IN KENNEBEC CASE,
CURTIS VS.. NIXON

The following per curlam rescrlpt mas
oeen handed down from the law court
in the Kennebec county cas-, George
H. Curtis of Augusta vs. l.. o. Nixon
OF Watervile:
The plaintiff recovered verdict OF
si06 SO for DANA ges sustained IN an au-
tomobie collision. The Issue was legal
liability on the part of the defendant.
AS is usual in this class of cases, the
testimony was sharply contradictory.
The jury sustained the plaintiffs con-
tention, and the evidence abundantly
iustifies the verdict. The responsibility
was placed, where it belongs, on the de-
PENDANT.
Motion overruled.

This is an action of assumpsit to re-
cover for services rendered during Pc
Rod of five and one-half years. That
services were rendered is not contro-
verified. Their amount and value were
the contested issues. The verdict was
in the sum of s1712 Had these issues
been submitted to the court in the first
instance our finding would have been
somewhat less But we are unable to
say that the conclusion OF the jury in
this case, which was Of character Pc

indicate passion or prejudice on their
part or failure to appreciate the force

Meteor Fell Sunday
army service

A meteor fell Sunday evening at
about II o'clock somewhere in this
neighborhood. The falling was seen
by many people, but no reports Of
the celestial visitor having been
found is recorded. From Fort Yates
it looked fas though 1t fell straight
north Of town about three OF four
miles. From Mclaughlin itappear.
ed as though 1t fell this side of Fort
Yates. The meteor must have been
as large as a house, Judging BY the
glow it gave out, as it illuminated
the heavens for miles. It was a
phenomenon that does not occur
frequently, and which but few
people are fortunate enough to
witness.

My Dear Mrs. LaFramboise:-
Reports have reached us recently
as to your splendid service and
activity in behalf of the Red Cross
at your place and in the organiza-
ton Of a Branch in connection with
the Corson County Chapter.
As each county in the state has
been organized as q unit with juris-
diction throughout by the County
Chapter, it has been our thought
that each county should have full
credit for the work done and &C.
complished. This is, a matter of
self-interest, as we'll as self.pride. in
the work completed and member
ships secured. A record is kept
not only as to contributions, but of
the work put out, at the Division
Headquarters at Minneapolis.
We want to thank you in behalf
of the State organization for what
has been accomplished by you and
through the activities of the people
in your community.
Very sincerely,
Robert ]. Gamble.

Dear Christ.
We left Chicago last evening at
9:45 and stopped, there for three
hours. 1t. is raining out of doors,
aud we can see some very large
steamboats, on the lake from the
train. Every town we come to
there are swarlns Of girls waving at
us. In Chicago the street cars had
to stop until the waviug and cheer
ing was over. All well so far. Ny
regards to all. Goodbye.
Sincerely,
PVT. Michael Halsey,
Co. B., 3B1 Inf, 91st Div.
