JURY BRINGS IN
VERDICT OF S9916
FOR BANGOR BOY

Bangor, Me-, April GA verdict for
damages in the sum Of $ss1S was returned
for John McKinnon in supreme court
Tuesday evening, the jury reporting at
$40 o'clock. The boys father. Pope D.
McKinning, sued the Bangor Railway &
Electric Co. for him to recover damages
for personal injuries, the boy losing his
right arm as a result of a rear-end col
lision on cars on Feb. %, 1915, opposite
the Bangor Savings Bank.
The case will go to the law court on re-
port as there are points of law to be
considered.
Attorney General Pattangall. who was
associated with E. P. Murray ESQ.,. as
counsel for the plaintiff, claimed that the
use of little sand would have stopped
the car and averted the accident. The
question of damages, he said. was hard
to determine. The boy cannot bring an
other suit, so damages. If awarded, must
be for all time. Mr.. Pattangall pictured
most effectively the position in which the
boy finds himself with one arm lost, his
lessened chances for livelihood in the fu-
ture, humiliation and so on.
Judge Bird Immediately proceeded to
his charge after a recess, speaking 35
minutes, and giving a very clear and con-
else exposition of the law and an expla-
nation of the points involved in the case.
He spoke of the action as the most i'm
portant which would come before the jury
at the present term Of court. The subject
Of damage was dwelt upon fully and IN
an illuminating manner, the various ele-
ments which enter into such a point be-
ing enlarged upon and illustrated graph
ically.
Instructions prayed for by the defend
ant were read and ruled upon by the
court and exceptions were allowed on
points upon which the court ruled adj
versely.
The jury retired at about o'clock and
returned the verdict mentioned at go.

Wednesdays Brighton Market

Stock Yards, April 26.-The COW barns
were totally destroyed by fire last night
together with some 400 cows. The pre-
else number cannot be stated. There were
20 inspected cows from outside the state
and at least 100 Massachusetts, cows not
subject to inspection. There was nc
blanket insurance covering the stock
each shipper insuring his own cows. I'm
fortunately many neglected to do this
and suffered serious loss in consequence
The ruins of the barns presented a sorry
sight this morning. The work Of clearing
up was started at once and teams and
gangs from the abattoir were taking out
the bodies Of the burned cows. Work
will be begun at once to erect stanchions
in the sheep barn. which was not burned
and by next week there will be facilities
to inspect from 800 to $50 cows; while
considerable number Of state cows can
be handled outside. Before the end OF
the week work will be started on the re-
moval of the ruins and there is no doubt
that the barns will be rebuilt at once.
That the fire was incendiary admits OF
practically no doubt.
The pens were not damaged. so that
beef cattle, hogs, calves. etc., can be
handled as usual. There was some
business at the yards this morning, al
though far less than normal. C. A.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

the Leading Stocks

New York, April 2S.-Much Of the
ground regained by the market in the
early days of the week was relinquished
today when professional selling Of spe-
cialties and some of the more standard
stocks was resumed. Among traders to
whom the narrow operations of the day
were largely confined. sentiment seemed
to undergo reversal Of it's recent mod
crate optimism.
Germany's procrastination, develop
ments in the field of labor and other un-
favorable portents contributed to this
state Of mind.

tial dealings. the movement becoming
more heavy as offerings increased Num-

point from the village into the lake, and
while there is at present no known in

showed that a bacteria count of 500

that a bacteria count of 500 in the

fall in the ST. Croix River, and is oper-
ating successfully, according to ad-
vices. In part, the device consists of
vertical shaft erected several feet
from the falls. Guides, or walls, radi-
ate from both sides of the structure to
the opposite banks Of the stream so
that fish are led to it. A cage in which
the latter are trapped and carried to
the top of the shaft, where they are
automatically dumped into a sluiceway
and discharged into the water on the
upstream side Of the barrier, is hoisted
by means of counterpoise tank which
is periodically filled with water from
supply reservoir surmounting the tow
er. The cage and tank are secured to
the opposite ends of a cable that passes
over pulleys at the top of the shaft.
The fish compartment is provided with
two doors, one at each end. When it
is at the bottom Of the shaft beneath
the water one of these gates is raised
to permit fish to enter. On the other
hand, an auxiliary door on the shaft
let's down and prevents fish from swim
ming around to the back side Of the
guides or into the space normally oc-
cupied by the carrier when the latter
ascends. The operation of the device

Millinocket-Those who are interest
ed in the conservation of game in the
district around Millinocket are very
much perturbed at the prospects Of the
future. The game wardens have now
been roughly speaking, put on to half
time. Half is spent in the employ Of
the state watching for infractions of
the game and fish laws. and during the
other half the warden is privileged to
seek living at some other occupation.
The arrangement is immensely popular
with poachers and since it has come
into force have been undoubtedly busy
among deer and moose. Great in
roads have been made among herds of
deer. even though they are really of
little use for food now. Sportsmen Of
the right type feel grieved that the
game commissioners cannot see their
way to grant adequate protection to the
game in close time and see that the in
evitable result will be the depletion Of
the game supply when the season
opens.
