THE PASSING OF THE PIONEER
(TO A. P. WI
Louise T.Graves

She has gone on her last great
journey,
On journey to unknown lands.
Over the trail of the Great Divide,
To the city not made with hands.
She has gone, but her spirit still
fingers.
For many have gathered to hear
AT the big white house on the corner,
Her tales of the pioneer.
She had always a word for the
stranger,
Who was sorely in need of friend.
And friendship made in early days
Were friendships still at the end.
She stood for what She knew was
right.
Her influence was strong.
And those who came to her for help
Soon saw the right from wrong.
Once more the pioneer has gone.
Gone to meet the rest
Of that noble band of pioneers,
Who have journeyed to the West.
AS the sun is sinking on FOUNDER
peak,
And the pines are whispering low,
seem to see a picture
Of camp fires evening glow.
And gathered there together,
As in the days of yore,
| see our dear old pioneers,
Our friends who are no more.
Sitting there by the camp fire,
Watching the embers burn low.
Hearing the sound of the ak and
pillow,
As in days of the long ago.
They have blazed the trail, these
pioneers.
And with the torch held high,
Have ever been our guiding star,
In the years that have gone by.
And SO always at twilight,
As the shadows round me fall.
think of the great "All Father, ;"
Who watches Ger US all.
And how his infinite goodness,
Giving us through all the years,
A guiding star, and a path made
clear,
By our noble pioneers.

SNOW CAUSES SOME
DELAY IN TRAFFIC

WaterviIIe awoke yesterday morn
ing to find that the amount Of snow
had increased during the night and
a heavy rain was falling on top of
the results of the snow storm. The
air was Just cold enough to make
the rain very unpleasant. It froze
to everything that it hit. making
sidewalks so icy that many pedes-
TRANS tried the middle of the street
A firm crust formed over the snow
which settled several inches during
the day. Travel on the highways
was little impeded as the rain was
too cold to turn the snow to slush.
The weather caused some trouble
to the rail traffic. The 1880 car
from Lewiston did not arrive until
about 11.30 but the later cars were
on time. Snowplows were busy on
railroad and trolley hines during the
day.
Along the street store ,proprietors
and their helpers made frantic at
tempts to clear the sidewalk space
in front of their places of business
but In most Instances the walking
was more slippery after they had
finished than before as firm coat
ing Of Ice quickly formed over the
cement and brick.
The temperature was very coma
Portable on the whole even though
the atmosphere was damp. Weather
prophets promise a clear cold spell
on the way which will mean that the
sand man will have to get busy on
the sidewalks before someone is SER
iously injured.

was the complainant and swore out
the warrant
The first witness of the State was
George d. GIidden. who testified he
saw the horse down. There was a
chain around the horses neck and
into the barn, several feet away. He
went into the barn and there saw
Mr.. Simpson use a stick about two
and a half feet long and an inch
through to beat the horse but the
animal would not get up on its feet.

not believe the animal was able to
get up and Harry said he guessed
he would have to shoot the horse.
The chain was hooked around the
horses neck When asked IL he
considered the blows very heavy. Mr..
Glidden replied that he would If
they were inflicted upon himself.
In the cross-examinatiou Glidden

the chain to prevent choking the
horse. He had handled horses a
great deal.
Walter H. Theinert OF winslow

house nearby when Mr.. Simpson
drove along and he saw the horse.
According to Theinert the horse
could barely navigate and finally fell
down in the yard. Simpson dashed
the horse in good shape, then he
got mad and struck the horse be-
tween the eyes with the butt of the
whip. He saw them come cut with
another horse and drag the sick
animal into the barn and they did
not stop once. He thought the
horse mist be strangling. for its
head was stretched out and it was
kicking violently. Theinert was
used to handling horses. bad been
at it for II years and he never saw
one used that way before.
Nellie Chapman was the last wit
ness for the State. She said she

or abuse it, She saw Simpson and
