T. B. Pursley was somewhat out of
luck with his auction sale of personal
property that took place Tuesday.
The sale was first advertised for the
18th OF May but rain interfered with
the proceedings. Again a new date
was set, May 26, and again rain had
the effect of keeping many away Still
taere was quite a number of buyers
present Tuesday, drawn by the state
ment that COW would be given away.
John l.. Russell was the lucky man to
draw the COW.
Marshal Weldon arrested two drum
mers Wednesday evening on a charge
of drunk and disorderly, and Thurs
day morning Judge Hadley, may his
shadow never grow less, fined the
prisoners $50 and costs which made
the seance quite expensive. Besides
the monetary loss one of the birds had
to sleep in Jail all night after having
lost two teeth by running his mouth,
the exercise of which got him into
trouble, against the fist of his COM
panion in booze.
w. r. Grant received a letter Tues
day from his son Lloyd, who is with
the drilling outfit of the Orovile-Oka-
hogan Oil company over in Montana,
~.'A e'S Aao 10 over Ine
prospects ahead for the success of the
well. He states that the we'll is now
down $50 feet and the drill is working
smoothly and making depth rapidly.
He further says that indications of oil
are more pronounced as drilling pro-
gress. All of which is cheering
news to the stockholders off in this
corner of the world who are beginning
to feel more and more confident that
they are in on a good thing.
One of the heaviest storms that has |
visited this section of the country for |
a period beyond recollection swept |
around the valley Tuesday afternoon,
yet strange to say, only a compare |
lively few drops fell Immediately in
this part of the valley Black and
clouds piled up to the west
ward and it could be seen in the dist
ance that heavy rain was falling. The
storm swung around to the north and
hen over into the hill country to the
east and very deluge seemed to be
soaking that section of the county.
The demonstration was accompanied
~ some electrical disturbance but
lid not last very long. |,

2 Old King Winter certainly played
a joke on the people Of Augusta. and
in fact the entire New England
states, yesterday, when lie showed
that he was still young in spirit even
though old in months by unloosins
the snow clouds for q fall Of about
s inches. He sent along some
vicious winds from the north that
swirled and twirled the light flakes
around and around in a manner that
was extremely annoying to the SUI
perintendents and traffic managers
of the steam ad electric railroads in
this vicinity. The Androscoggin G.
Kennebec road suspended operations
about noon with cars showed in on
the Waterville and Lewiston lines
and the Maine Central trains were
far off their schedules. trains from
the west being from three to four
hours late while trains from the east
were running closer to schedule time.
Steam plows, electric plows or
street plows made little impression
on the snow during the day as it was
drifted back into the cuts almost as
soon as it was lifted out. The city's
plows made some effort to keep the
streets cleared but their efforts were
Of little avail. Water street was
changed overnight from bare to snow
covered ground, resembling the usual
midwinter scenes.
Superintendent G. w. Bowie was
not at all optimistic regarding the
time that service would be resumed

that all cuts that had been cut out
we're filled again TO the depth of from

vented from ending her life when
she attempted to leap from a VIM

Mrs. SaludeS was clear-eyed, calm
and almost defiant as she heard the
Jury foreman pronounce her guilty.
Ihen she closed her eyes. Deputy
