SADIE BIRDIEVY
is ORDERED TO
LEAVE THE CITY
Authorities Tell Her to Quit 26
Pleasant Street by Thurs
day Night

While the visit of the police last
Saturday night to the house at 26
Pleasant street, occupied by Sadie
Bird, who claims to be Mrs. Ira Levy,
which visit was cstensibly for the pur-
pose of searching the house for intox-
icatlng liquors, as was called for in
the warrant, but was in reality for
another purpose, was not productive
Of immediate results that would war
rant action by the municipal court, it
was destined to be followed by an ac-
ton on the part of the city officials
that must have been entirely unsus-
pected by the parties connected with
the house in question.
This action was taken Monday fore
noon when a conference was held at
about 11.30 in the municipal judges
room at City hall by Mayor Newbert,
Judge Lancaster and City Marshal
Colgan, and at which the Bird wo-
man was present by request. The con-
ference was private so far as details
were concerned but at its conclusion
the statement was given out that the
Bird woman had been given until next
Thursday night, Oct. Is, to sell her
furniture and to get out of town, and
il might be added that when the
house is again occupied the atmos-
phere surrounding it will be of a
much more savory nature.
The action of the city authorities is
enc that is sure to receive the en-
phatic approval of every respectable
citizen of Augusta.

A meeting of the junior department
was held at o'clock Monday eve
ming, under the leadership of Mr. Mer-
rill. boys secretary of the association.
The purpose of the meeting was to
divide the junior members of the as
soeiation into groups, each group I'M
der the guidance of an older voIun-
teer leader with the idea that each
group may have its own organization
which will compete with the other
groups in various activities, such as
pool, billiards, ping pong, debating and
so on. 1t is expected that the constant
increase of new members will soon
bring the number of such groups to

FRANK C. HOWE
HELD FOR THE
SUPERIOR COURT
Harry, Stark Pays for Tearing
Officers Clothing While
Being Arrested

. g
Frank G. Howe was arraigned be-
fore The municipal court Monday
morning to answer to the charge of
jumping board bill at the Lawrence
House, of which A. C. Cookson is the
proprietor, on which charge it will be
remembered the respondent was ar
rested Saturday afternoon on a war
rent sworn out by the complainant.
The respondent was represented by
Samuel Titcomb and entered a plea
OF not guilty.
1t came out in the testimony that
the respondent and Miss Frances Red
man (now his wife) went to the Law
rense House June 20 of the current
year and were assigned rooms, and
that he registered his name in the
book kept for the purpose; that the
proprietor registered her name; that
the respondent left the house July 10
without paying the board bill and left
the young woman there; that she re-
manned at the house for a few days
longer and also left; that the bill due
for her board was paid in September
by her father, DR.. F. L. Redman of
Corinna, through her brother.
Both the respondent and his wife
were sworn as witnesses and she took
the stand. In the course of her testi-
mony it came out that she and the
respondent were married Aug. % at
Woodstock, Vt
Mr. Cookson, the complainant, was
subject to a rigid cross examination
by the counsel for the defence, who, in
his argument to the court. claimed
that the board bill in question had
never been demanded of the respon-
dent, but at the conclusion of the
hearing the court found probable
cause to hold the respondent in the
sum of 800 for appearance at the
January term of the superior court,
which being furnished he was re-
leased from custody.
Another case which was considered
during the forenoon was that of Harry
Stark, who claimed to belong at
North Pittston ant Who was in court
to answer to the charge of i1toXlca-
ton. Mr.. Stark's case was of no ordl-
nary nature, inasmuch as WREN he
was arrested Saturday night he gave
the officers who took him one OF the
liveliest few minutes of their Official
career and came near reducing ON
Ger Corbett to his white garments, all
of which occurred when the prisoner
made two wild jumps from the auto
mobile in which he was being taken TO
the police station.
When arraigned Monday morning
Stark pleaded guilty and added that
he could remember nothing of what
occurred at the time Of his arrest. All
that he could remember, according 20
his story to the court, was that he
had secured two quarts of $2-a-gallop
whiskey from a Boston concern and
coming to Augusta hired room to
nave a good time; that some OF his
friends came. in and had some OF the
nauor, but beyond that point he re-
membered nothing. The respondent
paid the sum Of so for repairs TO Of
fcer Corbett's Uniform and the case
was continued for sentence.
