that the grounds were closed this year
in order that the exhibitors might have

The main thoroughfare was fully

teams. a general scurry and hustle
marked the preparation for the goth
annual Central Maine Fair yesterday.
From early morning until long after
midnight tents were going up, booths
were being decorated and everything
possible being done to make the open

late afternoon yesterday the grounds
began to have the appearance of a
huge carnival. Many Of the "hot dog"

Furnishes $500 Bonds

Andrew j. Matthew of Skowhegan
was sentenced to pay 5000 fine and to
serve 80 days in Jail by Recorder j.
A. Letourneau Saturday morning on
charge of driving motor vehicle
under the influence of intoxicating
liquor. The respondent appealed and
bonds were furnished in the sum of
$500 for his appearance in the Su-
perior court in Augusta.
Matthew was arrested Friday az
ternoon on Carrean street. He came
into court and pleaded not guilty. F.
Harold Duboard was lawyer for the
defence and Thomas N. Weeks rep
resented the State. Officer Louis
Rancourt, James Butler and Frank
Bacon were the States witnesses.
Matthew and his wife also testified.
According to Mr.. Bacon's story
Matthew ran into him Friday after
noon in Oakland on Church street.
He wanted q settlement for $40 but
Matthew said that he could not pay
It. The two went to Blaisdelrs gar
age in Oakland and continued the
argument and then Matthew drove
away. Mr.. Bacon notified the police
in Waterville concerning the car
number and Matthew's name and ne
was arrested.
BIaisdelrs garage testified to hear
ing the argument and that Matthew
appeared drunk.
Officer Rancourt declared on the
stand that Matthew was not drink
ing man and that he was Of good
habits generally. She said that he
left Skowhegan Friday morning for
Waterville and said he would be
home early.
Matthew said that he had not
been drinking up to 3 o'clock Fri
day afternoon and then only one
small drink out of a half pint bottle.
He said he had been working hard
and 1t made him appear drowsy.
He could not fully explain why he
went to Oakland but said he had
started for home.
The Judge deemed the evidence
sufficient to find the respondent
guilty.

the other devices beat q mile. The
caterpillar has "a cars each seating
two fat people or three lean ones.
The cars run over q track at high
speed and the track looks like the
ocean on a rough day. There is an
other feature of this caterpillar that
is going to surprise a lot of people
and the man in charge says to be
sure and tell all who ride to hang
on to their hats. They say there Is
a breeze connected with the cater
piller that is twice as bad as any
hurricane that ever swept the Gulf
of Mexico.

lection of sideshowS.

comes to the cattle. swine, sheep
and horses. If possible the EXHIBITS
are better this year than ever. The
board of judges has a hard job ahead
to award the blue ribbons in this de-
parement.
The poultry department was as
usual in evidence both to the eyes
and ears of the observer. BOOSTERS

gobbling made din that could be
heard all over the grounds. The
poultry exhibits this year are excel
lent. To add to this part of the fair
there are several small animal ex-
hibits. A porcupine near the lower
end of the exhibit attracted much
attention yesterday.
The automobile exhibit was not
much in evidence, although the tent
was already set up an one or two
cars placed. A Fordson tractor,

stuff about the grounds.
The coliseum was a scene Of con-
fusion. Very few of the booths were
completed but many were near
enough to completion to show that
they were going to be pleasing to
the eye. One or two booths were
completed, however, and at one a
sale of drinks and sandwiches was
in progress. Mrs. Wallace was busy
in the Chamber Of Commerce booth
and many of the industrial exhibits
were in place. The following local
concerns will exhibit in this booth:

morning the state rested its
case and the trial of Enrol G.
Cantlin on the charge of
first degree murder as a result OF
the death Of Mrs. J.. d. Newcomb
last June 2S, passed TO the defense.
: First of the witnesses to take the
stand was Dusty Miller. who at
the time OF the shooting was riding
with Cautlin in the front seat of
the alleged murderer's car. He was
seer to be thinner than usual. per-
haps a little gaunt to familiar eyes,
as he sat in the chair, clothed in a
grey tweed suit, white shirt and
dark tie.
Previously E. u. Enterline. attor'
ney for Cantlin. had announced the
defense would prove:
That Cantlin had lost his young
o on the afternoon of June %,
and that after the boy was found

Junior, daughter Beatrice. Fortune
Mershom. Cantlin's stepmother. n
Dusty Miller, Cantlin's brother-in'
law, went for a ride that evening On
the Yellowstone highway east OF
Casper.
That tho lights of an approaching
car blinded the defendant causing
him to run into the ditch alongside
the highway and stall his engine
That on the return trip into town
they noticed the same car. which
was shown later to belong to the
Newcombs, did o dim its lights
though other carr passing did;
That Cantlin stopped in front OF
the Newcombs car telling them tc
stop-and that the driver was under
arrest;
That al that time Cantlin's words
We're: stop that car. you're under
arrest;
That after a second attempt te
stop the Newcobms, Cantlin drew
his pistol and fired several shots into
the ground;
That the defendant never shot al
the car-that the shots appeared tc
be aimed diagonally across the road
and that they were fired rapidly;
That when the Newcomb cal
stopped he went TO IL and placed the
occupants under arrest;
That he did not know that Mrs. ]
ID. Newcomb was shot. but thai
when he found she war. he said:
'sThere must have been a ratchet

That he was not drunk at the
time. and did not use profanity.
Enterline declared that gun *

and the bullet that hit Mrs. j. ID.
Newcomb that this bullet glanced
from the surface of the highway
through the ar. entering Mrs. New
