WOULD ABOLISH
HIGHWAY BOARD

a measure which have for its OBJ
ject the repeal OF the present high
way commission law and the substi-
tuition of a single commissioner who
will have n board of advisors will
be introduced in the next Legislature.
The proposed measure Will be urged
by the Denver Chamber of Commerce.
and that organization is enlisting aid
in all parts of the state to support
the bill.
Senator Horace I. DeLong today
received a copyi arthe' bin. 1t pro
vides for the appointment of high
way commissioner for a term OF six
years and an auditing and advisory
board to assist him. A secretary is
provided for who shall be n civil en-
gineer and a practical road builder.
This commissioner, it is planned,
would have complete control of the
apportionment ior road and bridge
work and have the entire control of
the disposition OF the state highway
funds.
The measure also proposes that all
the pork barrel funds he given to
the commissions to distribute, and
that, in addition, $4,000 be annu-
ally appropriated to the same use.
The bill is rather a long one and
contains many other proposals. 1t
is not believed locally that the bill
will meet with favor at the hands
of the western slope representatives
and senators, although they have not
been polled on the subject.

BULLETS FLYING OVER
IN KENDUSKEAG
One Riddles Mrs. Mckinney's Cloak
Sheriff Investigates Rum Inspired
FuSiIade.

Bullets were flying across the high
way in the town of Kenduskeag on
Sunday afternoon, and one of the lead
en- missiles found a human mark. All
that prevented serious if not fatal
result was the fact that the bullet had
spent it's force, having coming from a
considerable distance.
Mr. and Mrs. Mckinney of Kendus-
keag accompanied by their daughter,
were driving along the main road
about three quarters of a mile from
the village at $50 Sunday afternoon,
when, as they passed farm house,
they heard shots and afterwards saw
some young men firing revolvers in
the dooryard. The reports frightened
the horse, and Mr.. Mckinney whipped
up and got past the scene of the fusi-
lade as quickly as he could, as bullets
were flying in all directions.
When, upon arriving home, Mrs. Nc
Kinney took off her wraps, she was
startled by the discovery that there
was a bullet hole in her coat. For a
moment it was supposed that the bull
let had merely passed through the
loose folds of the garment and sped
on its way, but when Mrs. Mckinney
removed her sweater a lump of lead
big enough to have killed a bull moose
dropped to the floor.
Mr. Mckinney thought 1t was case
for the authorities to investigate, and
sent word to A. l.. Spratt, former
deputy sheriff, who notified Sheriff
White.
Sheriff White, accompanied by
Police Captain ODonohue, went out in
the 4 o'clock car and began an in
vestigation. On account of darkness
it was impossible to accomplish much
so further action was postponed when
after a conference in Bangor with
some of those acquainted with the
facts, Sheriff White and a deputy will
make another trip to Kenduskeag. 1t
Is said that the men firing the revolt
vers were recognized by Miss Nc
Kinney, and that they were all under
the influence of liquor.

News From Taunton, Mass.

The following clipping from re-
cent issue of the Taunton (Mass.)
Gazette will be of interest to many
Somerset county people:
Major Norris o. Danforth will be
the choice of MayorElect Nathaniel
J. w. Fish, as chief of police, and
will accept the appointment. Major
Danforth was not a candidate for the
position but was sought after by the
mayor-elect as the best man for the
place. Major Danforth is no new
figure in public life in the city, having
been connected with the local militia
in several capacities for 20 or more
years. His merit has won him steady
promotion in the Massachusetts volun-
teer forces, and it is freely stated that
his grasp of military matters places
him second to none, in the opinion of
those high in authority in the first
regiment"
Major Danforth's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin Danforth were both
natives of North Arson and his wife
will be remembered by a wide circle
of friends as Miss Vada Thompson of
Skowhegan.

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK
Interpreter Enlightens Court and Jury
As To What May Be Expected.

Justice Bird and the jury got at
least something of an idea what hap
pens when Greek meets Greek, during
the trial of the damage suits of Akmak-
ian VS.. Oskorian, with the assistance
of an interpreter, in the supreme judi
cial court Friday afternoon. From the
testimony it appeared that MIR. and
Mrs. Akmakjian, who live in Madison,
spent one afternoon last fall pulling
driftwood from the Kennebec river.
After they had accumulated quite a
supply, Oskorian appeared and put up
the bluff that the wood belonged to
him. Akmakjian couldn't see it that
way at all, and Oskorian departed
after making sundry threats. When
Akmakiian went to work for the night
shift in the pulp mill, Oskorian with
several allies stole forth to COM
mandeer the driftwood. They were in.
terrupted by Akmakjian, Jr., and
thereupon proceeded to give the boy a
mauling. Then his mother appeared,
caught a good sized stone full OF
energy in the ribs, with result that
two of them had to be mended. She
brought suit for the personal injury,
and her spouse asked damages for
the temporary loss of his wife. The
Jury awarded $139 damages on the first
suit and $136 on the second. w. B..
Brown appeared for the plaintiffs and
Bernard Gibbs for the defendant.
