league has yet brought forth is the
possible sale of the Pittsburgh Pr
rates by Barney Dreyfuss 10 James
Z. Gaffney. who owned the Boston
Braves when they won the worlds
series from the Athletics in 1914.
If Mr.. Gaffney decides TO buy the
Pirates he will very probably buy
the release of Johnny EveTs from
Boston and appoint him manager.
The efforts which have been made
for the last two DAYS TO keep the
negotiations under cover failed yes

Johnny Evers had two-hour con-

kept him out of the game last sum-
mer for so many weeks. He stated
recently that next season would
probably be his last as a player.

case, which was tried at the September
term of the supreme court for Andros-
coggin county and resulted in a verdict
for the plaintiff for $3747.6S. It is be-
fore the law court on motion and ex-
ceptions. Frank A. Morey of McGilli-
cuddy G. Morey Of Lewiston argued for
the plaintiff and John Z. Nelson of the
law firm of Andrews & Nelson of this
city for the defendant.
The admitted facts were that John d.
Clifford on June 13. 1914 was a contrac-
tor residing at Lewiston. His family
consisted of his wife. two daughters and
two sons. one son being John D. Clifford,
Jr, young man 27 years of age who
made his home with his father The
defendant had purchased an automobile

ant, John d. Clifford, Jr.. on the night of

tanning man and woman. the woman
being thrown out. The action was
brought against the young mans father.

time of the accident was at Washington,

took no part in the negligence, if any.
that there was no evidence to show for
what purpose John D. Clifford, Jr had
the car out that night, and that it was
incumbent upon the plaintiff to show a
servant in his masters business
Attorney Morey in stating the plain
| tifs contention said that on the night
of the accident Mr.. and Mrs. Farnham
had driven in a beach wagon to Lewis
ton to attend a theatre and were on their
way to their home in New Gloucester.
1t was between II and II O'Clock. Mr..
and Mrs. Farnham saw the automobile
approaching with no lights except a
fash light which the young man was
carrying. One of the occupants Of the
team thought that it was motorcycle
approaching as it had but one light Mr..
Farnham drove out into a ditch as far
as he could but even then the left
wheels of the wagon were in the tray
cled part of the road
| The automobile did not slow down

striking the wagon and throwing out
both its occupants. The plaintiff was
carried in the automobile to Hotel At

until she was taken to her home. The

the defendant was registered in the
name of his son. not according to law.
