and Jacob H. Berman Of Portland fol
the plaintiff; George b. Hutchins anc
Ralph T. Parker Of Rumford for defend
ants.
The date of the alleged assault is Sept
20, 1915, and the plaintiff alleges tina
late in the evening of that day thu
defendants, who were then deputy sher
ifs, came to the Zanoni house on PINE
Street and demanded entrance, and were
finally admitted by Mr.. Zanoni, husband
of the plaintiff. In the writ 1t is de
clared that the defendants with force
and arms In and upon said plaintiff die
make an assault and her the said plain
tiff did then and there bruise, wound
and iii treat and place in great feal
mentally by making wanton, wilful

Work Of sherlffs.

Following some picking Of pockets q
the West Oxford fair at frye6ure Wed.
nesday, one suspected party Wa arrest.
Cd and now ID awaiting . continued
hearing, and three others eluded the
officers and took to the woods.
Between half past Ave and six In the
aftsrnoon, Sheriff Harry d. Cole OF
South Paris and Deputy Sheriff Harry
Q. Stimson OF Norway, who had been on
the fair grounds during tho day, were q
the Fryeburg railroad station looking
for some men whom they had seen on
the grounds. They saw four men down
the track toward Brownffeld, and went
down that way. The men walked
rapidly away from them for . while,
and then turned and came back. When
the parties met Sheriff Cole had some
conversation with the men, and told
them to come back to the station with
him. sho wing his badge when they ask.
ed for bic authority.
The men who said they were killing
time waiting for the train which left In
about an half an hour, seemed unwill.
ing to 60 with the officers, and the latter
each took hold Of Q man 20 enforce the
command. The man whom Stimson
took hold of wriggled out Of his two
coats, leaving them In Stimson's hands
and throwing Stimson against rail Of
the track. The man whom Sheriff
Cole took hold Of broke away, but Mr..
Cole pulled his gun and fred, shooting
wide but bringing each shot nearer.
The man ran short distance and
stumbled and fell, saying he Was al in,
and the officers secured him and put
the handcuffs on him. The other three
had meanwhile got into the cover of the
bushes beside the track.
The arrested man was brought to jail,
and the next day in the Norway NUM-.
cipal Court was arraigned on the charge
Of larceny from the person. On request
of Sheriff Cole, the hearing was adjourn
ed for week, until Thursday Of this
week, to enable him to summon wit.
nesses, and bail was fixed at $400. The
prisoner was represented by Louis j.
Brann Of Lewiston. he expects to secure
bail and be released some time Monday.
The prisoner gives the name of Frank
harris. When the officers talked with
the men on the railroad track, they said
they all came from Portland, but Harris
seem to be with Boston
rather than Portland. he had seventy
dollars in currency in his pockets when
arrested.

oeod PAR Of West ozierd Society,
UPHoLDs IT'S REPUTATION GAINED By
Many FINE xxHmrT1oas.

Barring the rain Of Thursday which
interfered with attendance and the days
events, the fair Of the West Oxford Agri.
cultural Society 1t Fryeburg last week
was 3 worthy succsssof OF the long line
Of fairs Of that society, and It drew the
patronage which such . show shonld
have.
The society ID particularly fortunate
in having such . place for IT. fairs
practically dead level piece Of ground In
the valley Of the Saco, OF moro than suf-
ficlent area for any country fair, and we'll
adapted TO ito purpose. Nor need Il be
considered solely from lie utilitariau
qualities, the esthetic instincts may also
have play; for looking across the valley
ones eyes rest upon q magnificent line
OF mountains ut only few miles' dis
lance, with Kearsarge, or Pequawket.
whichever name you tolerate, rising high
into the blue and dominating tho scene.
Two days Of good weather favored the
society on Tuesday and Wednesday, be-
fore the clouds began to gather. and the
people came to the fair In numbers.
While the fair 10 not 20 near any large
center of population as some Of the
others Of the state, that fact makes little
difference In these days. On Wednesday
the spacious grounds were filled with
people, and more than filled with auto
mobiles. From all over western Maine
and some of New Hampshire they came,
and there were numerous cars from
other states. 1t was one Of the largest
crowds that has ever been seen on the
grounds.
The officers of the society for this year
