| A flock Of sheep which were being
wintered at an abandoned farm near
the Holley neighborhood in Farming
ton aroused the indignation of the res
| idents OF that section because Of the
| neglect the animals received and a
| complaint was finally lodged with the
Pennington Humane Society. 1t was
| alleged that the sheep remained unfed
for long periods and were in a pitt
able condition. With the sheep were
| few goats. but these animals ap-
! peared TO be able to find sufficient
! browse. One day last week two Of
! the sheep were found frozen TO the ice
| on tho ground and unable TO rise.
| They were liberated by pupils at the
Holley school who made the discovery.

H. Rollins, Humane Agent. and as a
! result Clarence NJ. Eaton was brought
| before Judge Currier c. Holman in the
municipal court on a charge of cruel
| ty to animals. He was fined a total
Of Sl0.47 which he paid. The sheep
have been removed to another loca-
ton and their owner has promised
they will receive better care.

The death of Judge A. D. Cornish in
! Pasadena, Cal, removes a figure long
prominent in Lewiston. Judge Cornish
was born Feb. 3. 1s43 in Lisbon, read
law and was admitted 10 the bar in
1868. He received the degree Of 4 NJ
in 1869 from Bowdoin College. He be-
! gan practice in 1858 in Lewiston and
| in 1876 was appointed to the Lewiston
! judSeship, which position he held con-
tinuously until his retirement two
| years ago, when he and his family re-
moved to California. Judge Cornish
was lifelong Republican in politics
He was always a student and highly
esteemed by all who knew him. a
widow and daughter. Mrs Emily
Bohn, tTo brothers. VIM. Cornish Of
Topsham and Burieigh Cornish of
Westbrook, and sister, who lives
in Cambridge, Mass, survive
Auburn is having a housekeeping
OF some filthy spots. The baby farm
ing establishment run by Mrs. Lu-
| cretia VarEham in the Bee Hive has
| been ordered cleaned out and proper
| homes for the inmates will be pro-
Vioed. A six-months- old baby was
also taken away from a man and his
wife. who We're boarding it and who
were found by the city marshal drunk
| on the door in the same Bee Hive
1t is strange that such conditions will
be allowed to exist SO long.
That Werner Horn will be tried in
the United States district for the dis
| trict Of Massachusetts, is an assured
fact. but that he will be brought be-
| fore the Federal court IN Portland is
thought to be verys probable. Horn s
counsel will no doubt put up a siren
uous fight against Horn being taken
back to Massachusetts for trial and
the fight will probably be waged in
the United States District court for the
district Of Maine which is held in Port
land. The formal hearing before Uni
| ted States Commissioner Reid at Ban
gor will probably be held Thursday,
| March II.
The question of whether or not rifle
| shooting shall be continued in the Port
land and Deering High schools is to be
decided by the parents the nripc;paJs
