MUNICIPAL COURT.
Justice Dispensed Thursday Morning
in Assault and Battery Case.

Kie Gipson and Carroll Burns were
before the municipal court Thursday
morning to answer to complaint
sworn out against them by Wilbur
Nickless and charging them with as
sault and battery, which assault was
alleged to have taken place Wednes-
day night in the Hayes restaurant.
Gipson pleaded not guilty and Burns,
while he admitted that he had struck
Nickless, claimed that the latter had
struck him first.
From the testimony given in at the
hearing 1t appeared that the trouble
grew out OF a request by Nickiess that
Gipson pay him a dollar which he
claimed that Gipson had owed him for
some time past. 1t also developed that
although Gipson was in the restaurant
at the time of the trouble he had not
been with Burns during the evening,
the latter having been to the moving
pictures with another young man, af-
ter which they had gone to the
restaurant for a lunch. The court
collected the dollar for the complainant
and found Burns guilty on the charge
of assault but suspended sentence.
had a session with two boys, Ralph
Thorndike, aged IA years, and Stephen
Huska. aged nine years. who were
brought before him for the larceny
of gold filled watch and one dollar
in money Wednesday afternoon from
the residence of William Coffin on
Bridge street. Complaint was made on
Thursday morning and that afternoon
Officer Fred Dauteuil rounded up the
youngsters and with them the watch,
but the money had been spent and
its equivalent in marbles was found
in the boys pockets. The watch was
restored to its owner and after the
judge had interviewed the boys to the
extent that they promised to return
to school and behave themselves he
allowed them to go, but they will be
kept under the eye of the police as a
deterrent to future escapades.

Did the Small Boy
"Work" the Judge

1t is probable that the youngest APP
plicant who ever came into a police
court for warrant was little curly
headed boy of five summers who found
his way into the basement of City hail
Thursday afternoon and later, after
making known his mission, was taken
to the municipal court room and in
troduced to Judge Lancaster.
When the little fellow first made his
appearance in the building he was
looking for City Marshal Colgan, but
found to his disappointment that that
officer was out of town. Deputy Mar
shall Choate was present, however, and
the youngster after looking the off,
Ger over with the critical eye of child
hood finally decided that he would do,
and proceeded to confide in him. 1t is
not the easiest thing in the world for
the deputy marshal, because of his am
pie waist line, to bend over sufficient
ly for a five-year- old boy to whisper
in his ear, but somehow he did it and
the boy impaired to him the somewhat
startling information that he wanted
warrant.
That being a little out of his line
Of business the deputy took his
youthful visitor by the hand and lead
ing him into the courtroom introduced
him to the Judge. The boy was not
tall enough SO that the judge could
see him as he stood in front of the
desk, so the little fellow went around
and stood by the judges knee while
into his ear he poured the story of his
troubles. In response to inquiry by
the Judge as to why he wanted the
warrant he said that he had been
working for man up on Cony hill
and that the man had not paid him.
Seeing that the boy was very much
in earnest and that to his childish
mind the case was a serious one, the
Judge asked him how much the man
owed him, and the answer which wa
promptly forthcoming was Five
cents" Then over the gathering in
the courtroom, which was composed of
the judge. the deputy marshal and the
boy, there came one of those silences
which are so intense that they almost
seem to have weight, and as the depu-
ty marshal stole softly out Of the
courtroom and down the corridor for
fear that he should laugh at the
wrong time, the judge pulled nickel
from his pocket and handed it to the
boy. saying as he did so: MY son,

Danish SCrOfula.
Hoods Sarsaparilla CIeanses the
Blood, Skin Troubles Vanish.

Scrofula eruptions on the face and
body are both annoying and disf.gur-
ing. The complexion would be per-
feet if they were not present!
This disease shows itself in other
ways, as punches in the neck, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting OF
the muscles, form of dyspepsia, and
general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This great medicine com
pletely eradicates scrofula. 1t puri-
fies and enriches the blood. removes
humors, and builds up the whole
system.
Scrofula is either inherited or ac-
quired. Better be sure you are quite
free from it. Get Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and begin taking it today,-Adv.

LAW COURT DECISION.
No Trustee Needed in Equity Case of
Marion D. Blaine Vs. Abbie r. Dow.

