The case to come up for trial at the
opening of the kennebec county Su-
prone judicial court Friday morning
was that Of Wilbur f. Stevens and
Harry w. Stevens of Winthrop against
George w. Parsons of Medford, Mass,
involving an alleged breach of contract
i'll the transfer of property in Win
throp. An equity suit brought by
George w. Parsons against Wilbur F.
Stevens and Harry w. Stevens, the
plaintiffs in the other case, restraining
them from bringing the suit at law,
was tried in. connection with the law
suit. The ad damnun named in the
law suit was $1,000. Leroy T. Carleton
of Winthrop appeared for Wilbur F.
Stevens and Harry w. Stevens of VIM
thror and Joseph Williamson and Lewis
A. Burcigh of Augusta for George w.
Parsons. The case went on trial before
a drawn jury of which f. II. Cook of
VassalborO was foreman.
Attorney Carleton in opening alleged
that the defendants purchased of the
plaintiff parcel Of real estate, receiv-
ing a Warrantee deed of the same and
that prior to giving them the deed the
plIil,l'l Ildu gwen 10 Muuue VI. Jones
of Winthrop an unrestricted and unde-
fined right of way across and over the
western side Of the land conveyed to
them by said plaintiffs, the alleged
breach of contract being the right of
way decided to Jones.
The bill in equity which was read in
court, alleges that it was a mistake
Of the Scrivener who made the deed
that no mention was made of the right
of way such as is described in the
Jones deed, but that the defendants
in the equity action knew of the exist
ence Of the right of way, which had
been used uninterruptedly for SO years
or more, that contrary to the interests
of both defendants and plaintiff an ac-
ton of law had been commenced
against the plaintiff. The bill asks
that the defendants be restrained from
bringing the suit and that the deed
may be amended by adding to the de
scription of the property conveyed, the
right of way
Attorney Carleton argued that the
stevens property was greatly damaged
by TIE travel across the right Of way
heavy teams passing by in plain view
of the house and denied the existence
in previous years of any such right Of
way as decided to Jones.
The case being a double header" At

GREAT RECORD
IN RA|[ROAD|NG
ST. PAUL AND MILWAUKEE EX-
PENDS MORE THAN 500, 900. 900
IN PACIFIC COAST EXTENSION.

Never before in the history of rail-
roads was great building project
carried out so quietly as the Pacific
coast extension of the st. Paul road.
In this great undertaking, which
means so much to the Pacific North
west more than 100000, 900 is being
expended with as little fuss as an or
binary business enterprise would
make in expanding a few thousand
dollars. The St. Paul road is not
coming into a country that needs the
aid of the promoter or the land agent.
In timber alone there is almost COM
potency for the new line, for the ST.
Paul management has given assur-
ance that not fewer than $4,000 car
loads will be given it the first year
after the work has been completed.
One of the wonderful facts regard
ing the construction of this new trans
continental line, which will stretch
from Chicago and the Twin cities by
the way of Butte, Mont, to Seattle
and Tacoma, is the thoroughness with
which it is being constructed 1t is
not generally known, for example,
that over the 500 miles of mountain
stretches electricity is to be used as
the motive power, and the engines
will be 2O0-ton electric motors.
Down the sides of the Bitter Root
mountains are pouring a sufficient
number of streams to furnish abun-
dant power for all of the electric mo-
tors which the st. Paul will need to
handle its trains over the mountain
division. These streams are to be
harnessed at the cost of millions. The
boldness of conception aud the unob-
trusive way in which the work is be-
ing executed challenge admiration.
Through the Businesses of the Bitter
Root range a tunnel $3.50 feet long
is being constructed by electrical pow
er, and through it will be operated
trains hauled by motors. One end of
this tunnel will open in the state of
Montana and the other will land the
traveller in Idaho, and it's grade will
not exceed .02 of 1 per cent.
In general the work on the west
end of the road between Butte and
Tacoma is nearly finished on some
of the divisions. but the long tunnels
and the heavy fills will take some
time to complete. Rails are now laid
in five different sections, but the
track is not continuous for more than
100 miles. On the Seattle-Tacoma
line the track has been finished from
Black River junction to Sumner.
East of Seattle the road is completed
for a distance of Is miles, and work
over the Snoqualmie pass of the Cas-
cades is being pushed. On one divi-
sion there are not less than sixty
fills to be made of an average depth
of seventy feet, and the road between
Black River and the tunnel will cost
probably $4,000 mile.
Through the st. Paul pass, in the
Bitter Root mountains, work is fur
Their along; the grading is completed
and the bridges are built. In Seattle
the terminal work is scarcely begun.
In view of the fact, however, that the
greater part of the extension has been
done during a time of financial de-
preston, the work in general is a
marvel in the annals of railway con-
struction.

Academy Authorities Defer
Their Answer to the
army.
WOULD NOT HAVE
TAKEN SAME ACTION
Ffad Midshipman Wilson Died the
Date Would Have Been
Filled.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. H.
Late information at t he Naval
Academy makes It apparent that
there will be a great effort here to
save the Army-Navy game
Though not wishing to appear
lacking in proper feeling on account
of the sad death of Cadet Byrne, of
the Army team, the Naval Academy
authorities have decided to defer a
full answer TO the telegram of
Superintendent Scott suggesting the
cancellation of the game, and the
matter has been referred to the
Naval Athletic Association.
This can be done without the ap-
pearance of ungraciousnesS on the
part of the Naval Academy, as the
Army-Navy game, having received
the official sanction of the War and
Navy Departments, would have to
obtain departmental action in order
to cancel it. This matter has been
put before the Navy Department by
Superintendent BoWyer, and in the
meantime it will be considered by
the Navy Athletic Association.
ThorouqhIv Discussed.
While, OF course. no naval ofhcer
would be willing to be quoted as IN any
way critieising the action Of the Military
Academy. but on NE contrary there is
8 fun sympathy with the feeling which
underlies IT. 1t is easy to see that the
general feeling at the Academy is 1hat
the Annapolis institution would not have
taken such action under similar circum-
stances. In fact the matter has been
thoroughly discussed in connection with
the case OF Midshipman Wilson. who
was injured IN such a similar manner a
little over two weeks ago
Navy Thinks Differently.
The general feeling has been that the
Army and Navy game would not be can
celed by the naval authorities even
should young Wilson die. There IS no
lack OF feeling in this attitude but at
the bottom Of it is the idea that footbaT
is not sport merely. but an important
means in the training OF young officers
OF both services. as developer Of
manly and soldierly qualities.
Compared to Target Practice.
As the profession Of arms carries with
il constant exposure to serious accident
and death. Il s. not thought best by most
OF those here to allow such occurrences
10 interfere WITH any Of the routine of
training. The manner of treating acct
dents during target practice is cited as
a parallel case. Every thing that is pos
sibIe Is done for the wounded. and dead
are removed. and the target practice
goes on as before. the object being 10
TX upon both officers ana men that
such things are an Incident OF their
service. Regarding football not as a
sport but as part OF their professional
training. much the same reasoning Is
applied 10 The present circumstances.
With the exception of the case Of
Earl y. Wilson. of the outcome OF
which nothing can be said definitely
at present. football at the Naval Acad-
emy has never caused an accident
