LIQUOR CASES, Horace E. Rand, formerly of
Kingman and Bangor was held by Judge Rog-
ers in the police court last Thursday on two
cases in the sum of $500 each, and for want of
sureties was ordered committed to the county
Jail, where he is still held. These cases were
for single sale of intoxicating liquor and for
seizure of liquor from his boarding place. The
seized liquors were of the same brand and size,
pints, as that which was sold. 1t is alleged
that Rand sold liquor about the streets shortly
after the Belfast fair last year, and that he
was then warned and left town. He came
back about July 4th and was reported to the
sheriff, July 9Th, as having returned and en-
gagged in his old business. Warrants were at
once taken with the above result. 80. Ed. H.
Littlefeld of Thorndike, living near Brooks,
was taken before the police court July 18th by
Deputy Sheriff F. A. Littlefeld for having sold
quantity of cider to Simon Waning. The re-
spondent was found guilty and sentenced to
serve 80 days in Jail and pay fine of $50 and
costs, and in default of payment of fine and
costs to serve 80 days additional, from which
sentence he appealed and furnished bail in the
sum of 5000 for appearance in September be-
fore the supreme court.
AN EXCURSION TO CRESCENT BEACH. One of
the most successful excursions of the season
was made last Sunday by the steamer Castine
to Camden and Crescent Beach. The weather
conditions, although unpromising at the start,
were ideal both going and coming. While there
was a suspicion of fog in the air and the outer
islands partially or wholly obscured
wraps were not needed at any time on the
down tri p and on the return the sun was OBJ
scured and the wind had veered to the north
east. On arrival at the Beach Landlord Smith
was on the wharf and assured the party that
he was prepared to give them all they wanted
to eat, and there was certainly no lack of the
staple articles for shore dinner; but there
were more walters outside of the dining
room than in it and all were not patient wait
ers. An orchestra rendered some lively music
during the dinner and one of the party re-
marked that the catchy tunes were an appe-
tier. Two Belfast parties were met at the
Beach, who had made the trip in the cars of
Virgil L. Hall and William A. Mason. The lat
ters running time from Belfast was one hour
and a half, and he was not trying for record.
Warden Bernes o. Norton and family were
asC at the Beach in their car. The party on
the Castine numbered over one hundred, with
large percentage of ladies and small children.
The Castine now has an experienced steward
who may be called on for coffee. etc, and he
has on sale cigars, peanuts and soft drinks
When the Castine advertises an excursion get
aboard and you will be we'll cared for.
