to where the gate hit the automobile
ana the manner in which the train
was approaching was II confederation
OF the preceding Witnesses
Counsel for defence ross-examined
at this point. Witness was asked if he
could state where the gate hit the au-
tomobile as IT came down, and he re-
piled that his recollection was that
the gate struck some portion of the
hood, but could not swear that it did
Kenneth Urquhart was next called
Witness did not see the automobile at
the time of the crash as the engine
had passed. Witness stated that the
gate was not touching the ground
when he observed 1t. but was part
way down. Witness was asked how
many cars had passed over the cross
ing before the train was finally
brought to a stop, and he replied
about 10. The s-examination was
brief.
Mark Shapiro was next called. Wit
ness did not see the accident but aft
erwards helped take the automobile off
the tracks at the crossing. Witness al
so released the emergency brake on
the Rafter machine before it was
taken from the tracks. Mr.. Shapiro
was familiar with automobiles as he
owned Il Buick, the same model as the
Rafter machine.
Mary Barrett of Randolph. an en-
ployee in the Commonwealth shoe fac
tory, was the next to testify. Witness
was standing on the covered portion
of the bridge on the Gardiner end and
was talking with some friends. When
the gate at the crossing came down 1t
struck the front part or hood of the
automobile, breaking off a portion of
the gate. Witness first knowledge Of
the train approach was when someone
shouted from the barber shop. On
ross-examination witness should say
that the automobile was going very
slow as it approached the crossing,
about as fast as a person would
walk.
Charles G. Marks of Randolph tes-
titled that he was just under the COW
er of the Gardiner end of the bridge
walking toward Gardiner when the ac-
cident occurred. Witness had some
conversation with Rafter as he passed
by him m the machine. At that time
witness should say that the machine
was going about twice as fast as he
was walking. Witness did not hear or
see any signs of train until ne
heard the crash. Attorney for defence
had no questions in cross

Some of the shippers of the Augusta
Yacht Club, whose craft are winter
ing in the "shipyard" on the north
shore Of the cove below the old fort,
are feeling much easier than they did
the first OF the week when the rise OF
water threatened TO reach freshet pro-
portions and to set things moving
along the Kennebec, for while the
greater portion of the eight or ten
motor boats hauled up there are well
up on the shore it would not be impos-
slble for high water to reach them and
set them afioat. The greatest amount
of anxiety was probably felt by Capt.
Chase, the owner of the only fishing
boat that halls from this port, and
whose craft was partly frozen into the
ice. He has been at work on her for
the greater part of the week, and Will
probably have her free before the time
comes for the ice TO leave.

The most favorable feature of the

simultaneously the battle in the

Repeated attempts to place pontoons

GERMANS CLAIM
VICTORY EVERYWHERE
(By Frederick Werner.)

Berlin, via Amsterdam, Aug. 81
"Bott in the east and west our troops
are Victorious" says an official state
menu issued by the war office today.
"Thc Russian advance into East
Prussia has been halted, while Gen
erals Kluk, Won Buelow and Won Hau-
sen have steadily driven back the
British and French forces that oppose
their advance on Paris.
"The Russians are retreating, though
they show great bravery in opposing
our forces. The Austrian invasion OF
Russia is proceeding successfully, and
our lilies are near Lublin, despite the
Russians have been reinforced"
This is in wide variance with the
st. Petersburg version of the situation
in Russian Poland. The Russian gen.
eral staff states that the Austrians
who entered the province of Lublin
had to withdraw to aid Limberg.
The German statement continues:
"The English troops sent to France
have cen cut from their base and will
be unable to receive reinforcements.
The entire campaign as mapped out
by the German general staff has been
successful"

Under the terms of this law the ag

suffer most heavily as the law states
that Under no circumstances must an

cases, perishable crops must be
handled at once to prevent loss. No
alternative is provided for in emer-
