SMALL BOY HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
ON WATER STREET
Herbert Goodwin's Car Strikes
Croteau Boy Saturday Morn
ing-Iniuries Are Slight

A little boy, aged eight years. a son
of Mr. and Mrs. TREBLE Croteau Of 80
oxford street, was knocked down on
Water street at 7.30 Saturday morn
ing by being struck by an automobile
owned and driven by Herbert R. Good
win of Hallowell, but luckily the little
fellow was not seriously injured. The
accident occurred at a time when two
of the cars of the Lewiston. Augusta
&c Waterville Street Railway were
about to start on their half-hour trip,
one bound for Gardiner and the other
for the National Home at Togus, the
former car standing about in front of
the State Trust Co. building while the
latter was in front of the waiting
room.
Mr.. Goodwin was coming up from
Hallowell and was passing along on
the east side of Water street. Just be-
yond the waiting room and also Son
the east side of the street a team was
standing by the sidewalk. which left
no room for any vehicle to pass the
car on that side and Mr.. Goodwin
turned his auto to the left to cross
over to the west side of the street and
pass tile Gar, puC just tS
his auto was passing the middle OF the
street to turn north and 60 by the
Togus car the little Croteau boy ran
from behind the rear end of the Gar
diner bound car and directly against
the front of the automobile.
Mr.. Goodwin's car was messing slow
ly at the time and he stopped 1t as
soon as possible, but one Of the lamps
on the forward end of the car struck
the boy. knocking him down and to
the side of the street, and breaking the
lamp with which he came in contact
The little fello wwas picked up and
taken into the Red Cross pharmacy
and surgical aid was summoned. On
an examination being made no cuts
or bruises were found except a bump
on the head, and on being asked where
he was hurt the boy complained OF
pain In one leg Mr.. Goodwin took the
boy into his car and carried him to
his home on oxford street and the
boy was able to walk from the car to
the house. AS might be- expected the
youngster was somewhat famed by his
experience but it is not expected that
any serious results will follow. Satur-
day night he was reported as but little
the worse for his experience.

House on Thursday evening, Sept 10.
gives promise of affording the best
theatrical fare of the season. The
play comes to us after a season of
thirty-one weeks in Boston and the
critics of that city announced that it
was one of the most absorbing, thrill
ing and altogether delightful plays
which had reached their stage In
many a day. That the public en-
dorsed this opinion is evident by the
length of the engagement in that city
for without the enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the public no play could
ever so thoroughly smash a record as
Under Cover has done. The play is
nelodramatic in form and has to do
with smugglers and the secret service.
In addition to the thrills 1t is said that
Under Cover provides much laugh

LAW COURT
Decisions Handed DOwn~in An.

ANDRosCoGGIN COUNTY = Romeo
Ellie, pro amivs. Lewiston, Augusta &
Waterville Street Railway. Rescript,
Bird, J.
An action on the case to recover dam
ages for injuries sustained by the plain
tiff. a child of four years in alighting
from a moving car of defendant. The
verdict was for plaintiff and defendant
filed a motion for new trial
The plaintiff had paid no fare and 1t
may be legitimately inferred that he
did not intend to do so. There was no
express invitation, permission or license.
Invitation is inferred where there is a
common interest or mutual advantage.
while a license is inferred where the OBJ
ject is the mere pleasure or benefit OF the
person using it.
While true that when a use has been
so long continued as to induce the pub
lie to believe that the owner invited such
a use, liability has been held to arise as
from an implied invitation, the stealing
of rides upon the cars of a common car
rier cannot be held to warrant such belief
on the part of the public.
A trespasser is protected only against
the wanton, wilful or reckless injury of
defendant.
In the absence of such wanton conduct
on the Fart of the defendant, child, il
a trespasser, has no greater rights than
those possessed by one of mature years.
The motion must be sustained.
Motion sustained. Verdict set aside.
New trial granted.
Received Sept. 2. 1914.
