McDurmott Dies
While Riding

James McDurmOtt, OF uncertain
residence was found dead In an au
tOmobile Wednesday upon its arrival
at lockwood. Several men employed
by the Great Northern Paper Com
pany were transferred from the
Pittston farm to lockwood. one of
the members being McDurmott.
When the men got out of the car at
lockwood they discovered that Nc
Durmott. although sitting up was
dead. Death is supposed to have
been caused either by heart failure
or apOpleXy. McDurmott was a man
of about fifty years of age. He en-
tered the employ of the Great
Northern Paper Company at Ban
gor and had been working for them
only a few days. 1t is presumed that
he was native of New Brunswick
or some other Canadian Province. An
undertaken from Greenville took
charge of the body. Sheriff John A.
Mooers was unable through a
thorough search in Bangor to ind
out anything concerning the diseased
mans relatives. If no relatives are
found the body will probably be bur-
led at Greenville.

Minister and, should the government lose the elections it is not impossible that he will be an emergency Prime Minister again although the chances would favor Asquith, his former su- perior, his senior in years and service but by no means his superior in energy and resource.
 A significant fact is that the people in this country know great deal more about English affairs thap they did years ago. Many of rSem have seen and heard Lloyd George. and while his habitual policy of saying and doing the complimentary thing at the proper time does not fool the Amer jean people when they look back at his visit here and realize how very complimentary 10 Us he was, never thetess because they do know him and have seen him they are interested. It would not be at all strange if Lloyd George did stage his almost inevitable comeback in spite of the fear the English men of affairs will feel were they to make d change.

opposed to making this reeommenla- ton. As Il matter of fact it is moi probable that such owner would be held liable for damages caused by slippery walks. even though the city were abSolvcd from liability. The property owner. however, may pos sibly and is sometimes held liable where the defect in the walk does not come from SHOW and ice, but from something over which the owner of the property has especial charge.
 The claims against the city. in the winter which season is fast approach ing. amount to considerable sum of money before the winter is over, but it is extremely doubtful If d fairer arrangement would result to all con cerned were the property-owner to be held liable as well as the city. In such case there would be individuals who would have to pay the whole damage, possibly, where they were not wholly culpabe. As the matter stands all the taxpayers of the city share the burden, and thus divided the share of each is small. Ahsolv- ing the city from all liability, on the other hand. would place those who suffered dama ees because of slippery walks, In position where they would not be compensated for injury for which they were not to blame.
 The Meriden case is mentioned to emphasize the fact that a moral duty rests upon property owners, if not a legal obligation. The claims against the city, this winter, should be kept down by united action of property owners in cooperating with the police in keeping the walks clear of ice from the very first snowfall that comes to bless or otherwise affect us.
