PLANTING A GAMMA BED.

From foot to foot and one-half
each way is the proper distance apart
for Gamma plants, according to the vigor
Of the plant. If you have d round bed
start with one plant in the center, put
six in the first circle surrounding this
center plant, and for each subsequent
row increase the number. of plants by
six. IL the rows and the plants in the
rows are equal distances apart this
rule is never failing one for circular
beds, whether the planting distance be
six inches or two feet.
After the plants begin to make rapid
growth they should never be allowed to
become very dry. They are great
lovers of moisture and the supply of
water should be in accordance with the
heat. Do not be lavish in watering
when the temperature is below sixty
degrees or before the plants have
reached stage of active growth.
The Long Spurred coIumbine.
Obtain plants of this flower from the
florist If you want fine display this
season. The columbine starts growth
early in the season and does well in
all soils. 1t requires little attention ex-
cept to be kept free from weeds. The
long spurred type are artistic, and
pleasing in color ranging from white
through various shades of light pink
blue and yellow with often a combina-
ton of two or more colors. Remove
seed pods as fast as formed to extend
the Towering season.

GIGANTIC TURTLE
IMPERILS BATHER
GRABS FOOT or HARRY M'WHoR.
TER WHILE he rs. WADING
AND DRAGS HIM UNDER.

st. Paul, June 2.-The vicious bite
Of a gigantic mosscovered turtle put
an unceremonious end to fishing
trip by three young men Of st. Paul
Sunday, and almost cost the life of
one of the members of the party.
Harry McWhorter, a clerk at the
commercial club, living at S57 Ash
land avenue, was the victim of the
turtles attack. Fred w. Grahame,
clerk in the Office of County Auditor
Krahmer, and AL Minor were the other
members of the party.
The trio were at Weichselbaum' S
summer resort, just below Lakeville,
on the st. Paul railroad, and were
varying their fishing experiences by a
swim in the lake. McWhorter had
waded out until he was in water al
most up to his neck. when he was
suddenly seized by something at the
bottom of the lake. At first he thought
that it was a snag, but it seemed to
pull on him and suddenly he felt a
sharp bite on his left foot and he was
dragged from his feet and under the
water. Before he disappeared ne let
out sharp yell Of pain.
Grahame and Minor neither of
whom had not yet shed their clothes,
leaped into the water to his assistance.
Grahame grabbed McWhorter around
the body and the two men dragged
him to the shore, the turtle still cling
ing tenaciously to his foot 1t was not
until the turtle was killed that it's
Jaws were loosened.
The men did not anticipate any
from hfp he IL
roughly dressed, but within two hours
sharp pains developed and the toe
swelled until McWhorter and his
friends took fright.
Difficult Finding Doctor.
They decided to take McWhorter,
who was now suffering terribly, to
Lakeville, but as no trains run to
Lakeville from the resort on Sunday,
they were forced to commander a
hand car from a section boss. With
the assistance of several volunteers
they rugged a place for the injured
man ON the car and made a dash for
Lakeville to get McWhorter to a doc
tor.
Just outside Of Lakeville the first
obstacle was encountered. A freight
train, almost quarter of mile long,
had stopped awaiting orders. With
the assistance of several railroad men
they carried the injured man and the
hand car around the freight train and
dashed into Lakeville. The town ply
stefan was answering a call in the
country
Six miles away is Pennington on a
down grade from LakeViIle Returning
to their hand car, the men made dash
at full speed to Pennington arriving
in twenty-one minutes. A doctor could
not be found
BY this time McWhorter's foot was
badly swollen and his friends were
desperate. On a chance they hailed a
fishing party passing in a carriage and
found among the party DIR. Rawlin
Eyenlied of Mason City, Ia.
DIR. Eyenlied dressed the foot and in
a few hours the swelling had dimin-
ished and McWhorter was resting
easily.
McWhorter was able to return on
the evening train to ST. Paul, accom-
panied by Minor. Grahame returned
to the lake and brought the turtle to
st. Paul. The turtle was 231s inches
long and 14% inches across the back
1t weighed 81 pounds and ounces.

REsCRlPTs FROM LAW COURT.
Hancock and Cumberland County Gas
es Decided.

