$25o,ooo DAMAGES.

Two undred of our citizens enjoyed an
evening of unqualified and uproarious
fun last Friday evening at the Mock
Trial, in the vestry of the NJ. E. church
when Miss Mabel LaRoche sought to re-
cover damages for the cruel and wanton
refusal of David Haynes to fulfill his
contract to marry her. Miss LaRoche
proved that she was nineteen years old
and that the defendant had showed
her marked attention from the time
that she was eleven years old until May
80, 1906, when upon may-howering
expedition near the Dolloff Brook he
offered himself and became her accepted
lover. This story WAS corroborated by
Mr.. Corbett and Mr.. Dyer Snobgrass,
who happened to be fishing in the vi
ciuity at the time, and upon other points
she was corroborated by members of
her own family, who testified to the
frequent visits of the defendant, his
affectionate demonstrations, aud the
lunches prepared for him by the fair
plaintiff. Miss Mary Lee, was improved
as witness and testified that she
worked eight weeks in making the
nlaiptiff's trousseau, consisting of eight
cen valuable dresses. Mr.. Flanagan,
who testified that he was janitor Of the
Y. NJ. C. A. recently from Ireland, pro-
duced several love poems which he had
caught David writing and throwing in
to the waste basket. Mr.. Hunt, who
represented the plaintiffs interests had
his case well in hand, and at the close OF
plaintiffs case, it was evident that the
defendant and his attorney considered
their chance to defend the main issue
in the case hopeless and the defendant
coutepted himself with general
denial of the contract and a readiness
to marry the plaintiff then and there
stating that his age was ninety-five
and his prospects good. Five witnesses
we're improved by him, whose testimon,
tended to show that the plaintiff, wa

in the habit of enticing men into Ell

John +. Linden.

John F. Linden, whose critical Illness
q. the Royal Victoria Hospital, Mont
real, was mentioned last week, died on
Thursday, few days after submitting
t, all operation for cancer of the
stomach. Although looked for at any
time, the community was greatly sad
dened by his death. Mr.. Linden pos
sessed spirit OF disposition which dis.
covered the bright aud best in life and
in consequence was favorite with all
his associates, and held in very high
esteem generally. He was member of
Essex Lodge, 1. q. .. F., Ross Encamp-
N ,nt, |. 0. o. F., Oswegotchie Lodge,
X. of p, and Mt. Bluff Camp, NJ. W.
A., and ia each order was one of the
most faithful and efficient officers,
honored by the highest positions in the
Gift of the m. mbers Of the first three
named. When the rural free delivery
was established here he was appointed
carrier, aud he served the public faith
fully aud promptly, rarely missing a
trip, although at times he suffered
greatly from the ailment which finally
caused death. He is survived by his
wife and one son, to whom the sym
pathy of the community is extended in
their great affection by the loss OF a
kind husband aud father. Funeral SER
vices were held at Grace M. E. Church
Sunday afternoon, where comforting
| words we're spoken by his pastor, Rev.
| l.. N. Moody, and quartette rendered
several appropriate selections. The fu'
neral was largely attended by relatives
and friends, and members of the differ
ept orders to which he belonged in his
lifetime, Beautiful flowers and horal
designs from the family, relatives
friends and the orders covered the
basket. Following the church service
the last rites of the X. of p. were i'm
pressively rendered, aud at the conc'"
aim tho members of the different
orders deposited sprig of evergreen OF
the ca.ket. The body was then take'
IN the receiving vault, escorted oy the
orders. Thus, at the age OF ffty'tw'
wears. a life of usefulness aud value
was ended.

Out In Idaho. Coming.

In it's third successful season "Ont
in Idaho" comes to the Island Pond
opera house on Tuesday evening March
% headed by Miss Dorothy kurtis whose
work this season has met with enthu-
siastic commentator of press and pub
lie. "Out IN Idaho is one of those
rare plays that makes even the hardened
theatre goer tingle with new sensa-
ton. The play is a refined comedy
drama, and it depicts as wildly as stage
craft can, the primitive passions that
swayed the lives of the men and women
who rushed to the west during the great
gold fever. Hatred, love, revenge, re-
ward tor good deeds, happiness, sorrow,
all are given their due place in this re-
markable dramatic picture of those days
of long ago. Seats are now on sale at
Thurston's. This is the same company
that plays Sherbrooke, Portland, Lewis
