Of Judge Harding in the Bangor munich
pal court Tuesday after he had heard the
evidence in the two serious charges
against Daniel A. Mcdonald of South
Brewer as result of raid made by the
Sturgis deputies a week ago Sunday at
the South Brewer hotel. Mcdonald was
first arraigned upon the charge of inter-
fering with and obstructing an officer in
the performance of his duty and hear
ing was held. When the respondent had
been discharged upon this charge, the
court Immediately freed him in the case
alleging participation in a riot and I'M

TODD farmer, and recently a well-knOwn
ice dealer of Saco, is defendant in a suit
for 5000 for alienation of the affections
of the wife of Victor Durant. Durant
and Mckeen are neighbors living on Lin
coin street, Saco. McKeen was arrested
Tuesday night at his home by Deputy
Sheriff Stone, and soon afterwards gave
bail in the sum of $1,000, the sureties being
furnished by c. l.. Bachelor, cashier of
the Saco National Bank, and Frank w.
Nutter. cashier of the Saco Savings Bank
The writ is returnabe at the supreme
court in York county on the third Tues
day of September. The defendant in the
suit is a middle aged man who ALWAYS
has borne a splendid reputation and the
news of the suit will cause great surprise
il. the cities of Biddeford and Saco.
1t is understood that authorities in
Cumberland county and city of Port
land have decided that they will en-
force the PrOhibitory law and have
requested reinforcement Commission
to withdraw its deputies The Enforce
ment Commission has always stood
ready to withdraw the Enforcement
deputies whenever requested by local
authorities because under the present
law the county has to foot the bills
and the State avoids so far as possible
the duplication of salaries and expenses
for enforcement. The story goes that
some of the leading citizens desire
Portland to make as good a record as
Bangor has in local enforcement and
the Enforcement Commission will
withdraw in order to permit them to
demonstrate this. A prominent citizen
who is we'll informed on the subject,
says that the Enforcement Commission
will undoubtedly return to Cumberland
county if there is any FAILURE on the
part of local authorities to keep up the
work. or any evidence of lack of good
faith.

New York-The course of the steel
industry over the remainder of the year
will depend largely on ability of rail-
roads to raise money to carry on nee
essary construction and improvement,
work. The railroads are credited with
consuming between 80 and 40 per cent
of all steel manufactured. Railroad
buying is confined largely to steel for
cars and locomotives. steel rails and
structural steel.
Railroad interests have no reason
to complain so far as steel prices are
concerned. Their expenses per ton
of steel consumed have decreased rath-
er than increased since organization
of the Steel Corporation. United
States steel will reveal net of not much
over SIT, 900, 900 in the first half of the
current year. Shipments to consumers
will probably be larger than in any
corresponding period since organiZa-
lion. Under conditions similar 1906
