Before an improvised altar artlstnaliy decorated with ferns and American Beauty roses, and under an immense arch of palms and mis- uetoe, the young couple stood, while Dr. Louis Witt read the impressive ceremony that pronounced them man and wife. The bride is q handsome young woman and looked execution ally well on this occasion in a going away gown of taupe broadcloth with \ accessories to match.

Maine Buried Treasure.

As an illustration OF how justice Is
sometimes meted out by our courts OF
law the case OF the buried treasure
found In New Vineyard serves well.
Fessenden Hackett while employed
by Leonard Hackett found some old
coin OF the face value OF about 81 300
and bullion value OF $3.50. Both the
Hacketts, brothers. claimed the coin
and Fessenden finally bought his
brothers claim for $3.50 in good money
and took all the coin. comprising both
domestic and foreign money. But he
no sooner gets what he believes to
be a clear title than two fellow-work-
men with him at the time of the dis
covery claimed the proportional parts
OF the money and entered suit to re-
cover II. OF the bullion value Of $3.50
Fessenden had already paid his broth
er $3.50; now the jury has decided
that he must also pay each OF his
fellow workmen about $500. so the
buried treasure he found. and which
had a market value of $3.50. he must
pay $1.150 for. In other words. he is
$500 and court expenses worse OF
than II he had found nothing.
