Was Motorman on Express Car.

Chester ponnell, motorman of the ex-
press car testified that on the night before
Thanksgiving he ran the car into the South
Berwick car barn. arriving there about 8
o'clock.
Did not recall fixing the fire on that
run Had fixed hire within a week but had
noticed no hole in the door. Attention had
never been called 10 any hole in the door.
Heard no talk between Getehell aud Rob
nson as to the stove. When witness took
out the car he found the car sometimes
in the pit and sometimes outside the barn.
Witness was non-eommittal on cross,
examination by Atty. Williamson as to
whether he had ever said the stove did not
draw very well because there was no ISM
glass in the door Admitted there WAS a
time when the stove didn't draw very we'll.
Did not think it was the same fall. On
redirect, witness could not say whether
or not the same stove was in the express
car the fall before or not

Condition of Car Barn.

l.. II. McCray, general manager of
the Atlantic Shore Line Railway, was
the first witness called by the defence.
The South Berwick car barn, witness
testified. had two tracks With pits,
where there was heat and five tracks
without pits. The five tracks We're
generally used for storage purposes.
All the repair work on cars that We're
regularly running had to be done over
the pit. Witness had compiled with all
requests of TarboX Express Co. for
moving OF car of express matter. The
clock in the car barn at South Ber-
wick was punched every hour. The car
barn was fully equipped With water
tank, hose and chemical fire extin-
gtlishers. Hose was more than suffi-
cient to reach to the express car on
tire spur track. The stove in Car 10l
had been used two winters.
Witness on cross examination by
Atty. Williamson, testified that the
hose in the ear barn was in the pit
room and was used IN washing cars.
1t was larger than garden hose.

not be possible for the motorman Of

and come in conflict with the Inter
State Commerce act, If the express ar
was run into Dover ~ night. The only
inconvenience to The company would
be the paving of the motorman for an

Dover. Did not think that either of the
pit tracks would accommodate three
long cars. The passenger cars We're
usually left inside the barn after the
inspection and needful repairs had
been made.
Witness did not tell insurance men that
the stove had gone into the junk Beieyea

A SHELL GAME.

We are glad to notice that the
price-cutting print shop of this
county has at last had something
to say about printers prices.
Before 1T came under its
present management, divorce
proceedings were charged for at
legal rates, and would average
about ten to twelve dollars. That
paper cut the price to $500, and
does not get a line more of such
work, but is simply five to six
dollars short on every one it
publishes. Again, 1T cut the
price on candidate cards, but
does not get to print one card
more. People who want divorces,
and candidates should be able to
pay their way. We know of
other inSta noes where IT
has cut the price. For instance,
we are running ads at $50,
for which IT only charges
81. 90, and IT does not get
a line moro on account of cut
ting the price. 1t may be very
we'll, so long as the stock com
pany is willing to go down in it's
pocket to pay the expenses of
the paper, but we have our own
expenses to pay, and our work
must necessarily be figured on
the cost of production, not just
guessed off on the cost of blank
paper. We have to pay printers,
rents, taxes, for fuel, ice, lights,
have wear and tear to keep up,
have to pay for paper, inks,
freight, express and many other
things that have to BE- added to
the cost of the article before we
can make an intelligent estimate
on the cost of production. We
are glad To see TT wax
ing up.

From all present indications,
it seems that Taft will be the re-
publican nominee for president
at the Chicago convention, which
is as it should be. Roosevelt has
absolutely no claim upon the
American people; besides, he is
IL dangerous man to be in power,
and in the event republican
president is elected, the country
would be more safe under Taft.

This Man in Hard Luck

The other day a man drove in
to Lubbock from the west. He
was going east, or some place
where il rained. Said he had
been there three years, lost
three prospective crops. all his
money and it was still so dry
and hot that rooster couldn't
live and maintain his usual
chivalry. He is now water
bound in Lubbock and says
he'll be scratched if he knows
what to do. Dried and evapo-
rated for three years. then gets
water bound the first day he
trvs to leave. We suspect the
moral to this is that when he
started west he overdid the
thing. Lubbock is along about
the place Greeley meant when
he told those young fellows to
go west. +"
