COAL QUESTION
GETTING SERIOUS
UP AT CARIBOU

Caribou. Me-, Nov 1.-THE coal ques-
ton in this section is the cause of no
little amount Of worry because it is al
most impossible to get that fuel here
The dealers are unable to get coal in
Bangor and Portland and attempts to pur-
chase in the larger distributing centers
have thus far been unsuccessful Some
coal has been gotten from Mimic, N. B.,
but as the owners of the coal there have
contracted to furnish a large amount to
the Canadian Pacific Railroad there IS
little hope of a sufficient winters supply
from that section. The coal is selling as
high as SIS a ton here and many of the
people feel lucky to get half dozen bar
rels at this figure. One of the coal dear
ers stated the other day that he needed
100 tors for his immediate orders and
would like to get 500 tons more for the
winter
Wood has advanced to so a cord, but
as the farmers have made a good thing
from their potatoes this year they are not
anxious to bother with hauling wood into
town for perhaps $40 load when they
can make trip in with potatoes and get
10 times that sum.

Jerry REARDON
Captain OF 1917
u. OF N. FOOTBALL

Orono, Me-, Nov. 17.-Jeremiah T.
Reardon. Is, Of Concord, N. H, was
unanimously chosen captain Of the
University football team for the 1917
season at the annual election following
the dinner given to the team by Pres
ident and Mrs. Alley at the presidents
house on the campus Thursday eve
ming.
Reardon, who has played football
for Maine for three years, guarding an
end, was this year an undisputed
choice of the critics who make up the
All-Maine college elevens. He is a
nervy, heady player, knows the game
thoroughly. and rarely ever calls for
time out" He will undoubtedly prove
a popular captain and an able leader,
for he is strong in the qualities of
leadership. He is a member of the
Kappa Sigma fraternity, and also be-
longs to the Sophomore Owls and Ju-
nior Masks. He is a two letter man,
being the catcher of the Varsity base
ball team. and is further q clever bas-
ketball player. The sentiment on the
Maine campus is to the effect that
whatever 1917 may have in store for
the L. Of NJ. in the way Of football
fortunes. the team will have a good
start with such an able captain.
The presidents dinner, which Is an
annual affair, was presided over by
Mrs. Alley alone this year. in the alb
sence OF President Robert J. Alley. who
is attending the meeting of the Asso-
citation Of Agricultural College in
washington. After the election Of the

GOVERNOR WHO
ONCE THOUGHT OF
THE YOUNG FOLKS

President Wilson's delay in officially
appointing Thanksgiving day this year
has brought to the recollection of one
Of this city's oldest merchants the oc-
casion when over so years ago during
the administration of DR.. John Hub
bard of Hauowell as Governor of the
State of Miane. who failed to appoint
Thanksgiving day until after the
month of November had passed, and
finally selected Dec. 10 as Thanksgiv-
ing day, one year. Governor Hubbards
reason for designating such late date
for Thanksgiving was because he
wished the young people to have a
chance to enjoy sleigh riding on that
holiday for one year at least. Strange
to relate no snow had appeared on the
ground when Thanksgiving day at last
arrived on Dec. 10, and a green Christ
mas that year was also chronicled.

from near the lower part Of the right
shoulder blade down and little in
ward towards the spine. He said he
considered the plaintiff at this time
not nearly so>strong as before the ac-
cident. He considered that there was
stiffening at the juncture Of the back
and hips. and thought the injury would
be permanent. His bill was 1921, max
ing the total cash outlay $768.
Counsel for plaintiff in his closing
argument asked the jury to add to the
cash outlay 500 for medicines for the
future. and also $500 for future medical
attendance.
Mr.. Perkins, counsel for defense,
stated in his opening that on the day
of the accident there had been a heavy
fall of damp snow, almost rain at
times; that the car was a closed car,
used only in the winter, and that the
step on which it was claimed the
plaintiff slipped, was q new one Of
| hard wood, iron bound, and was in
first-class condition. He said he would
show that the step had been cleaned
off at Fairfield on that trip, but the
platform and step were wet He claim
ed they would show that the plain
tiff tripped or slipped on the platform
and fell, and that there was no negli-
gence on the part of the railroad.
The superintendent of the road, John
K. Pierce. was the first witness for the
defense. He said the car was an eight
wheeled. closed car. single step, seats
running lengthwise of the car. The
step in question, he said, was a new
one of maple wood bound with iron
and put on In the summer of 1915; and
that the step was in good condition at
the time of the accident.
The next witness was Horace Nadea~,
conductor of the car in question. He stat
ed that 1t had been showing all the eve
ming; that in Fairfield before starting
down on the trip he inspected the plat
form and step and then scraped the snow
off with scraper and then used a broom
He said when Mrs. Davis came out of
the car he told her the step was slip
perry and took hold of her arm. He said
he stood between the controller and the
brake and had hold of her arm as she
stepped out, and that her feet went out
from under her and she fell He said he
could not hold her with one arm very
well. He got out and helped pick her up,
and she was assisted to the drug store
He held his car - to 10 minutes before
starting down to finish his trip to the
south end.
