ELLSWORTH VS.. WALTHAM.


The first civil case to be tried was
that of the Inhabitants Of Ellsworth
VS.. the Inhabitants of Waltham. This
was an action to recover bill for sup
plies and expense incident to the
quarantine of the family of Charles
A. Emerson during an illness of scar
let fever While these are not
pauper supplies under the law, the
case rested upon the pauper resi-
dence of Mr. Emerson. 1t was ad-
mitted that Mr.. Emerson has a
derivative settlement in Waltham.
About 1902 he came to Ellsworth,
and for several years thereafter ro-
tated between Ellsworth, Bar Harbor
and other towns, as work offered He
was unmarried at that time.
Plaintiffs traced Mr.. Emerson's
movements in an attempt to show that
he had not lived in Ellsworth for five
consecutive years during any period,
without receiving pauper supplies,
which would be necessary for him to
acquire pauper residence in ELS
worth. Defendants contended that
he had made Ellsworth his home, and
4
/ merely temporary, as he obtained
work elsewhere.
ID. e. Hurley appeared for plain
tiffs and L. F. Giles and Wood &
Shaw for defendants.
Interest was added to the case by
the fact that at a previous term of
court, suit in the same case was
| brought against Bar Harbor, YER
dict being returned in favor Of ELS
worth. This verdict was later set
aside by the law court as not in ac-
cordance with the evidence. Instead
of retrying the case against Bar Har-
Dor. a new suit was brought against
Waltham In the previous action,
Waltham joined with Ellsworth in
prosecuting the suit against Bar Har-
Dor. and in the present suit, Bar Har-
Dor Joined with Waltham in defend
ing
The jury returned a verdict for
Ellsworth in the sum of $3.50. q.
Motion for new trial was filed.

Winter Harbor VS.. Walter Young was

action for damages growing out OF
a collision Of automobiles in Goulds-
boro in May 1924, and came to this
court on appeal from the Bar Harbor

FROLING VS.. HOWARD.
The case Of Hiding Froling Of New
Jersey against Mrs. Elizabeth Howard
of Ardmore, Pa, a summer resident OF
Hulls Cove, was next taken up. This

The case Of Hiding Froling of New
Jersey against Mrs. Elizabeth Howard
of Ardmore, Pa, a summer resident OF
Hull's Cove, was next taken up. This
was an action for damages for per-

The case occupied all of Saturday,
considerable evidence being taken
out, including that Of medical ex-
perts. The accident occurred on the
Bar Harbor- Ellsworth road. A car
had stopped because brakes were on
fire, and other cars had stopped near
by. Mr.. Froling was one who went
to the assistance of the stalled motor
list, and was standing in the road be-

The United States Senate thought
the matter closed, when it had
spanked Vice-President Dawes for
offending its dignity in his inaugural
speech. He was simply calling at
tention to antiquated methods which
delay important legislation and give
one man or group Of men the power
to thwart majority will and advising
a change in the Senate rules. Vice
President Dawes is everlastingly
right He had just begun to fight,
when he made his inaugural speech;
now he has taken the issue direct to
the people AS a result, the moss
covered senators are beginning to
hear from the folks back home, and
there are indications that decided
change will come DER the spirit OF
their dreams when they return to
Washington in the fall.

Towards auto attempted to pass,
and struck him.
1t appeared in the evidence that
Mrs. Howard was in Europe at the
time, and the car was being driven
by a young man in her employ who
had permission to use it. He was &C
companied at the time by the seven
year-old son of Mrs. Howard, and ser
wants from the Howard cottage, rid
ing for pleasure. Plaintiff failed to
show that the driver was acting in
accordance with orders of the owner
of the car, that he was on business
for the owner, or that it was part
of his regular duties to drive the car,
and defendants motion for a directed
verdict for the defendant was sus-
tanned by the Court, and the verdict
so ordered and returned.
