and sugar and momentarily set on the
window stool, and when discovered by
Or. Hall was chewing 1t with apparent
great relish. She was made to vomit

that che will be well again shortly.

with manslanghter ia the first degree
for the killing m Frank r. 9ourd..
The case was taken up Wednesday of
last week, the first day being spent in

was presented the following day, rest
ing at 5 30 p. m, after the testimony
Of DIR. J. b. Hoist as to fhe post NOR

Arthur Lafond, as to the story told BY
Mccormick and Mrs. Gourd and
corroborative evidence by John Tin

A motion fo- dismissal OF the case
was denied and Louis Mccormick of

defense. His testimony differed some.
what from the story he told i'm
mediately after the crime. In court
he testified that on his return to camp

him, that Durham had told him to
desist and that he had gone about the
trying of fish an before the starting of
the argument that Durham had then
attempted to have Gourd 60 and sit
down but that the latter had said
mo, you sit down.; that Durham
had said You will hit a man that is
trying to make peace" and Gourd had
answered, "I'u get you'', and that
when he looked up he saw Gourd
stsgger and fall. He also told of how

morning when they were about to re-

passed away, whereupon they had
called the coroner In rebuttal the
prosecution put witness on the stand

The Maine election is in doubt.
Late returns indicate that the wet
majority has been reduced to 1853 in
the whole state. A recount will pro-
badly be required to settle the result.
Meanwhile there are prohibition state
laws that must be repealed before
saloons can be established. IF the
legislature should be called into ex-
traordinary session to pass a local
option law, the prohibitionists still
have the chance to vote on the adop-
ton or rejection of this law by the
referendum, all Of which will require
some time. Should saloons be es-
tablished the people of Maine will
speedily realize their mistake and
swing back into the old beaten path
The mere fact the liquor interests
could make such showing op.
posed to all the forces working tt
maintain the prohibitive policy is
an alarming indication of the power
these interests have in politics. Thu
democratic victory paved the wa.
for the resubmission of the question
The republican party brought tn
policy into disrepute in man.
places thru their failure of en-
forcing the law. To make any LAW
effective there must be men in offic'

of such law. Both old parties ar
hopelessly divided on the hquo
Question to the extent that the liquo
element has the upper hand.
