'In these unusual circumstances.
and until the return of normal condi-

day Remain in Chicago

Fifty Hancock German reservists
who left Monday night for Chicago to
report for service in the Fatherland
may be forced to remain i'm this coun-
try indefinitely, because Of the absence

sui in Milwaukee and Chicago but rep
resentatives of the German govern
ment are in a quandary, awaiting or
ders from their ambassador for the

Relative to the situation, the Mil
waukee dispatch says:
The German reservists in Milwaukee
have been notified to report in writing
to the consul at Chicago. Twenty
eight clerks are in the consurs Office
there, in cargo of investigation Of re-
ports of men from five states. To pre-
vent fraud, every reservist is investi-
gated before funds are advanced for
passage to Germany. 1t is said that
there are some reservists who are APP
pea ling for funds with which they in
tend to have a good time.
Emil Wallber, consular agent in
Milwaukee. with offices in the Peerless
building, has been besieged with ques-
tions from reservists who have been
called to arms.
81 have received orders to do moth
ing but tell those who are liable for
service to report to the consul in Chi
cago." said Mr.. Wallber. Disposition
of the men will be made through thai
office.

The following rescripts in Aroostook
and Cumberland county cases have been
received by Clerk OF Courts Charles ".

ARoosTooK COUNTY.
Levi H. May VS.. Docite Liable. Re-
script King. J. -.
This action is a writ of entry to re-
cover a tract of land in the town of Fort
Kent, Aroostook county. The plaintiff
claims to own the westerly part of that
portion of lot IS south of the st. Francis
road, and the defendant owns the east
erly part thereof. Their ownerships adj
join and the real controversy between
the parties is the location of the line, ex-
tending from the St. Francis road south
erly TO the south line of lot IS, which
marks the eastern bound of the plaintiff S
land and the western bound of that of the
defendant.
The defendant fled a disclaimer as to
all the premises demanded except strip
1898 feet wide on the easterly side there
of, btween the two lines as claimed on
line, and as to that strip he pleaded null
disseisn.
The plaintiff introduced several deeds
of conveyance to himself, and to others
under whom he claimed, and also testl-
mony of surveyors and rested his case,
whereupon, on motion therefor, the court
directed verdict for the defendant and
the case is before this court on excep-
