HIGHLAND PIT. COUPLE
FACE COURT
Trevor Howes and Wife Charged with
Assault with Intent to Kill

Trevor Howes of Highland Planta-
ton and his wife, Vivian Howes were
before Judge Sawyer of Skowhegan,
last Thursday charged with assault
with intent to kill upon Edward Ash
croft of Pleasant Ridge Plantation.
The warrants were sworn out by Ash
croft and the arrests were made by
Deputy Sheriffs Croker and Cook.
The evidence presented tended to show
that Ashcroft was decoyed from his
work In Pleasant Ridge on the after
noon of April %. 1922 and later in
duced to enter an automobile driven
by Mrs. Howes, 1t was said. He tes-
titled that she drove to point in a
lonely woods road and there sounded
tho auto horn as signal to her hus-
band who was hiding in the woods,
meanwhile pointing revolver at Ash
croft's head to prevent him from
jumping from the car, it is claimed.
1t is also claimed that Howes ap-
peared quickly and jumping into the
car struck Ashcroft with some instru-
ment in the face which rendered him
nearly unconscious and that Howes
continued beating the PROSTATE man
while the car was driven a mile by
Mrs. Howes to a point further into
the woods Ashcroft it Is said was
terribly beaten and wounded and left
by the roadside with an admonition
from Howes never to let him hear of
the affair Ashcroft it seems after
the fracas proceeded with great diff
ficulty to the nearest house and when
arriving there, which was the home
of a Mr.. Steward, presented ter
rible spectacle and was covered with
blood, it is alleged. 1t is also claim
ed that from the effects of this beat
ing Ashcroft was laid up for about
six weeks and has never since re-
covered, his wounds plainly showing
at this time. The motive for this
deed is uncertain as neither Howes
nor his wife offered any testimony.
| According to an officer, the officials
believed that 1t had to do with a bill
of about $3.50 which Ashcroft claim
ed was due him from Howes for
work previously done. 1t is further
alleged that the evidence showed this
assault to be the third one upon Ash
croft by the SAME man and In view
| of this fact County Attorney Thorne
asked that in addition to furnishing
bonds in the sum of $500 for his APP
pearance in court, that Howes also
be placed under bond of $1,000 to
keep the peace for one year, both
of which were secured by the res
pondnt. Mrs. Howes was also held
in the sum of $500. for her appear
ance at the September term of court.
Ashcroft claimed as the reason why
he had never made a complaint of
the assault that he feared the res
pondent and therefore kept silent. 1t
was only by accident that Sheriff
Mooers and his deputies came upon
this evidence while searching for in
formation in another case and lost
no time in bringing the parties into
court.

THEY SEE ONE OF THE BEST MOTHERS IN
THE WORLD. :.

? ''I'd like that life myself If I
were an acrobat" unused Bobby.
OFF we started for the forest
where my native friend had told
me of the orang. utan. He led
us through a thicker to the tree
where the orang-utan lived.
It was getting toward sunset
and we took our position in an.
other tree, where we could watch
for the mother and her baby.
We waited a while and soon we
heard a cracking among tho
branches and there, swinging her
self from limb to limb, came the
great monkey, carrying her baby
almost in the same fashion that
woman would carry baby I'M
der one arm.
"Look at her." I whispered, as
she laid the baby down in the
crotch Of the tree and started to
work very busily.
She pulled twigs off the tree and
laid them down in another crotch
of the tree, making a regular plat
form. Then she lined it with
leaves and moss and then lay
down and wiggled all around, like
q dog does before he goes to sleep.
"She's making q new nest" said
I to my native guide, who, fortu-
nately, understood English.
YES" he answered. "She makes
one every evening""
"You don't mean it?" I ex-
claimed.
"She's a good housekeeper, isn't
she?" whispered Bobby.
Eyes," said I, as we saw the big
mother take her baby tenderly in
her arms to nurse it. "And no
one could accuse her of being lazy,
either, could they?"
We left the woods before It got
dark and I shall always remember
the great monkey and her baby
settling down for the night.

guess without his telling me that
he'd gone practically without
sleep in order to follow the man
Envy took for Neal.
i. I wondered IL Jim would offer
me money again. A few weeks
before he had offered financial
help, but he'd done it with such
bad grace and with such scorn
of Neal and my faith in him, that
pride had driven me to reject his
offer. And then Jim's pride took
fire in turn and he vowed that
he'd never again offer to help
unless begged him to.
My eyes misted and my heart
beat with slow, delicious languor
as / realized how Jim had allied
himself with me and what Is my
life work. / put out my hand to
take Jim's. But something stop
ped me just as was about to
touch him but he was sound
asleep.
I sank back quietly and
watched him tenderly until the
taxi turned the corner to our
apartment. Then. knowing how
Jim resents making a spectacle
of himself, woke him quietly 50
neither the taxi driver nor our
doorman should take him at. q
disadvantage by finding him
asleep. thus publicly and in broad
daylight.
BACK TO THE SUBJECT.
Jim blinked, grinned boyishly.
nlurmured something about forty
winks, and then as the taxi
stopped at our door ne got out
and handed. me to the sidewalk
with the grace Of which he is
postmaster.
1t wasn't until after dinner,
however, that he showed any
signs of being willing to return
to the subject so near my heart.
Although longed to hear every
syllable Of what had happened
from the moment when Envy
glimpsed the man on the dock to
the time when Jim returned de-
feated In his search for Neal. I
held myself in leash until Jim
was ready to talk. With his
after-dinner pipe Jim returned to
the unfinished account of his ad-
ventures.