The following rescripts have been re-
ceived from the law court, one beng
a decision in the case of Charlotte l..
Jones VS.. the Maine Central Railroad
Co, and the second the case of julius
G.. Jensen VS.. Harry H. Camel:
Charlotte 7. Jones VS.. Maine Central
Railroad Co. Rescript Cornish, j.
In an action on the case brought
under r. S. c. 80, Sec. 73, to recover
damages caused by fire on the plain
tiff's land alleged to have been set
by a locomotive on the Ellsworth
branch of the defendant company, the
iurv having rendered verdict for the
plaintiff and the defendant having filed
motion for new trial and exceptions.
Held,
|. That the question involved was
one of reasonable inference from all
the facts and circumstances and in
a case of this nature the evidence
should he of such character that
a reasoning mind will see the connec-
ton between cause and effect.
9. That the jury We're warranted in
adopting the plaintiffs theory that the
fire was set from locomotive. instead
of the defendants theory that it was
communicated from bog fire ad-
mitted to have been smouldering for
nearly month.
No eve saw the spark or cinder that
started the blaze. but all the tests
which should be applied in such case
combine to trace it to the smokestack
| and not to the fire in the bog. The
extreme dryness of the season, the
| Il; Of hn y,-inl bo nanacitV of
| the defendants engines to set fires
along the road. the large number that
| had been admittedly set by engines for
several weeks prior to the time in
question, the absence of any set by
| the bog fire. the distance from the
| track at which fires had caught, the
| discovery Of this fire within half or
| three quarters of an hour after the
| passage of the train, its location ana
| condition when first observed. its near
| hess to the railroad and it's distance
of more than a quarter of mile
from the bog fire the two fires burn
| ing independently. with a clear space
of more than 1900 feet between the
| two. the green land that partially
| saparted them. the smothered and
! sluggish manner in which the bog fire
continued to burn. and the rapidity
with which and direction in which
| the new fire was driven over the plain
| tiff's land and the lots of adjoining
owners, all these facts were shown by
| evidence that compels the same con-
viction in the mind of the court as it
did in the mind of the jury.
3. The defendant having introduced
expert evidence that engines on this
branch, equipped as they were with a
wire netting over the smokestack,
could not in the opinion of the wit
nesses throw a spark beyond 30 feet
from the rail, it was not error to per-
| nit the plaintiff in rebuttal to intro
duce testimony of specific instances
where fires had been set by these en-
gines at distances varying from IS to
l52 feet. The objections raised by the
defendant that the evidence was too
| remote in time and place, and that the
conditions were not shown to be SINH

which this action is brought, go to the

man Gooch said to Witness: Il think
the man is sick. We had better take
him out in the air.
Witness on cross examination testi-
fled that nothing was said that he
heard on the car or in the crowd about
the man being drunk. Witness called
DR.. Pineau. who was going by. Heard
DIR. Pineau say the man was sick.
Did not hear him tell anybody that
this was a case for the city physician.
Elmer H. Gooch. the motorman on
the car with Blithen. testified that he
told thu conductor that he thought
Pooler was sick and that fresh air
would do him good. Witness on cross
examination admitted that he told Of
ficer Libby that he had put man off
the car in front of the Bay View no.
tel, who was drunk and he had better
take him home.
Attorney Clair-"Why did you tell
Libby that the man was drunk"
Witness-'I thought from the begin
ming that he was"
Witness further testified that the
man was carried all the way from
the car until he was placed on the
ground.
Elton Aver testified to helping the
conductor and the motorman take
Mr.. PoGler from the car. He was car
ried as carefully as he could be con-
sidering his weight. Witness heard
discussion that the man was sick.
Could not remember, hearing discus
sion between two officers as to wheth
er the man was drunk or not. or

