Years OF age, employed in the street
department in Saco, and boarding at
Is Storer street, was found dead in
bed, at an early hour this morning by
his landlady, Mrs. Goodale. He had
complained of feeling badly the night
before, and Mrs. Goodale applied
home remedies for Indigestion, of

room and receiving no response to
her calls, investigated and found the

On Friday afternoon Mrs owen and
the happy troupe who will present the
drama my Brothers Keeper" Friday
evening went to Waterville to- make
purchases for the play. The last act
requires dress suits. New hats and
other raiment for the actresses are
delighting the youthful performers.
Friday night was devoted to individ-
ual rehearsals. as three of the cast
were away on basketball trip. There
will be a dress rehearsal Saturday
afternoon. There is much enthusiasm
at the school over the production to-
night. 1t is also expected that there
will be % good attendance from out
side the school, since an opportunity
is seldom had to see a drama Of this
kind.
Work is going forward on the next
issue of Oak Leaves, which is due to
come out next month. The editors

claimed that Mr.. Scates Is an expe-
rienced trapper. having learned the art
from his uncle. the late James Scates.
About the middle of last October he
had commenced trapping and had later
brought 40 furs that he had caught to
Augusta and had sold them TO the Au-
gusta Tallow Co. He claimed that he
had caught all of the furs which he
had sold 10 the company. and knew
nothing about Mr.. Furbish's furs.
The respondent. Mr.. Scates of Mt
Vernon, testified that he was brought
up with his uncle, James Scates. He
had worked in Boston in 1919, but
since last March he had been at Mt.
Vernon. About the middle of last Oc-
tober he started in trapping. He caught
three skunks, minks and some musk
rats. His uncle had taught him in the
art of trapping and the manner of
skinning the animals. The furs which
he got by trapping he sold to the Au-
gusta Tailow Co. All OF the furs. he
said. were trapped by him and he had
on the date alleged sold them to the
company. He illustrated to the jury
the manner of stretching furs and he
showed the manner in which he identi-
fled his furs. There were 40 furs which
he had sold to the company. A few
days later he had come to Augusta
with suitcase full of clothes. He did
not have a trapper's license because he
did not know the laws of Maine. He
did not know about Kurdish having
any furs until he had been arrested by
the sheriff. He stated that he never
stole any furs from Kurdish and knew
nothing about Furbish's furs. He had
never before been arrested for crime.
Cross-examined by, County Attorney
Sanborn, he said that he did not come
to Augusta on December ]. but his
father had come on matters of BUSH
ness that day. He did his trapping on
the Belgrade stream, mostly on his
fathers land. He had permission from
the different land owners to trap there
Just before he sold those furs, he had
sold two lots of furs to a Boston firm
He had about 80 traps and before he had
sold the furs, he had about 100 furs in ALI
He said that his traps had been taken
from the house after the municipal court
hearing. He could not find them. His
traps were all marked with his name,
he testified. The matter was thorough
ly investigated in the lower court, he
said. He had been before the municipal
court on the charge of stealing watch
in 1913. he stated. but he had been dis
charged after the hearing.
The arguments were then made by
Attorney Martin for the respondent
and County Attorney Sanborn for the
State. and Judge Beane gave the charge
to the jury.

EQUITY HEARING
Chief Justice Cornish Renders Deei-
sion in Favor of Defendants in
Case of Moses A. Gordon VS.. w. n.
Chadbourne and Albert !. Gordon

Hearing was held before Chief Jus
tce Leslie c. Cornish on Friday morn
ing at the court house in the equity
case brought by Moses A. Gordon of
Cumberland. Nd. against w. II. Chad
bourne of East Waterford and Albert
l. Gordon of Mt. Vernon asking for a
temporary injunction to restrain the
defendants from cutting any more tim
Der from a wood lot in Mt. Vernon.
1t appeared that Moses and Albert
Gordon had given Mr.. Chadbourne,
Nov. 10, 1915, conveyance of the
standing timber on the lot with the
right to remove it within five years, but
whatever was left at the expiration of
the five years should revert to the own
ers. The agreement expired by its
terms on November IS. 1920. Mr.. Chad
bourne obtained on June last written
extension of time on the part of Albert
Gordon for his interest. but had re-
ceived no extension from Moses Cor
don. The dependents claimed, however,
that Albert had talked the matter over
with Moses, October last, and had told
him the-situation and that no objec-
ton was raised by Moses. Therefore
Mr.. Chadbourne began the operations
this year and proceeded to cut the re-
naming 10000 feet. All of this has
now been cut except about 10000 feet
Plaintiff claimed that Mr.. Chadbourne
was trespasser and should be en-
joined from proceeding further. De-
PENDANT claimed that Moses was
stopped from setting up his claim be-
cause of his conversation with his
brother. and further that the, plaintiff
had an adequate remedy at law and
that operations were practically COM
pleted.
Decision was rendered by Chief Jus
tice Cornish in favor of the defendants
and temporary injunction was denied.
Ellsworth l.. Peacock of Readfield was
counsel for the plaintiff and Tascus At
wood of Auburn was attorney for the
defendants.

years of age was the first witness.
Her, mother was the wife Of Mr.. Bel
lows, she testified. She had lived
about four years with Mr.. and Mrs.
Bellows, leaving there last August.
She testified that she and her sister
Edna had assisted Mr.. Bellows in
cultivating the potatoes and beans,
and that upon three occasions she
had been assaulted by Mr.. Bellows
while in the potato and bean plots
She testified that she had told he's
mother about these assaults. The
er occasions had acted in an Indecent
manner towards her and had used
quite lot of bad language. She told
about Bellows and her mother going
away and said that she afterwards
received a letter from her mother in
Canada. And she told about near
ing at WaterviIle in which Mr.. Prem
tiss had been given temporary custo-
dy of her.
Upon cross examination, she said
that there was a boy named Chester,
16 years of age, who worked there,
and that Mr.. Bellows had sent the
boy to the house on an errand just
before the assault. She said that
each time Bellows had told her not
to tell her mother and that each time
she had told. She testified that DR..
Mayberry had attended her after she
had slipped and fallen out of sleigh
and had been hurt. She had since
talked the matter over with Mrs.
Prentiss. She had told it before the
county attorney and before Attorney
Bridges. She did not remember that
she had made the statement to the
effect that Mr.. Bellows had never
done those things. She remembered
of signing two papers, at Attorney
Bridges Office but she said she did
not know what she was signing. She
said she was scared. She remembered
that the stenographer at the Office
took some notes on what she was
saying and then typewrote a papNr.
She said that she is on good terms
with her father who is in Canada, but
that her father does not like Mr.. Bel
lows. She had never talked the mat
ter over with her father.
The. paper which Elsie Harrison
had signed was then read by the
county attorney She said that it
was not read over to her before she
signed it. The paper stated in sub
stance that she. under oath, declared
that Mr.. Bellows or anyone else bad
never had any improper relations with
her. She testified that at the office of
Attorney Bridges, Mr. Bridges had
told her what would happen If she
did not stand up for Mr.. Bellows and
her mother. Mr.. Bellows had asked
her what she means by telling those
things which were untrue and had
asked her if she wanted to see him
behind the bars. She said that b afocc
they left the office. Mr.. Bridges told
her mother to take her home and
talk with her.
Again cross-examined. she testified
that Attorney Bridges had impressed
upon her the importance of telling the
truth and she had afterwards signed,
the paper.
The case was then suspended for
the day and court was adjourned to
10 O'Clock, Saturday morning.
