GRAY and SHERIFF
WESCOTT RETURN
TO 0RLAND SAT.

Freshly shaven, looking very rest
ed and with a CLEAN of anticipation
in his eye, Emmons p. Gray of Or
land, the man whose disappearance
has set the whole State to searching.
suspecting foul play, boarded the
eastbound train, Saturday afternoon,
on his return to his former home. He
was accompanied by Sheriff Ward w.
Wescott of Hancock county, who ar
rived in the city, Friday night after
having received word that Gray had
been located, at work on, a Winthrop
farm. Gray's disappearance from his
Orland abode was coincident with
that of his wife, Hilda +. Gray and
her brother, Howard w. White. 1t is
thought the latter, couple are making
their way west and search for them
is being made. 81 g.
The county of Hancock has gone
to a great deal of expense in search
ing water ways for, the supposed
missing Gray. 1t may be that they
are doubly grateful in the discovery
Of Gray's whereabouts. both from a
standpoint of expense and of consid-
cradle trouble.
Gray passed the night in the Ken
nebec county Jail, going there at his
own request. He didn't give any ap-
pearance of being much grief strick-
en- because of the disappearance Of
his youthful wife, her brother and
the joint bank roll, accumulated from
wood selling.

AWARDS $10,5O1.2O
IN MCPHEEE CASE
AGAINST LAWRENCE

Verdicts aggregating s10,501.20 for
the plaintiffs were brought in Satur-
day afternoon in the two cases of
MacPhee VS. Lawrence, which was
heard Thursday and Friday at the
Supreme court now sitting. In the
case of Harmon McPhee, through his
father Ernest McPhee, who claimed
damages for personal injuries and
suffering, both passed and yet to
come. caused it was alleged by being
hit by an auto driven by Wallace
Lawrence of South Gardiner, when
the boys foot was caught in the track
at a railroad crossing, verdict Of
$1,6S3.25 was returned while in the
case of Ernest T. sMcPhee VS. Wallace
Lawrence, in. which McPhee asked to
be reimbursed for expenses resulting
from this accident and the necessary
medical attention to his boy, YER
diet Of $2,717.95 was obtained.
The verdict for the elder McPhee
Is slightly larger than that obtained
at the first trial of this case, year
ago at the Supreme court, when a
verdict of $4,000 was returned. On the
other hand the verdict for the boy
vas less, the one at the first trial
being for $S,533.50. In the total
amount awarded in these two cases,
there is however but a difference Of
$685., the verdicts at the second trial
being that much less than at the
first.
The testimony in this case occupied
both Thursday and Friday and the
arguments of the lawyers and the
charge of Chief Justice Leslie Cor
nish took up the. full morning ses-
sion. At the opening of court at
o'clock Saturday the case went to the
jury and a verdict was returned at
1886 that afternoon. The jury was
then excused until 10 o'clock this

Nine years ago the number OF
passenger cars and motor trucks in

seven cars now in use. Since that
