KEMP NOW ELIGIBLE
FOR APPOINTMENT TO
PLACE UPON BENCH

Today is February s. Judge S. E.
Kemp, assistant u S. attorney, is
now eligible for an appointment to the
local circuit bench. IT,.
But whether Judge Kemp will be
appointed Judge of the third division,
which bench has been vacant since
Justice James L. Coke was elevated
to the supreme bench, remains mat,
ter of pure conjecture.
Kemp's friends here and also fed
eraf officials assert that the Texas man
will be the choice of the department.
Judge William L. Whitney is sche-
nled to retire from the second division
of the circuit on February Is. He
may remain on the bench few days
more, however, IL the. Kahana land
case iss not completed by the middle
of the month";. s@., q -.. -....
The dfailure sof Washington to ap-
point the new judges this month
would mean the throwing of all court
work on the shoulders of Circuit
Judge, Ashford, who now is handling
the work OF. the grand jury as well as
attending to a horde of civil matters
in his own division. In local legal
circles the appointments are expected
daily. TX. ~

Fire Departments Receives Two Calls

The Skowhegan Fire Department
has responded to two calls during the
past week
The first occurred last Saturday
morning when an alarm from box AZ,
rung in by Charles Gamage, called
the firemen to the poultry farm on
Silver street at 1885 a m. o. d.
Wells who was the previous owner,
had sold out his business the first of
April, to Warren Caldwell of Madi-
son.
The fire presumably caught from
one of the brooders and was so well
under way when the department ar
rived upon the scene, that it was use
less to attempt to save the brooder
house and all efforts were made to
protect the other buildings which
were very near the burning building
The wind was blowing away from the
house and barn and this, together
with the water which was used by
the fire fighters, saved the rest of the
property
AS it was. the damage is estimated
at about $4,000 and there is no insur-
ance. About 1000 little chicks were
burned and about 25OO eggs which
we're in the incubators. The recall
was sounded at two o'clock.
The second, was at eight O'Clock
Tuesday morning, the firemen re-
spending to a still alarm for a chin
ney fire in the dwelling house on Mt.
Pleasant avenue owned by Mrs. Mel
Briggs. One tank from the chemical
was used and little, if any, damage
resulted.
