the design of Du Simitiere, West In.

In the six quarters of the shield
were the rose for Engl nd, the thistle

eagle of Germany and the Belgic lion
Of Holland. Although this seal was
not adopted, 1t showed the high regard
in which many prominent persons held

The harp was probably in recogni.

there was the motto "Majora minoro

IS LEAVING
Fir. Renaud Will Come
From Frenchville
New Priest will Say Mass at st.
Mary's Church Next Sabbath. Fr.
Desjardins Goes to WestbrOOk

Fr. p. E. Desjardins has been
transferred from the parish of Our
Lady of Lourdes in Skowhegan to st.
Hyacinth's parish in Westbrook and
will probably leave tomorrow to es-
tablish himself in the midst of his
parishioners there. His successor is
to be FIR. Renaud of Frenchville, who
will arrive in time to say mass at the
morning service in ST. Mary's Church
next Sabbath. The departure of FIR.
Desjardins is sincerely regretted not
among Protestants as well, as he was
universally respected by Skowhegan
people. This step means promotion
for his new duties will take him into
a parish of some thirty-five hundred
souls, while in Skowhegan there are
about seventeen hundred followers of
that faith. FIR. Desjardins became
acquainted with the facts that the
transfer was about to be made last
day at the Church services.
FIR. Renaud comes here from
Frenchville, a town having at the
time of the last census something
over fourteen hundred inhabitants,
and located in Aroostook County one
hundred and ten miles from Houlton.
II was formerly known as Dionne
Plantation and was named for Father
Dionne, who built the first Catholic
corporated under the name of Dick
eyville but In 1871 was changed to
Frenchville on account of the nation
ality Of Its settlers. Prior to being
located in Frenchville. FIR. Renaud
was stationed at Presque Isle and
has been In this state for ten or IL
years. This clergyman is under
stood to have been native of Massa-
chusetts and II is thought his sister
will accompany him to skowhegan to
preside over HIS household.

DIR. 4. B. BORDEN TO

Ordered to Hospital for
Observation
Arrested at the Time of Fire. Thought
to be Temporarily Insane. Hearing
Before the Selectmen

Following the fire in his suite in
the Barrett Block Sunday morning
DR.. A b. Borden was taken into GUS
tody by Chief of Police f. F. Pennell
and was placed in the lookup at the
Municipal Building. Monday after
noon he was given a hearing before
the selectmen relative to his sanity,
certain actions ON the part of the
doctor having caused considerable
talk of late. At this hearing two of
the local physicians judged the un-
fortunate man to be temporarily in
sane, probably from the use of liquor
or drugs Policeman Pennell told of
conditions in the suite at the time of
the fire and mentioned the presence
of many beer bottles in the apart

and ordering a casket, insisting that
his measurements be taken etc, as
he did not want the casket to bind
In his defense DR. Borden first ex-
cused his personal appearance and
drug and said he was planning to go
to Florida for his health admitted he
had ordered the casket. because he
wanted plenty of room after his death
etc. The attorneys in the case were
W II. Hawes, Esq. for the state and
T. B. Barrett, Esq. and l.. l.. Walton
Esq. for Dr. Borden. The parties in
terested together with the attorneys
conferred together and as a result the
selectmen reserved their decision and
the doctor was turned over to the of
ficer
arraigned before Judge Brazzell on
the charge of intoxication. a charge
of which he was found guilty by the
presiding justice and was sentenced
to 80 days in Jail. Meanwhile his
attorneys, upon the plea of not guilty
because of insanity had appealed to
the Supreme Court and the unfortu-
nate man was ordered to the State
Hospital at Augusta by Judge Phil
brook for observation The method
of procedure was taken rather than
to have the doctor sent by the Sc
lectmen. as in that case il might be
difficult for him to be released. Tues

AT a meeting of the Board of Trade
Horse Day Committee, Wednesday,
February 23rd was decided upon for
our Horse Day Carnival. This event
is as unique as the Mardi Gras cele-
Aration in New Orleans. No other
city in the world has anything just
like this extravagant southern fete
and no other town or city so far as
known has a mid winter celebration,
giving prominence to the horse, such
as Skowhegan has had annually for
many years.
The change from horse drawn
street cars to electric traction and
the advent of the automobile have
been heralded by many as marking
the end of mans dependence on the
horse. AS matter of fact these
and other factors have operated to

reduce the Importance of mans here
to most serviceable domestic animal.
Recently however, owing possibly to
the thousands of horses shipped
abroad for war purposes and to other
influences not as easily understood,
there has been a marked revival of
interest in the horse market. There
has been right along for ten years an
increasing interest in draft animals
in Maine but this more recent move
refers to light and medium weight
roadsters. We all recall the days
when Bishop and other buyers would
pick up carload of this class of
horses on a single visit to Somersets
shire town. Only this winter, after
a long cessation of such activities,
buyers have been again searching this
section for good draft animals. Horse
