REVERSE DRY CASES
Two Convictions Remanded Because
Indictments Incomplete.

Austin, March 26.-Two liquor con-
victions were reversed today By the
court Of criminal appeals because the
indictments did not give the names Of
the purchasers of the liquor.
In the cases Of Jerry Lewis of Jas
per county, sentenced to one year, and
Guy Hoover of Orange, sentenced TO
eighteen months, the court laid down
the rule that in prosecutions for un-
lawful sale of liquor the purchaser
must be named.
The statute specifically demands
this, the court said.
In another liquor case, that OF z.
r. Cameron of Hill county, the. court
held the purchasers are not accom-
plices.

Trip to Pacific Coast Hindered by
Jury Service

Danville C. Durrell of Dead River
was in Skowhegan yesterday and had
left his home with the intention OF
starting for the Pacific Coast by the
way of the Isthmus, where he planned
to remain until early summer. Upon
reaching Skowhegan he found that he
that reason found it necessary to
give up his trip for the present.
Whether he will go at the conclusion
OF the winter term of court he has
not yet decided Mr.. Durrell has
previously served on the jury several
times. He was planning to visit his
brother H. w. Durrell in Aldwood
Manor, Wash, but for the present has
substituted the Independent-Repor
for himself as he subscribed for the
same for his brothers family, during
his visit in Skowhegan.
d Mr. Durrell has been on the Dead
River for forty-flye years, has lum-
bered to some extent and is the owner
of a six hundred acre farm there.
This winter he is cutting birch and
pulpwood on his own place. He was
a native of Wisconsin and his coming
to Maine was somewhat unusual. His
father was a native Of Emblem and
went west to the state already men
toned where Danyille Durrell was
born. The family then moved to
Minnesota where the other son, above
referred to was born. The elder Mr..
Durrell was one of the first volun-
teers in the Rebellion and his wife
died in 81. This was in the midst of
the Sioux Massacre and father took
leave of absence long enough to bring
his children back to Embden to be
cared for by his people. Eventually
the younger son went west but DAN
Vile always remained in Maine. His
father lived with him for time in
later years, but is now deceased. II.
W. Durrill was back east for some
time and married a Watervlle lady.

Roads Somewhat Improved

While the condition of the high
ways remains about the same as last
week, there is somewhat of an i'm
provement as might be expected from
the constant travelling over them.
The slight storm was not of duration
enough to hinder traffic in the least
and automobiles can be used with
comfort on main highways. A resi-
dent of Cornville who lives on the
old road to Athens advises team
rather than an automobile in going
over that road, but that Is no longer
the main road to Athens. Highways
in the North Arson section are good
for automobiling and an automobile
may be used between that town and
Scion and probably further north. The
Watervlle road Is in good condition.

Mrs. Mary Savage ~ Yesterday

Mrs. Mary Savage, Skowhegans
oldest woman, quietly observed her
97th birthday yesterday at the home
of her son, e. L. Savage She has
lately had cold, but is recovering
and is able to be about the house,
assisting some with the homework
There was no formal celebration of
the event. Mrs. Savage was the
first woman to east an electoral vote
in Skowhegan and she was the first
girl baby born in Lagrange. OF her
large family of thirteen children, nine
are living, the eldest daughter, Mrs.
Melissa Romans of Ashland, N. H.,
being seventy-eight years old. Mrs.
Savage is great great grandmother,
Mrs. Romans being a great grand
mother. The mentality of this aged
lady is remarkable as we'll as her
physical condition. The Reporter
