A case in which ex-Congressman
S. w. Gould was one of the defend
ants was tried Saturday. Action was
brought by David c. Jewett of Show
hegan against Isaac S. Pierce and Mr..
Gould to recover money due him he
claimed in a sugar speculation
scheme. The case finally resolved
itself into a question as to the law of
partnership When Mr.. Gould was a
member of the National Congress he
and Mr.. Pierce were associated to-
gether in the retail grocery business
in Skowhegan. During Mr.. Gould's
absence in Washington, Mr. Jewett
had some conversation with Mr..
Pierce relative to the advantage of
buying sugar in large quantities. Mr..
Jewett eventually furnished 1913, in
order that one ton of this commodity
might be procured. The same ac-
cording to the plaintiff was to be
stored by Mr. Pierce and handled by
him, the products to be shared equal
ly between the two gentlemen. Dur
ing the absence of Mr. Jewett at the
seashOre Mr., Pierce began TO sell the
sugar, Mr.. Jewett claiming that he
had no right to dispose of the same
until he had been interviewed upon
the subject 1t was claimed by MIR.

transaction and he further claimed
that the transaction was between Mr..

BAILEY DEFEATED,

Mr.. VIM. H. Bailey, justice Of the
peace at Buxton, Iowa, and one of the
active young republican workers of
that town, was the only candidate for
delegate from Iowa to the national
republican convention, was defeated
at the state wide primary held last
Monday, to our sorrow. It does seem
that when the republican party wants
active workers to help organize they
come to the colored people, but when
good and efficient candidates apply for
an elective Office, which they have a
right to and are justly entitled 70,
they are usually defeated. Mr.. Bailey
is one of the strong men of Buxton,
young and active. And we present
his name as candidate for the legis-
lature from Monroe county and hope
that he will file his nomination papers
and we will do all in our power to get
the nomination for him and his elec-
tion to the legislature.

many a fugitive from the southland

there was safety. When boy Sena-
tor Allen would listen by the hour to
the interesting tale of the grandfath-
er how hey would hide the colored
fugitives during the day and then
trabel at night. Those were interest
ing days and Of course as a result nf
his abolitionist ancestry Senator AL

that enthused to help the colored peo-
pie. He is now being largely support
ed by the colored voters of Iowa and
