Family Troubles
Heard Tuesday at
Municipal Court

Alfred BrittOn of this city was ar
raigned Tuesday at the Municipal
court charged with assault and bat
terry The case was continued by
Judge Cony who said that technically
he did not feel that the man was
wholly to Llaroe.
Mrs. Bfitton, the first witness,
stated that her husband had gone
fishing Sunday and THAT he did not
return until late. He had then
started an argument, she said, and
began to pound the pillow of the
bed in which she lay. threatening that
he would hit her the same way. He
was intoxicated at the time she
stated.
She said that she became frighten-
Cd and went TO her sisters house
nearby returning later with her sis
ter. When she came back there were
words. and he suddenly jumped for
her throat but as her sister pulled
her back just then, he did not get
hold of her. lie did, however, grab
her by the arm and hurt her. a.
though there were no marks to show
for it. She then went to neighbCrs
tclephoned to the police, and spent
the rest Of the night with her friend.
Her sister corroborated her in all
particulars that she had had to do
with.
Britton stated that he had been
fishing as was testified, and that he
had been drinking little while on
the trip but that he was not under
the influence of liquor. He said that
they had trouble when he got home
and that lie packed his bag and was
going to leave the house. He placed
the bag on the back door step and
then went out Of the front door
which his wife locked after him. He
then went to some relatives, but not
wanting to get them up at that time
Of night, he went back to the house
where he stayed in the woodshed I'M
til he was very cold. He then was
about to try to get into the house
when he metsh his wife coming back
with her sister and he asked her for
the key which she threw at him. AT
no time during the conversation had
she been nearer than forty feet to
him. He then went into the house
and she stayed at neighbors.
Mrs. Britton was represented by
Attorney Burleigh Martin OF this

vary or to contradict, or to subtract
from or add to, the language Of a
written instrument which speaks for
itself in definite ana final terms;
fraud not being advanced and proved.
The writing is supreme, not be-
cause it is writing, but because it is
the perceptible and self-spcaking in
corporation of the terms agreed to.
While the terms of one agreement
may be abrogated, modified, or waiv-
cd, by another subsequently made.
yet nothing short of cogent proof
will establish the fact Of a change
in that which originally was recip-
rocally done.
In the instant case, the plaintiff
and defendant, under date of a day
in May. 1920, entered into a contract
evidenced by writing, having chiefly
to do with the cutting and the haul
ing, by the plaintiff of pulpwood from
Oxford county land, and the driving
Of the wood by him into boom in
Parmachenee Lake. on the promise Of
being paid a definite price for every
cord; plus the promise of an increase
over that, graduated and limited with
reference to possible advances in
labor costs.
The plaintiff started in on a per-
Torrance. His insistence now Is
that, when about 500 Of n cOntem-
plated 1900 cords of wood had been
cut. the written contract was aband-
oned as a result of new undertakings
by its parties, and that thereafter the
operation was conducted, not under
the written contract, but under now
oral one. which he would rely upon
to recover sums of money alleged to
have been paid by him to finance
that operation, and also to recover
wages for his personal services in
supervision.
1t is sufficient to say, without eX
tending a detailed analysis of the
evidence, that the plaintiffs case.
which is here on report. does not
meet the test in subjective weighing
of clear, convincing and conclusive
proof. The disposing entry must be.

C0NY CIvICS CLASS
HEAR Of WORK LOCAL
CHAMBER COMMERCE

It IL quite likely that the members
OF the civics class at Cony High
school are the best informed people
In Augusta, outside Of the Secretary
and members of the Board OF Dir
ectors, on the subject Of what is
the Chamber Of Commerce." Forty
of the members of the civics class
assembled at the Chamber of Gem
merce rooms Tuesday afternoon to
listen to a half hour lecture by Secre-
tary Clarke in which he reviewed the
work of the past two and a half
years showing how Augusta had
made progress under the leadership
of its civic-commercial organization
and how a true community spirit had
been developed and the city itseltin
the Nmelight as place where peo-
pie worked together and kept things
moving"
At first treated with suspicion and
given but meagre support the or
ganization has won Its way into the
confidence Of the people. It brought
new industrial prospects to the city
but found the city unprepared to re-
of the lesser tasks in order to get
the people working together so that
they could see that by cooperation
they could get results.
Augusta il alive today to her op-
portunities and great many men
are boosters where three years ago
the number who could claim this dis
tinction was very small. The Ameri
canization pageant. a definite piece
Of community work carried on under
Chamber Of Commerce leadership
was a revelation to the people of the
possibilities of this community. It
was community managed, staged, and
written and a decided success. The
winter sports carnival was one OF the
best OF it's kind held anywhere and
here again the community under
Chamber of Commerce leadership
proved itself capable of getting re-
suits. The various trade promotion
schemes, which bring prosperity to
every person in Augusta had done
much to overcome the mail order
house competition and to give people
a vision of what Augusta has to Of
| fer. The recent style show came in
| for praise as community feature.
| The work done by the Chamber of
| Commerce in bringing conventions to
the city, a work which has just bare
~ begun, its place in furnishing en-
ployment to those out Of work. its
task as information bureau both by
desk service and by mail, and its
success in giving Augusta favorable
publicity were each given due at
tention. The job accomplished in the
early days of its existence rr> tring-
/ ing back the Boston boat to the Ken
nebec and the hundreds of smaller
tasks that have filled the hours be-
tween the bigger projects; all of
these things were carefully explain-
| ed to Augustus future citizens.
Secretary Clarke was formerly a
teacher att Kent's Hill and under
stands boys and girls of high school
age. His talk was most interesting
and instructive and filed with meat.
In the future this will be regular
part of his work and the new corners
in each civics class will be gi;en the
story Of what the Chamber of Com
merce is doing to develop Augusta.

A rescript was handed down by the
law court Tuesday in John Graney's
| case, one from Cumberland county,
| under the Workmen's Compensation
Act, sustaining the appeal Of the re-
spondents and dismissing the petit
| ton. In the course of his employ

Coal Company. an injury befell John
| Graney, involving his right hand and
| incapacitating him for work.
Section 16 is invoked by this
plaintiff" says Associate Justice
Charles J. Dunn of Orono, in the re-
script.
"That section lays down a prevail
ing definition as to those, and only
| those, cases which it definitely men
tions," continues the rescript.
"A case not within the prescrip-
| ton is governed by which ever of
other sections may fit the exigency.
Mr.. Graney's injury, not being of the
kinds that that section names, is
| outside it's schedule.
Under the section ruling his care,
proceedings are barred. for, while
the petition was filed before the eX-
piration of two years from the entry
of the decree, still it was not filed
before the expiration of the dcsigna-
ted compensate period There is
| neither nor logical avenue around
