the hose
house to breakfast. Driver Williams
had the stew piping hot and the way
those three men pitched into it was
caution. After eating to their hearts
content they expressed their appreccia-
ton of the. kindness shown them ana
went their way rejoicing 1t was
probably the best breakfast that they
had partaken of for some time.

the true one. That version was that as
he was feeding a hollow sleeve of thin
wood to a circular saw to be cut into
inch long lengths, the sleeve collapsed
under his left hand, throwing the hand
against the saw. There is nothing IN
herently improbable in this version.
though the evidence for the defence
was in negation. Further the plaintiff $
version is in some respects consistent

Only two questions appear to have

First, whether the defendant was to

only for logs in excess Of 200 NJ. Second
whether the defendants agreed to de-
fer the cutting and hauling logs from
one of the lots named in the contract
until the second winter or only until
September or October preceding the
second winter.
Upon both these questions there was
nothing inherently or otherwise i'm
probable in the plaintiffs version. and
there was direct evidence in support of
it, We do not find the evidence to the

Androscoggin County-State vs. James

(No opinion).
1t is an established principal of tho
common law that crimes are local and
to be prosecuted in the county of their
commission. The legislative modiica-
tions of this principle are not involved
in this case.
1t is also an elementary rule of
criminal pleading that the place of ev-
cry offence must be alleged in the in
dictment in order to establish the We
nue.
In the case at bar an indictment for
larceny was returned by the grand jury
of Androscoggin county at a term of
the supreme judicial court holden in
that county but it contains no aver
ment that the offence therein described
was committed at any town or plan
tation in said county, and no general
averment that it was committed with
in said county of Androscoggin. The in
dictment is insufficient. The motion

Thi, was an action OH the case to
recover damages for personal injuries
sustained by plaintiff by reason of the
overturning of the carriage in which
she was driving. resulting from the
fright of the horse alleged TO have
been caused by an automobile oper-
ated by the defendant who failed to
stop his machine after the statutory
notice Or. S., Chap "A, See. 81, was CIV
Ell by plaintiff.
That the horse was frightened by the
automobile is not denied. The main
and practically Only question is wheth-
er the automobile stopped. Upon this
point was the evidence of the plaintiff
and her companion on the one part and
that of defendant upon the other. This
evidence presented many sharp contra
dictions. The jury found for the plain
tiff. A most careful reading and re-
reading Of the evidence fails to show
either circumstances or independent
facts which carry conviction that the
verdict was indubitably wrong upon
this issue.
Nor can we come to the conclusion
that the finding of the jury upon the
defence of contributory negligence
was likewise erroneous. The charge of
the Justice presiding is not found III
the record and we must assume that
proper instructions We're given. I'm
der such instructions the question of
contributory negligence was for the

GUILD NOW"

According to circulars sent out by
the American Lumberman, builders and
contractors all over the country claim
that the cost of building AT present
ranges from 10 to % per cent below
the cost last year. The inference Is
that this is an opportune time for all
who desire to build, to start. All classes
of buildings we are assured, can be
put up much cheaper now than at any
time within the last five years. Those
to whom employment Is given will do
more and better work for the same
wages or Tor less pay than was de-
manded last year, Material of all
kinds can be supplied promptly, ana
prolnptness on the part of material pco-
pie in delivering what IL required has
much TO do with determining the fina
cost OF structure
If the reports are correct. Investors
should take advantage of the situation
and provide work for idlo hands as
well as save money for themselves

STAGGERING LOSSES BY FIRE.
New York Globe.

The totals of fire loss in this country
may signify little to the average mind,
but the comparative figures should
mean much. The figures issued by
the national board OF fire underwriters
show that the average fire loss per cap
tia In the United States for the last
FIVE years was S3.o2, against "a cents
for six European countries, including
France. Germany and Austria, 1t may
be objected perhaps that il is unfair TO
select this particular period for pur-
poses OF companion, since both the
Baltimore fire of 1904 and the San Fran
cisco fire of 1906 are included in It.
And yet If these two fires, represent
ing about $35O,Oo0OOO. were deducted
from the total fire loss of the country
for the Ave years--which is estimated
at Sl251 6955-the total would be re-
duced but little over a fourth. And
the American per capita loss would re-
main about six and une-half times
larger than the European. What is TO
blame for this great Disparity Are VIC
so much more careless than Euro
peans? Are European building codes,
fire departments and water supplies
from six and half TO ten times better
than those found In the United States?
