Business Men, Students and Profes.
sionai Men Unite in Enthusiastic
Praises

In these days of the telegraph, the
Telephone and rapid transit, time has
become a desideratum more important
than ever before The historian,
Larned, was the first to see this need
in the acquisition of a knowledge of
history, and he has supplied it to
degree of perfection never before at
tanned. AS work for constant use in
the home, for the business man, and
professional, as well as the student,
his History of the World is beyond
comparison, the best ever written. We
are in daily receipt of the praises of
our readers for offering them a work
of this character almost as a gift. We
knew when we undertook the distri-
button that it was affording a very
unusual chance to place in the homes
of the people a work conceded to be
the best of its kind. But the enthusi-
asm displayed by the crowds daily
thronging our office far surpasses our
anticipations. The only fear we now
have is that the supply we were fortu-
nate enough to contract for, will not
hold out. Every reader of today's pa
per is earnestly urged to lose no time
in clipping the coupons that appear
daily in these columns.

be assured of not only getting a gar

WILLIAM M'NEAR
FOUND GUILTY IN
TWO RUM CASES
Chris Miller, However, Has Bet
ter Luck and Is Given
Discharge

The visits Sunday and Monday of
the deputy sheriffs TO the Togus dis
trict furnished three liquor cases for
the Tuesday morning session of the
county, in two Of which a conviction
was secured while in the third the re-
spondent was discharged.
The opening case was that of Will
liam McNear, who was arraigned on
the charge OF illegal possession of in
toxicating liquors and also on that of
search and seizure. He was repre-
sented by Burleigh Martin of the law
firm of Murchie & Martin and entered
q plea of not guilty in both cases. Nc
Near's claim was that the liquor found
at his place Gid not belong to him but
was brought to his house by a man
named Gould. McNears testimony
was of a conflicting nature and the
court declared him guilty of both
charges.
In each case he was given a SEN
tence of $100 and costs and 60 days in
Jail and in default of payment of fine
and costs so days additional. An ap-
peal was taken from the decision of
the court and the respondent was ord
$500 for appearance at the January
term of the Superior court. Failing to
furnish the required bonds the respon-
dent was committed.
The third case was that of Chris
Miller, who was arraigned on the
charge of illegal possession and who
through his attorney. Melvin E. Saw
telle, entered a plea of not guilty.
Deputy Sheriff Jones. the complainant
in the case, introduced as evidence
eight pints Of liquor, all but one of
which was in the original wrapper
and all CT which had been found in the
woods, the bottles in different places,
also a. bottle which he had taken from
an old soldier. The ruling of the court
was that no evidence had been intro
duced to connect the respondent with
the liquor in question and he was ac-
cordingly discharged.

ton for this work. In Mr.. Heselton's
cross-examination the witness was
forced to Admit, amidst her bushes
and indignation and somewhat to the
amusement Of the hearers, that the
friendship between her and Charles
Loon might Justify the expression by
which Mr. Carleton later referred to
her as the intended" of the plaintiff.
Five other witnesses in their testi-
mony exposed their knowledge of the
work which the plaintiff had done for
the late Mr.. Davis and set. what IN
their estima ton, would be a fair rate
OF pay for this work, and this closed
the testimony for the prosecution.
No testimony was submitted in be-
half of the defense and Mr.. Heselton
Immediately pleaded his case before
the Jury. MI. Carleton then followed.

Almost a Fire Tuesday Afternoon

What came near being n blaze Of Sc
rious proportions had its origin at about
2I5 Tuesday afternoon in a rear office
of the suite occupied by DR.. C. J. Lin
coin on the second floor of the Coughlin
building, corner of Water and Bridge
streets, and was due to the igniting OF a
curtain from a small alcohol lamp which
stood on the window sill. The blazing
curtain was seen by someone crossing the
Kennebec bridge. One of the clerks in
the Coughlin drug store was notified and
by prompt action on his part with a
chemical extinguisher from the store the
fire was quickly killed out. but not be-
fore it had done quite bit of damage
about the room.

BARNES MURDER
BY HINCKLEY The
ACT OF A MANIAC
After Shooting the Negro, He
Placed an American Flag in
Muzzle of Gun and Marched
Around Singing Patriotic
Songs

Charles Barnes, the victim of the
shooting at Riggsville Sunday morn
ing, is highly spoken of by people
who have known him for many years,
says the Bath Times. He was en-
ployed in the Georgetown quarry. The
PAST summer he has been having lum-
Der shipped from this city for the
construction of cottage at George
town He was q halfbreed. half ne
gro and half Indian. He leaves be-
hind a signed statement of the events
leading up to the shooting which diff
fers from the account that Hinckley,
the prisoner, gives. Barnes died when
about half way from Five Islands Har-
Dor to this city.
He says that he was in hammock
when Hinokley came up and brand
ished the butt Of the gun first, after
asking Barnes If Barnes the fighter,
was his name. Barnes admitted the
name was his but not that he claimed
to be fighter and then jumped out
of the hammock and ran a short dis
lance down the road with Hinckley
behind and when he reached a small
gulley he received the gun charge in
his hip and fell into the clump of
bushes as told.
The natives say that after the
shooting Hinckley placed In the muz-
zle Of his gun a small American flag
and with tho gun at present arms
marched up and down the road sing
ing THE Star Spangled Banner" and
America
On hearing the shot fired, neishhors
came running out, but there seems to
have been no effort made to arrest
the murderer, who, tired of his mill
tary parade, returned to his camp.
1t is said that Sylvia Barnes. the wife
of the murdered man, was a former
sweetheart Of Hfnckley. who proposed to
her and was declined. Hinckley has been
sailor, going mate of the schooners
Maud H. Dudley and Daisy Farlin. He
was given the nickname of Sam Slick and
has been considered for some years by
the residents of Georgetown and those
who knew him well not all right in his
head. and che question naturally arises,
why has the man not been cared for
before the tragedy occurred?"
1t Is stated today that Mrs. Barnes has
but recently returned from Harmon s
Harbor, where she was employed this
summer She has, It is stated, several
times left Barnes. Barnes, 1t is claimed,
Sunday morning had come over to the
residence where Mrs. Barnes. was stop
ping, to get her to return to him. 1t Is
also said that Hinckley knew what
Barnes was trying to accomplish and
was lying in wait for him. 1t Is common
talk that Hinckley has threatened 20
shoot Barnes once or twice before
