Judge John A. Morrill, of Auburn, Presiding

ton VS.. Amos A. Colcord, Belfast parties.
The action was brought to recover S115. O4,
the amount due on a contract for saving
lumber and building sled for the defend
ant The total sum of the contract was
$500, of which an account showed 1894. 96
had been paid. The plaintiff claimed that
he contracted to saw M feet of lumber
at $5 per M, while the defence was that
the price was 81 and that the work was
not done when agreed, thus leaving him
with the lumber on his farm when the
prices went down and the demand less
urgent for sawed lumber. A large num-
Der of witnesses were called. The jury
after nearly two hours deliberation re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff with
$1,000 A motion for a new trial has
been filed Buzzell for plff; Ritchie for

One of the most complicated cases to
come before the Waldo county court for
several terms was that of Albert E.
Drummond of Burnham VS.. Carol J.
Trickey of Corinna, agent of the Borden
CONDENSED Milk Co. The action was
brought to recover ST, 900 on the sale of
several cows and calves. Trickey loaned
Drummond money to buy seven cows, so
that he could furnish milk for the factory,
and took mortgage on the COWS as Sc
curity. Drummond was to pay at the
rate of SIS per COW during eight months
of the year OF when the factory was in
operation. 1t was claimed by the plaintiff
that the factory ceased to buy milk after
the cows were partially paid for. He was
unable to make the payments, the mort
gage was foreclosed and the cows taken
by the defendant. The plaintiff then
raised the money to pay off the balance,
within the right of redemption, but he
claimed that when he went to clear the
mortgage, the defendant informed him
that the cows and their calves had been
sold. The case went to the jury at 5. 80
p. N. Thursday and at Q O'Clock they re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff with
damages assessed at S1l768. Motion for
a new trial has been filed and the tran
script to be filed on or before May 5th.
