Will C. Geers of the lishoming &c
Capital-Democrat is in a pickle. In
the last issue of his paper Mr.. Geers
says that he suffered the idea to
penetrate his thinking apparatus
that he only wanted to pay for what
lights and power were used in the
CD office. To be sure that this
was being done he installed meter
in said office Now, he says, he is
lying awake nights trying to figure
out "what the devil a kilowatt is
and how much it IS Any person
or persons who NAV be able to en-
tighten Editor Geers will gain his
everlasting good will. Anyone here
know what a kilowatt is"

Packard Back
In County Jail.

Robert Packard is back again in the
Kennebee county Jail, where he will
be obliged to serve nearly a year of
unexpired jail sentences in connection
with infractions of the prohibitory
law. Packard was captured, Monday
night, in the vicinity of Togus, after
an exciting hunt by Deputy Sherffs
Alden Morang of Chelsea and Martin
Burns of Gardiner, who on Tuesday
morning, returned the prisoner to the
county Jail.
Packard. who has been one of the
most notorious pocket peddlers in the
Togus section was in June of last year
given a 4-months Jail sentence and
required to furnish a peace bond of
$500. Being unable to furnish the re-
quired peace bond he was ordered
committed for year, this sentence to
begin upon the expiration of his pre-
vious sentence.
He escaped from jail. Oct. 81, 1911,
by walking out of the back door of the
jail workshop at time when he was
thought to be in line with the other
prisoners in the Jail. He completely
vanished at the time and the officers
were unable to obtain a clue to the
fugitive. The prediction made by the
officers who knew his habits best that
he would sooner or later reappear up
on his old stamping ground was borne
out by the events of Monday night.
