Boston University nine received its
worse defeat of the season at the
hands of the fast Bar Harbor team
yesterday, on the latter's grounds,
when the local summer school team
was swamped by the score of IA
to 0.
With Louis Burke on the mound
for the University team and Joe
Leete working in the box for Bar
Harbor, indications pointed toward
the game developing into pitchers
battle, as these two moundsmen
went along nip and tuck for the fipst
four innings, with Bar Harbor one
run in the lead. 1t was in the fifth
inning that the Bar Harbor nine,
aided by timely hits and loose field
| ing on the part of the Boston Uni
, versity team, rolled up seven runs,
practically cinching the game.
Again, in the eighth, the Bar Harbor
team got busy, adding six more
tallies to its score, bringing its total
to IA.
In justice to Louis Burke, who has
been performing brilliantly in the
box for the summer school in all its

Wills and Sons Suit Against Bate
County Settled.

Written Tor The Times.
The case of Wills and Sons against
Bates County pending in the United
States District Court at Kansas City
was settled on the goth day of June.
From the fact that this case has been
pending for a number of years and
was one wherein the plaintiff sought
a judgment for large sum OF money
against Bates County, we believe our
readers will be interested in its his
tory.
Wills and Son had al contract to
dig part of the big drainage ditch
south OF Prairie City. The county on
behalf of the drainage district re-
fused to pay them for work they
claimed they had done upon the
ground that they had not complied
with their contract. They instituted
suit against Bates County in
April, 1909, in the United States
District Court in Kansas City.
There were number of trials
and appeals to- higher courts.
November "a, 1920, special judg-
-ment was had in favor OF said Wills
and Sons against Bates county, in
the amount of $42,6o1.43 with inter-
est at 6 per cent from December IA,
1917, to be paid out of funds belong
ing to the drainage district.
On May 18TH writ of mandamus
was issued out of the U. S. District
Court against Bates County COM
manding it to pay said judgment.
Now Bates county had BEEN hold
ing since July 10, 1913, $4,000 be-
longing to the drainage district for
the purpose of indemnifying it
against any money that the county
should have to pay and was there
fore willing to pay this amount as
part payment ON the said judgment
The drainage district obtained in
February, 1920, two judgments
against Bates County the same being
on assessments against the county
for benefits to the public highways
in the territory of the drainage dis
trict. The total amount OF the said
judgments with interest on July 5,
1922, was $12,o51.o8 The drainage
district having agreed with Wills and
Sons that the amount due on these
might be credited on the
Judgment they held against the dis
trict, the United States court ordered
that Bates County issue warrants for
The amount OF the said two judg-
ments and further that Bates County
levy on the property of the county
&c on the hundred dollars for the
year. 1922, and like amount for the
year 1923 for the purpose of paying
the amount of the said two judg-
lnents and also ordered that the
drainage district issue warrants in
The sum OF $47o8o2 being amount OF
The balance due on Wills and Son,
as agreed upon under
compromise between the drainage dis
riot and the said Wills and, Sons, al
er the said $4,000 and the S1e,o5I.oS
vas applied on the said Judgment
md that the drainage district levy a
ak on the property in the said dis
riot sufficient to pay these warrants.
The compromise as made by the
Irainage district with Wills and
sons, is saving to the Drainage
District of $S7ST.3S.
The part Bates County has in the
ettlement OF judgment OF Wills and
sons is to comply with the mail
Janus of L. S. Court and pay the
judgments it owes the drainage dis
riot, to Wills and Sons.
