Liqaer Dealers May Act Against
Sheriffs lndi, i,iduaiI,.

Before Judge W l.. Putnam In the
United states Circuit court. attorneys
representing H. W HuEuiey a Co.
of Boston. and other liquor dealers
on one side. and the 10 high sherifis
of Maine on the other. argued all the
forenoon on demurrer filed by
counsel for the defendant sherifs to
bill brought last May by the whole
sale liquor dealers. the purpose of
which WIS TO enjoin the sheriffs from
se.zing liquors In transit. and 10 col
leot damages for liquors already sciz-
ed In transit and which the com
plainants claimed were under the
protection of the pure food law. and
seizable only by United States officers
qualified for that duty.
After hearing the arguments of the
counsel. Judge Putnam issued a de-
cree sustaining the demurrer which
set out in substance that all the
liquor dealers cannot consistently
appear on this one complaint against
the l6 sheriffs. in other words that
there is a multiplicity of interests.
and also that nothing in the bill dis
closes any damage tif any were suf-
fered) which were irreparable or for
which there is not a complete rem
edy at law
In his decree Judge Putnam dis
missed the bill of the complainants
with costs to the defendants, but the
respondents have leave to amend
generally on or before Dec. 20; 1909,
paying costs to that date and serv-
ing the attorney general by mailing
same to him at his address at Wa
teryille, Me.
The defendants to plead, answer
or demur on or before December "a.
If the defendants demur the case is
to be heard on Dec. 81, 1909 at 2
o'clock in the afternoon.
There was a distinguished array of
counsel present. Attorney General
Warren c.. Philbrook and Judge
Benedict F. Maher of Augusta, ap-
peared for the sheriffs and George
W. Anderson and James P. Richard
son of Boston and Judge Robert t.
Hough of Washington for the liquor
dealers.
1t is believed that the decree will
mean that the liquor dealers will
amend their action so that bills will
be brought against individual sher-
ifs by individuals or by those who
are directly interested in the acts
of certain sheriffs, and attorneys for
the complainants will undoubtedly
amend by December 20, as allowed
by the decree.
In the original bill six liquor deal
ers appear as complainants. They
are H. w. Huguley Co., c. S. Cove
Co., John F. Callahan & Co.. Shortell
& Timmons, Peter C. Crowley & Co.
and the Terminal Wine Co, all of
Boston.

The men were evidently lying In

had he unlocked the door than they
jumped on him. They were clad only
in their underclothine and the jail
suits of half blue and white drilling
When they broke jal last night il
was thought most likely that they
would make for the railroad line and
this morning Sheriff Carleton took
the trail. At Thorndile he found
that about an hour before his missing
boarders had called at the corner
store and ordered crackers and
cheese, after which they had continu-

driver the sheriff started in pursuit
After a mile or two out he sighted
the gang in the road ahead, but they
saw him, too, and took to the woods
The sheriff gave chase and soon had
them rounded up and all hands caught
the next train for Belfast.
One of them had come in posses
ion of pair of dark trousers in his
nights travel and when he saw Billy
the bull dog at the jail this morning
he greeted him with, Well, Billy,
guess we had little scrap last
night, didn't we?" The legs of his
jail suit testified to the strength and
tenaeity of Billy's teeth.

hailed a tramear. entered it and found
only standing room One of them whis-
pered to her companions: I'm going
to get seat from one of these men.
You take notice" She looked down the
row of men and selected a sedate gen
tteman who bore the general settled
appearance of married man. She
sailed up to him and boldly opened
fire: my dear, Mr.. Green! How de-
lighted I am to meet you. You are al
most a stranger. Will I accept your
seat? Well do feel tired, 1 heartily
admit Thank you so much" The Sc
Gate gentleman-a total stranger, of
course-looked, listened, then quickly
rose and gave her his seat, saying:
"Sit down, Jane, my girl. Don't often
see you out on washing day. You must
feel tired, I'm sure. How is your mis-
tress??" The young lady got her seat
but lost her vivacity.-London Taller.

City Paying
County Taxes

PENDLETON, Jan. 12.-(Special
Correspondence)-T present heavy
demand upon the city's pocket book
has caused a great deal of looking
around on the part of the councilmen
and one of the results has been the
discovery that the city has been pay
ing county road taxes for years when
such tax is in violation of a provision
of the city charter. The councilmen
say that they are going to enforce the
charter in the future and also try to
recover the amount already paid to
the county.
The county levy has been made,
heretofore under the general law pro-
viding for the taxation of all property
in the county for road improvement
purposes. The fact has been over
looked that the charter of the city
exempts city property from this tax
upon the grounds stated above.
This question is one of vital interest
as it affects both the city and the
county, and it will come up for set
tlement this week in the meetings OF
the city council and the county court.
The county levy will be made by the
county courty when it convenes on
Wednesday.
