WILD NIGHT
AT SEARSPORT

Searsport, Me, Aug. 3--One OF the
most terrific electrical storms in the
memory of the oldest inhabitants
seemed to center over this section
Wednesday night continuing far into
the night and many people stayed up
until nearly morning. Although the
lightning struck in many places no
very serious damage was done and no
fires started in the immediate vicin-
ity. A bolt struck the barn on the es-
tate Of Mrs. Hannah Carver SCATTERING
the roof. At North Searsport several
large trees were shattered and the
bolts came so near the farm buildings
that is was a night of terror for the
people. At Monroe, George Parker's
barn was struck, also the barn Of Capt.
Frank Bussey. which was set on fire
but the blaze was extingushed The
lines of the Penobscot Bay Electric
Co. between Belfast and Stockton were
out of commission all day and the
light service was not resumed until
Thursday.

Charles A. Brooks of Augusta was
arraigned before the municipal court
at o'clock Friday afternoon to answ-
er to the charge of driving an auto
mobile at an unreasonable rate of
speed on the city highways, in VIOLA
ton of the law, which charge was
preferred against him by Special Po-
liceman William E. keay, who alleged
that the act on the part of Mr.. Brooks
took place Friday noon on State
street, from the State House down
toward Hallowell until the respondent
passed from sight. Mr.. Brooks was
represented by Burleigh Martin and
entered a plea of not guilty.
Evidence introduced by the prose-
cution indicated that the respondent
at the time he passed Capitol street
was driving his automobile at the rate
of from IS to 80 miles per hour, but
the respondent claimed that he was
not driving his car, which is a six
cylinder Wescott, at a rate exceeding
Is miles per hour. After listening to
the evidence and argument the court
found the respondent guilty and i'm
posed sentence of SIS and costs, from
which an appeal was taken. The res
pondent was then ordered to recognize
in the sum of $50 for appearance at
the September term of the superior
court. He was allowed to go upon his
own recogniZance.
