Snow banfng was the spost -.
joyedson the Plains early TUESDAY
morning following the hail storm b. I
tween 2 andi3 o'clock. Large pieces
Of ice were found late in the afta.
noon by e. II. Morrill, and brought
down town for exhibition. The gar.
dens on the Plains section Of the VII.
lage were badly damaged by the bail
and cucumbers were literally chop.
ped up by the deluge of ice. Glass
in windows were reported as being
broken out and numerous trees were
blown over. making sad havoc Of
light and telephone wires in their
wake. A large tree near Grange hall
completely crossed Pleasant street
and stopped travel except on fo't
through that thoroughfare. The il
dications are that the worst Of the
storm was spent in the Plains part d
the town. At Lake Wesserunsett tn
storm was not so intense apparently
and in the Eaton Mountain district
no serious harm was done. Bingham
Norridgewock and Scion apparently
escaped with less damage than Skov.

A cruelty-to-animals case was b.
fore Judge John F. Holman in Ath'
ems Monday, Arthur Ellis Of Athens
and Maurice McCollar Of Brighton
been varraigned on the charge
Of cruelty to old horses. Both men
are alleged to be jockeys and muca
complaint has been made to both tho
town and county officials. The result
is that Sheriff Mooers told Deputy
Sheriff Cook of Athens to take tne
matter in hand and clean up tns
situation. Both Ellis and McColl
pleaded guilty, were fined and settles.
Sheriff Mooers has taken steps
have the whole matter cleaned w
SO that in the future some conditions
especially with regard to the uea.'
ment of old horses will be difieren.
Investigations are being continues
and it is probable that more arress
will be made later. 1t appears .aa'
unreliable parties in the town OF A.a,
ems have been allowed TO have olu
horses and have abused them snams
fully. also that six horses at one tlns
