MUNICIPAL COURT.
Fred DUDE Found Guilty of Charge of
Assault and Battery

Fred DUDE was before the munich
pal court Monday morning to answer
to a charge of assault and battery, a
complaint alleging which was sworn
out against him by Mrs. Jennie Har
vey, who keeps a boarding house on
Upper Water street. The time of the
alleged assault was Sunday evening
and the victim of the assault was
Frank Harvey. a son Of the complain
ant. The complainant was represented
by Frank L. Dutton of Augusta.
According to the testimony given for
the prosecution DUDE went to the Har-
vey house Sunday evening for his
clothes, and while Mrs. Harvey had
gone upstairs after them some trou-
BILE arose between Frank Harvey and
the respondent, who were down
stairs, which resulted in Harvey's get
ting what is termed a licking.
DUDE entered a plea of not guilty.
He said that Harvey came at him but
that he struck the latter before he
could get to him. After hearing both
sides of the case the court found the
respondent guilty and imposed a SEN
tence of SO and costs or 80 days in
jail, and the fine was paid.
In addition to the above three I'M
fortunates who had been taken in
Saturday night for imbibing too free
ly in anticipation of the coming of
the Fourth, were before the court to
answer to the charge of intoXication
and their cases were disposed of.
Two others who had been taken in at
the same time and were to have ap-
reared Monday morning defaulted
their bonds.

Caused by Explosion of Gasoline
In Boiler Room - Pressing
Room Completely Gutted-
Damage by Water
PROMPT WORK OF FIRE
MEN SAVES GREATER LOSS
Loss Is Covered by Insurance in
Charles E. Downing Agency
Colonial Theatre Employees Do
Good Work

An alarm which was pulled in from
Box "a at 1.35 P. NJ, Monday, called
the fire department to the scene of a
bad blaze at the Augusta steam dye
house, 40 Water street. The cause of
the fire was an explosion of gasoline
in the boiler room in the rear of the
building. F. V. Stevens, the proprie-
tor, was away at the time and the
place was in charge of Arthur b.
Whitehouse. and Arthur Davis. The
press room, which is directly over the
boiler room was Quilted and consid-
cradle amount of clothing which was
in the room at the time was destroyed.
The loss for Mr.. Stevens is estimated
at about $500 and is covered by insur-
ance in the Charles Z. Downing agen-
cy, tH#t
Mr.. Whitehouse was working in the
boiler room at the time of the explo
sion, while Mr.. Davis was at work in
the cleansing room on the upper floor.
Nj. Whitehouse states that there was
quite a head of steam on in the boiler
at the time and it is probabl that the
fumes from the gasoline with a draft
blowing from one of the back doors
which was open, was the cause of the
explosion. AS soon as the explosion
occurred the place was in flames in
an instant. Mir, Whitehouse ran out of
the bu&1ing building and started for
the fire alarm box John Hopkins, who
happened to be in the vicinity, pulled
in the alarm at the request of Mr..
Whitehouse. For some reason the
whistle sounded but three times, al
= A hne hntt
showed up the proper number, "a. The
teams made quick run to the scene,
Hose l and laying two lines of hose.
The flames burst through the windows
of the north side of the building and
the roof, spreading to the house be-
longing tc the Titcomb Real Estate
Association and occupied by Mrs.
Edith Kicker. The department had the
chemical hose on Hose quickly in ac-
ton and streams of water on the fire.
The firc which caught on the shingles
of the Kicker house was quickly ex-
tinguished and the firemen directed
their fight on the dye house. The fire
was all out at 2 P. NJ.
The building in which the fire start
ed was the property of Mr. Stevens,
while the front office, or from the
street entrance td7the second partition
belonged to the Titcomb Real Estate
Association. The damage TO this part
was slight, as the fire did not reach it,
The water, however, did slight damage.
With the exception of the Chinese
laundry being Vet down a little the
adjoining buildings suffered no dam
age. The good work Of the Colonial
theater employees saved a lot of cloth
ing. as they rushed into the burning
building and took out number OF

MEDlCl COLLAR WINS FAVOR
Excellent Reasons for Popularity of
This Almost Universal Evening
Adornment.

Medici collars flourish at evening
functions, where they appear on fully
half of the lately launched model
gowns. The reason for their vogue is
obvious, since they conceal the ugly
back which distigures many an other
wise pretty woman, or the scrawny
shoulders of the immature girl. Jew
eled net or chiffon, beaded malines or
tinsel lace are made into these quaint
collars, which are of even height at
the back and sides and only flare
broadly at their ends. where the wired
edge is bent into decided curve.
Antique laces - the wonderful
creamy-toned meshes of French, Span
ish or Italian origin-make up into
the most stunning of Medici collars.
They frequently are the only touches
of lace about evening gowns or the
equally stunning corrections worn at
afternoon receptions.
Plain and white linen. ajour Dor
