Madison-Local Hearings
Ernest Mathew and David Goulette
Agree 10 Leave Town. Octave
Nigue Horse Beating Case

Deputy Sheriff George Walker of
Anson brought Raymond Gaylord,
commorant of Madison, but whose ad-
dress is somewhat OF a mystery to
Skowhegan Jail on Tuesday evening.
He WAS charged with the larceny of a
pocket book containing $3.50 from
Walter II. Tobin in Madison. This
larceny occurred at the old Weston
House in Madison, which is used as
rooming place largely by men work
ing on the new construction project
at Madison and AHson. Gaylord it
is alleged left town after securing the
money going to Portland where
large part of the money was spent and
later returning to Madison where he
was arrested. He pleaded guilty be-
fore Trial Justice Withee at Madison
and was held for the grand jury in
the sum of $500 Failing to procure
this he was committed to jail as above
stated.
Ernest Matthew and David Goulette
were arrested on Monday night by
night officer David Withee assisted
by Sheriff Mooers and were confined
to the municipal lookup until 2
o'clock. Tuesday afternoon, when they
were brought before Judge +. w.
Sawyer at the municipal court room.
They pleaded guilty to intoXication
and were given a fine of $500 and
costs and thirty days each in Jail.
Both respondents at this juncture ad-
dressed the court, saying if they were
allowed they would leave the town
and state Immediately. A mittilhus
for their committal was issued and
Officer Withee expressed a willingness
to give them twenty-four hours in
which 10 carry out their part of the
agreement. Failing To do this they
will at once be committed to jail.
Octave Vigue was before Trial JUS
tice T. G. Lord on two warrants sworn
out by Sheriff Mooers. charging cruel
ty to his horse. Evidence of this was
given by Bert G.. Taylor and Joseph
Ayotte. which in effect was that Vigue
had overloaded his horse in deep snow
and while the animal was down had
proceeded to beat him with a shovel,
later on striking it violently in the
head with his fist, it is claimed. Taylor
and Ayotte interfered and were abus-
ed and threatened by Vigue it Is said.
He wis given Jail sentence in each
case with an added fine and costs from
which he appealed and the case goes
to the Supreme Court.

create any diSpleasure in the preSi-
Dental party. Far from being re-
garded as dissenting voice. the Idaho
senator's remarks in favor Of bold
and determined program" with a reso-
lutte leadership. were echoed here.
Mr.. Borah failed to make a bid for
a third party organization and empha-
sized the opportunity TO make the Re
publican party a truly progressive in
strumcnt. There again his ideas coin
eide with those of President Harding
who. more than any man. would be
glad to help in the task of uplifting the
standard of American politics.
What Mr.. BOrah said in his speech
was so general indeed. as to permit of
endorsement and those who see in it a
move for the candidacy OF the Idaho
senator will have to interpret his re-
marks as a criticism of the Harding
administration sins of omission. Ger
tainly nobody here assumes that the
lofty purposes mentioned by Mr..
Borah are beyond the scope of ambi-
ton of President Harding.

A WORD
Regarding Sale of
Cole Y. Bailey Stock

These goods will be sold in our
mems department under the same
conditions and circumstance as we
handle all our business.
We could have made this sale on
strictly cash basis, however, this
will make distinction between our
credit and cash customers.
We maintain a one-price store
whether you pay cash or have mer-
chandise charged, for credit Gus
toner is as good to us as a cash
customer. We consider the charge
account an accommodation to our
customers, but we must say that
these accommodations can only ex-
list where charge accounts are
promptly paid, otherwise we could
not afford to do business, and it is
poor policy, ont alone from a bust
ness mans standpoint, but also
from the consumers. We do not
want to sell you more than you
wish to buy.
We believe almost everyone will
readily see the point we are maxi
ing, for loose credit systems do as
much harm to business men as they
do to the consumers.

GETTING RELEASE
Charles Morton Held as Dope
PeddIer After Habeas Corpus.

Released from jail by order Of Judge
Clinton A. Givan in Superior Court,
Room 4, after a hearing on habeas
corpus proceedings, Charles Morton,
colored, 30, of 1926 N. Capitol Ave. was
re-arrested as he stepped through the
courtroom door. Morton, who said he
was a resident of Buffalo, n. Y, was
held under Vagrancy charges sus-
pected of being implicated in the drug
ring" discovered here.
After his second arrest he was taken
to police hi Idquarters and slated with
violation of the United States drug act.
Bottles of morphine taken by the
officers at the home of Fannie Wither-
spoon, 412 w Vermont ST, last Tues
day were exhibited during the hear
ing. William C. Miller. 40, of 1419 N.
Senate Ave, testified that Morton
gave him the drugs to deliver to the
Witherspoon house.
Judge Givan stated that he would
find for Morton on his plea, as Lieut..
Orville Hudson testified that he was
working for DR.. Oscar Jones, 1881 w

arrest. Morton's attorney was Miss

IN SCHOOL BOARD
Cadd and Emhardt Are Favor
ties for Presidency.

That radical changes in the organ
lzation of the board Of school commits
sicners will be made at it's meeting
Tuesday night appeared certain today.
Officers for the year will be named
and 1t is an assured fact that Charles
l.. Barry will not be reelected presi
dent, observers said.
Either Bert S. Gadd or Adolph En-
hardt will be naned president, it is
said. If Emhardt is named, Gadd al
most certainly will succeed to the
craftsmanship of the important build
ings and grounds committee. He held
this position throughout 1921.
During the past year factional align.
ments on the board have changed com
pletely. At the beginning of the year
President Barry was the outstanding
figure on the board. while Gadd was
an outsider.
Friction soon developed, but DR..
Haslep Emhardt and Gadd began to
act in harmony and have dictated the
policy of the board ever sisnce.
Rumors that Walter J. Tw;name,
business director, will be forced to
resign have been in circulation for
some time. For several months there
has been noticeable tendency on
the part of the majority members
of the board to criticize Twiname' s
actions and TO make changes in his
recommendations.
