BIGGER, BETTER and Buster Than EVER


of location of a proposed line of cleo
trio railroad from Pressure Isle to and
through the town of Mapleton to the
town of Washburn, joining the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad at Washburn. A
hearing on the petition was held at
Bangor last week, the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad Co. appearing in
opposition.
In rendering their decision the COM
missionors state that the railroad COM
pany by it's petition asks the commits
sioners to change the entire line and
the entire location approved six years
ago, and that if this is done it will 10
cate the electric railroad entirely out
side of the streets and put it entirely
upon private land, which would in their
opinion not only be a violation of Sec
ton II of Chapter SO of the Revised
Statutes, but also without any author
ity of the court which decreed only
that the commissioners might approve
the location on file at their Office six
years ago. which they did not then
approve.
That part of the new location OF
which the commissioners approve and
decree that the location may be so
changed is embraced between the fol-
lowing points: Commencing on the pro-
posed new location at Station 1913
and following the new location to a
point on the land of Jesse Grouse be-
tween Station 362 +16.6 and Station 36S
+35.4.
In making this change in the loca-
ton the railroad company will be al

changes at the points of intersection
as will be convenient to connect the
new location with the old location. The
commissioners further say: Upon the
other portions of the present location
we allow no change, believing that the
surface of the highway can easily be
reduced to grades that will not be ex-
cessive for a street railroad
Renuiyiticn papers were obtained
Saturday from Governor Fernald by
an inspector of the New York police
department for Moses SwartZ, who is
wanted in that city for forgery and
robbery. Swartz who is also known as
Siteman, was arrested at Portland a
few days ago at the request of the New
York police department which claimed
at that time that he had passed bo-
gus check for $3.50. Chief Dresser of
Portland notified the New York Off
Gals that Swartz was being held there
hut no one arrived at Portland to take
him back to New York. After four days
Swartz decided that he would make a
fight and he engaged an attorney. He
was brought before Judge Hill of the
Portland municipal court and admitted
to bail in the sum of 5000. 1t is now
said that SWartz is wanted for passing
worthless checks to the amount OF
$4,000 Had it been so stated at first, the
Portland police officials say the bail
would have been fixed at $4,000 instead
of 5000. Swartz is still at large.