should be locked up.
Frank w. Manson, night editor of
the Waterville Sentinel testified that
he was waiting for a car and saw Il
crowd gathered near the Lockwood
block. When witness got where the
crowd vas he saw man lying on his
back on the ground He opened his
eyes and tried to speak, but was I'M
able to do so. The car waited about 10
or Is minutes.
Xavier Burgoyne. a special officer at
Waterville, testified to seeing the
crowd gathered around Mr.. Pooler. He
was lying on the ground on his back.
Witness spoke to him and called him
bv name. john He did not answer
ard witness helped get the man into a
team and get him home. He was
obliged to hold him on the seat for he
could not sit up.
Dr. Carroll w. Abbott of Waterville
testified that the symptoms of apo
plexy and acute alcoholism might be
mistaken one for the other Witness
thought it would be better in a case
like that of Mr. POoler to take the man
from the car into the open air as the
motion of the car would aggregate his
condition. Witness testified that If Il
man were stricken with apopleXy be-
tween ) and $50 in the afternoon and
died at 40 the next morning there
would be but little conscious suffering.
Witness on DISCRIMINATION al.
mitted that there were different de-
erees of shock. Witness had known
medical men to mistake apopleXy for
acute alcoholism. Complete rest, the
nlacing Of the patient on the back. and
fresh air were necessary in the treat
ment az apoplexy.
Justice Savage in charging the
Jury informed them that the issues in
the case were whether the conductor
and rotorman had used improper
force in ejecting the man from the car
or had failed to see that he was cared
for after he was put from the car,
and whether any treatment that ne
received from the employees of the
Electric Road had aggravated his suf-
fering.

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body
Make You III, Languid and
Depressed.

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life giving albumen from the blood in
to the urine. and the substitution of
poisonous uric acid that goes broad
cast through the system, sowing the
seeds of disease. Loss of albumen
causes weakness, languor. depression.
Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain,
nervousness. nausea, cricks in the
back. gravel and kidney stones. The
proper treatment is kidney treat
ment, and the best remedy is Doan's
Kidney Pills. Great Augusta cures
prove it.
John Larrabee, 2s Page St. Augusta,
Me-. says: For two or three years I
was afflicted with kidney complaint
I had considerable backache but the
chief symptom of my trouble was a
distressing and annoying weakness OF
my kidneys. The kidney secretions
were too frequent in passage and
greatly disturbed my rest at night
Hearing many good reports about
Doan's Kidney Pills, ! was led to try
them, procuring my supply at Willis
R. Partridge's drug store. In short
time 1 noticed an improvement and
continued taking the remedy until the
backache ceased and the kidney secre-
tons were restored to a natural con-
dition. 1t is a pleasure to recommend

Motions and exceptions overruled.

Julius c. Jensen VS.. Harry H. Can
nell Rescript. Spear, J.
This is an action of trespass against
an officer. alleging the illegal attach
ment by him of personal property. The
facts are these: The plaintiff was
baker. The 10Th day of June. 1909.
was Saturday. Upon this day in the
afternoon he had in stock in his place
of business six and one-half barrels
of -four. which he alleges were pro-
cured bv him and necessary for car
rying on his trade or business as a
baker. Between and o'clock in the
afternoon the defendant. deputy
sheriff, upon a writ properly issued.
with order to attach, entered the plain
tiffs place of business for the pur-
pose of making an attachment of per-
sonal property. Omitting the evidence
OF immaterial matters. which tran
spired while the officer was in the
plaintiffs shop. we may proceed upon
the theory assumed by the plaintiff
in the present action. that he at the
time of the attachment was the own
err If the flour attached The ad dam
mum in the writ upon which the de-
PENDANT was directed to attach was
$50: the value of the flour attached
is alleged by the plaintiff to have
been S7S25. There is also testimony
tending to show that the plaintiff,
while the officer was in the shop, re-
uuested him to attach goods other
than the flour, and offered him bond
as security in place of the attachment.
Upon this state of facts the plaintiff
claims that the attachment of the -four
made by the defendant was illegal in
three respects. /. Because the officer
was oppressive in refusing to attach
other goods or take bond. 2. Be
cause the attachment was excessive.
3. Because the property was exempt
under the provisions of r. S. Chap SO,
Sec. 81. Art. 6.
With respect to the first and second
contentious they may be dismissed
with the observation that there is no
adequate evidence upon which to sus-
tain them.
The third proposition, involving the
question of exemption. would present
a more difficult problem were 1t not
for the fact that the right of eXemp-
ton was not only not claimed but
expressly waived. The evidence clear
ly shows that the officer was author
lied to attach the flour and warned
only against attaching too much.
Exceptions overruleG.
