MOTIONS OvERRULED
IN SOMERSET CASES
Rescripts Handed Down by the Law
Court, One for Two Actions of As
sumpsit

The following rescripts have been
for two actions of assumpsit, tried to-
gether at the September term 1913. in
Somerset county.
The writ of Estey VS.. Whitney con-
tanned a count alleging an oral agree
ment to purchase farm of the de-
PENDANT. payments amounting to $500
on said agreement, and a rescission
of the contract by reason of the al
legged fraud of the defendant, and also
the money counts. The writ of Whit
ney VS. Estey contained an account
annexed alleging the Indebtedness to
the plaintiff in the sum of $500, the
account annexed being: ITO winter
ing your cattle and horse at Embden
during the season of 1910 and 1911,
5000 In the first case the verdict was
for the plaintiff for $1.797.62, and in
the second case the verdict was for
the defendant. 1t is admitted that
both yerdicts must stand or fall. ae-
cording to the correctness of the find
ings of the jury upon the issue of the
rescission of the contract for the pur-
chase of the farm. The law court
found that under the circumstances
they had no right to substitute their
judgment for that of the jury. and, as
both cases must stand or fall together
the mandates should be, motions over
ruled. ..ax5 =
The parties concerned in the case
were William A. Estey of New Bruins
wick and William B. Whitney of Nor
ridgewock. the farm in question being
located in Embden. .1..-

BURGLARY At MADISON
Store OF ". + Greene Invaded by
Thieves. fbOut 5000 Worth of
Watches and Rings Taken

Deputy Sheriff Rufus Mckenney was
called early Friday morning to inYesti-
gate break made into the store Of
W +. Greene, some time during the
previous night. The thief made en-
trance by cellar window, removing
two windows as the outside one had
not been taken off and after entering
the basement it was an easy matter TO
get up into the store as the cellar door
was not bolted. 1t is not known when
the break occurred as it was not dis
covered until the opening in the morn
ing. The block in which the store is
located has tenements over head and
three families live there but this parti-
eular evening every family were away,
as there was a circus in town. 1t
was thought at first that some of the
pickpockets which usually follow a
show of this kind. were responsible for
the affair but it looks more like the
work of amateurs as quite lot of
stuff taken was of Comparatively little
value. several dollar watches being
taken and lot of tools for
watch repairing while valuable watch
works and rings in the same show
case We're left untouched. About 5000
worth of watches and rings were taken.
About year ago an attempt was made
to burglariZe this same store but the
thief only got into the basement A
peculiar feature of this last break is
the fact that who ever removed the
two cellar windows carried them
across the back steps and placed them
against the cellar wall in exactly the
same place as the one who got into the
basement last year.

CHECK SPREAD OF DISEASE

Been Discovered.

A new appreciation of a heretofore
unknown service which birds render
to mankind has developed from a re-

Washington, on research in conneo
ton with the diet of birds.
The value of birds to the farmer
Ia plain enough. Without their check

every green thing and tend to reduce

Their more general and direct in
huence in the checking Of the spread
OF disease has not, however, been
fully realized. But It Is only neces-
sary to note that 500 mosquitoes have
been found IN the stomach Of a single

Since birds perform such an .nvalu.
able service It Is clearly worth while
for a community to protect them.
This can be done by furnishing boxes