--
A rescript In the Penobscot equity
case Of Marion Dow Blaine eft ais VS..
Abbie r. Dow ct ais has been re-
ceived, as follows:~
Marion Dow. Blaine ct ais. VS.. Alb
bic r. Dow. Rescript. Bird, j. A bill
in equity for the construction of the
will of Mary Jenness Rawson of Bos-
ton.
A will is presumed in the absence
of anything to the contrary to have
been drawn in accordance with the
law of the testator's domicil and will
be interpreted accordingly, but its ef-
feet and validity in respect to the
disposition of real estate situated in
another jurisdiction or the creation
of any interest therein, will depend
upon the lex rel sitae.
While the word survivor is an apt
term for the creation of joint ten
ancy in devise of realty to several
it does not have such effect when
used in conjunction with the words
ito be divided equally among them"
Where a word is used in one sense
in one part of a will, and there IS
nothing to indicate different mean
ing when the same word is used in
another part, it may be presumed
that that same meaning was intend
ed.
1t is not presumed that a testator
| intends joint tenancy but the con-
trary.
Where a residuary clause of a will
| provides "all the rest and residue of
my estate---I give, devise and
| bequeath to my her
| life, the remainder at her death to
be divided equally among her three
| children (naming them) and the sur
| vivor, to them and their heirs and as
| signs" it is held that the words of
gift apply to the remainder as we'll as
to the life estate.
Under such a residuary clause the
| life tenant is entitled to the possess
sion. management and control of the
| residue.
II is an elementary rule of con-
struction that estates legal or equi-
| table given by will, should always be
regarded as vesting unless the tesla
tor has by very clear words mani
tested an intention that they should
be contingent upon future event.
And so clear must be his express
sion that in cases of doubt or ambi-
guilty as to the time when 1t was in
tended that an estate should vest, the
remainder will be regarded as vested
rather than contingent.
The gift of a residue is construed as
vested if possible. In such case every
presumption is to be made that a
testator did not intend to die intes-
| tate.
It is held:
That upon the whole will the COM
| piainants under the fourth item of the
will took a vested remainder as ten
| ants in common:
That the compliments. the minor
| acting by guardian, can with the life
| tenant, convey good title to the real
estate mentioned:
That there is no occasion for the in
| prevention of trustee.
! Decree accordingly.

ALARM WAS NEEDLESS.
Fire Department Given Long Run
Thursday Morning for Nothing.


The fire department was called out
on a needless run Thursday morning
by an alarm at 1902 from box Is at
the corner of Stone and Cedar streets.
The cause of the alarm was chimney
fire at the residence of William Chad
wick so Hospital street, and Hose 2,
which had been summoned by tele-
phone, had almost reached the scene
of the trouble when the alarm was
rung in.
Hose l made a quick run, and al
though Driver Currier of the hook and
ladder truck had the horses out for
exercise when the alarm sounded and
thus lost a little time in getting back
to the station and hooking up he was
soon on his way. The services of the
department We're not needed however
and the about was1 sounded at 1908
The teams had a run of about a mile
for nothing, which was needless and
could have been avoided by the exer-
else of little judgment on the part
of the one who pulled in the alarm.

days has got in it's work on the ice in

and it is at present very weak and
evidently about ready to go out.
Thursday morning the ice moved down

BIG DIPPER WILL
DISAPPEAR IN TIME

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 13.-Professor
Louis Boss, director of Dudley Obser-
vatory eminent astronomer whose
mathematical calculations OF move
ments of the stars are recognized by
astronomers all over the world, in a
lecture at the state education building
last night on "some preliminary at
tempts to solve the riddle of the uni
verse;" declared that he is now fairly
convinced by recent observations and
deductions that some force "of the gen.
eral nature of an electro-magnet may
be the law governing the motion and
structure of the stars" He also as
serted that the big dipper eventually
would disappear.
Five stars of the big dipper are
travelling along together, while the two
at the extreme ends are moving in the
opposite direction" he said, 80 that
eventually the configuration of the dip
per will be broken up"

Snowfall Is So Heavy That
Railroad Traffic Is
Interfered With
STORM MOVES EAST
TOWARD NEW YORK
Follows Cold Period There
and Brings Relief From
the Frigid Weather

ST. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 13.-St. Louis
was nearly snow bound today as a re-
suit of blizzard that started late yes
terday afternoon and which at lo
o'clock this morning was at the height
of it's fury Street cars on all routes
were blocked. Most Of the through
passenger trains arrived about on time
but only to encounter a blockade IN
the terminal yards. Great dlfhculty
was experienced in getting the trains
into the union station.
Hundreds of men were put to work
by the city early today clearing streets
but thcy were able to accomplish little
more than preventing long blockades,
for the snow continued to fall and pack
as it fell.
Snow plows drawn by four horses
were driven through the down town
streets to make way for vehicle traffic.
Cold Causes Death.
New York, Feb. 13--The cold wave
claimed another victim here today.
The death of Eric Nelson, an aged tail
or frozen on the streets brought the
total since the arrival Of zero weather
Wednesday night to nine. The mu-
nicipal lodging houses and other char
liable institutions overflowed with hui
man derelicts and unfortunates. Pros
trations reported by the police are al
most continuous.
The lowest dip in the mercury TO-
dav was at o'clock this morning
when II stood at one below. The
weather bureau predicts dubious relief
in the form of q blizzard and a slightly
increasing temperature At II O'Clock
the mercury obeyed this forecast by
climbing to nine and above. All the
city, water. gas and other supply and
feed pipes burst. ~
Snow Turns to Rain.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 13.-SnoW
and cold today and tonight and warmer
tomorrow was today's prediction from

The Texas storm advancing on the
east turned to rain today as 1t ap-

SENATE EMPLOYEES
ENFORCE NEW RULE,

Washington, D. c., Feb. 13.-Senate
doorkeepers are now convinced that
their jobs are no sincures. This is
due to a new duty imposed upon them
of requiring visitors to the galleries
to keep hands off the ratings around
the senate chamber The object of the
rule is to prevent visitors from drop
ping papers. pocketbooks, muffs and
other articles on the heads of unsus-
pecting senators.
Hundreds of spectators daily violate
the rule and must be cautioned by the
doorkeepers. Miss Wilson, daughter
of the president was one of them. She
was innocently studying chart of the
senate which she had placed on the
forbidden railing. Senator Page of
Vermont. was another whose attention
had to be directed to the rule.
