kENNEsEc SUPERIOR COURT.
January Term Convenes Thursday-A
Divorce Case-list of Jurors.

The Kennebec superior court con-
| vened at 10 A. Nj. Thursday, the first
of the forenoon session being taken
up by the drawing of the two sets of
jurors. After the two juries had been
selected and the foreman of each
named, the first case was in order, it
being that of Irving Lincoln of Wayne
VS.. Bertha A. Lincoln, in which the
former sued for divorce on the grounds
of a statutory offence and cruel and
abusive treatment. Ellsworth E. Pea
cock of Readfleld conducted the case for
the ubelant, while H C. Sullivan of
Portland represented the Hbeiee. AL
though from all appearances the case
seemed to be a contested one, the main
point in the libelee's appearing was for
the custody of the daughter, who is
but nine years of age. The case was a
sensational one from the beginning
ana occupied the attention of the court
for the entire day. Owing to the late
ness of the hour the jury was not CIV
en- the case. but will retire to its rooms
this morning for deliberation. The ma
ture of the testimony introduced and
the specific charges made by the de-
fence made a greater part of 1t un-
suitable for publication.
The members of the juries follow:

came to the desperate decision to |
make personal appeal to her. Per-
haps he could convince her of his |
ability, when she understood the cir
cumstances. After all, five years as a |
teacher did give him some right to |
clemency. And next term.
The class was ominOusly quiet next |
morning as Mr.. Cornwall Give min

If there was a tendency to suppressed |
mirth on the part of the feminine |
members, no mixing of this reached |
Mr.. Cornwall's mind. He had decided |
to make his appeal to Miss MoriaTity |
during the hour of recess. He was |
going to ask her to see him, when she |
came round on the matutinal inspec-
ton. But Miss Moriarity did not ap- |
pear that morning.
At the hour of recess he sought her. |
He tapped timorously upon the door.
Come in" replied a voice, even
more timorous.
SCREENING up his courage, Mr.. Corn
wall entered the room. The redoubt-
able Miss Moriarity was seated at her
desk beside the window. She was
writing very quickly, and Mr.. Corn
wall had reached her side before she
looked up, just for an instant. Then
she motioned him to be seated.

said Miss Mary, meaningly.
That was all she said, but strange
thrill ran through Henry CORVALLIS
frame. 1t was years since a woman
had looked at him in that way. Miss
Mary had not said word to indicate
what she was thinking of, but-Well,
Henry Cornwall knew.
He slid off his chair and down at
Miss Mary's feet, and drew her down
to him and kissed her on the lips. A
minute and half after they were
engaged.

twice in two months, is called the
best middleweight since Stanley
Ketchel.
When Klaus was knocked out the
first time by Chip he was considered
the middleweight champion by virtue
of his defeat of Billy Papke in Paris,
for upon Papke's shoulders had fallen
the title when Ketchell was killed.
Chip fought his first ring battle in
New Castle, Pa, in 1909, knocking
out George Gill in two rounds, and
followed this by knocking out the
next four men to face him, none of
the fights going over four rounds.
Since that day Chip has met every
middleweight of any account, and
Jack Dillon of Indianapolis is the
only man who has bothered him to
any extent.
Dillon and Chip have had several
victories and defeats as the result of
these meetings, and it is doubtful if
the Hoosier boxer was within the
middleweight limit in his bouts with
Chip.
One thing that recommends Chip
to the fans is that he isn't running
around claiming the title. He says he
is ready to meet any man who will
make 15S pounds, and he will doubt
less participate in the elimination
contest to be staged by Uncle Tom
McCarey at Vernon, Cal, to produce
real middleweight champion.
Chip became a boxer as the result
of violating Pennsylvania law,
which makes it a prison offense to as
sauIt a man under ground. Chip
about eight years ago knocked out
mine boss while working as mule
driver and fed from Scranton to New
Castle to escape arrest.
In New Castle he fell in with the
veteran Jimmy Dime, who brought
him to his present fistic eminence.

Packard and Brennan were more

Local AneStheSia,

A discovery in surgical science,
claimed - be the greatest since Lis
ter founded antiseptic surgery, has
been made by Professor Leduc, a
prominent French scientist, and is
now being exhibited in London. The
purpose of the discovery is to render
a patient locally insensible to the pain
Of an operation by applying an cleo
trio current to the part Of the body
to be operated upon. It's action is
said to be such that even when only
a small amount of current is applied
needles may be stuck deep into a
mans flesh without his feeling any
sensation Of pain whatever. This To-
cal anesthesia consists of a series
of electrical impulses to the number
OF 100 to the second, each shock last
ing one-thousandth part of second.
These brief and rapid galvanic cur
rents coming at regular intervals rem
der the particular part to be oper-
ated on quite insensible to pain with
out producing any i'll effects. The
current is applied by two metal pads
covered with wash feather and made
wet before the operation and pressed
against the flesh. The apparatus
works on a voltage of 60 and for or
binary operations strength of cur
rent of two milli-amperes is consider
ed sufficient.
