pearance."

unoccupied, both families being out Of

From Rockland sources comes the
story that some of the inhabitants of
Stonington, not satisfied with hav-
ing lost their fight for separation from
Hancock county and annexation to
Knox In the Maine legislature two
years ago, will make another attempt
at Augusta during the coming winter
to secure relief from what they say
are the present intolerable conditions
which surround their attendance at
court at Ellsworth. They have a new
plan this time which they believe will
disarm opposition, namely, to have
the islands south OF Eggemoggin
Reach placed under the Jurisdiction Of
Knox county courts. This will enable
them to attend court at Rockland
with much less expense and with
much less difficulty. 1t will mean a
saving to Hancock county. they argue,

the trial of criminal cases from the
Stonington section of the county, and
will mean vastly less expense for such

as have to engage In civil litigation.
They will still politically be a part OF

decision fully sustained the govern
ment in its fight begun over year age
