Military Servce-County Commissioners Hold Regular
Session Tuesday-COunty Finances

Henry 3. Marshall who has been
confined for over a week IN the
county jail in connection with
horse case was given his freedom on
Monday afternoon and allowed to re-
turn to his home four miles above
West Athens at the end of a cross
road He was taken into court be-
fore Trial Justice T. G. Lord and
there agreed to turn over to Geo. A.
Tilton a harness valued at SIS and
grass seed valued at $40 and also
gave his note for SIS, payable in
monthly instalments of IS each TO
offset the damage and expense
caused Mr.. Tilton by his hiring a
horse from his livery stable which
he did not return. Marshall claimed
that he hired it from another man,
that the man left the horse with
him and that the animal was at his
farm when found. 1t is thought like
~ however that the man who seems
to be decidedly peculiar and hardly
responsible for what he does and
SAYS. had walked to SlloWhegan from
Brighton ON the day that he took
the horse and carriage and after ar
rival hero decided that he did not
want to walk back and consequently
tried a new venture. Sheriff Good
rich produced q letter in court from
the postmaster at New Hamburg,
| Ont, where Marshall formerly lived
stating that he had never given the
officers any trouble there and that
his father was a good citizen.
Marshall seemed greatly relieved to
get his freedom as he has made con-
siderable fuss at the Jail. His fam
lily consists Of a wife and four chill
dron. Tho chairman of the board Of

cumstances of herself and family
