was heard in district court before
Judge Leighton Monday, Attorney Car
roll appearing for the former and Nc
Gee & Goss for the latter. 1t appears
that sometime ago Alfred Mccoy, rep
resenting the Deering district, circu-
lated petition to get about fourth
of the Maryland district attached to
Deering. The petition had sufficient
number of signers, but later the Mary
landites got busy and circulated a pc
tition asking that the district be left
intact and this was signed by many
who had signed the former petition.
