Arthur Ware Of Auburn, a shoe
maker, was arraigned before Judge
Robert A. Cony of the Augusta Mu-
nicipal Court Thursday morning on
two charges, reckless driving and go
ing away after injury without making
report He pleaded not guilty to both
charges and was not represented by
legal counsel. John Fl. Fox of Au-
gusta, driving Studebaker automo-
bile, claimed that Ware, driving a
Ford, pushed him off the road to Win
throp, May ~, causing damage to the
extent of $11.45 and not coming back
to the scene of the accident.
Ware was brought to Augusta by
highway officer, George Fowler. Ware
testified that he knew nothing of the
accident until informed by officer
Fowler. He said he was driving a
1917 Ford and he didn't know he had
hit anybody. Judge Cony said he
hadn't any doubt but what Ware was
telling the truth but that the noise in
cident to the operating Of 1917 Ford
might cover a good deal. Like every
thing in life, we are supposed to know
what we are doing" the Judge said.
He ordered Mr.. Ware to pay the sum
of $40 to the officer for expense of
COuNCydHCS. OpOIl tIc oticl Shdi 81
he made no sentence, saying the case
would be held over, from day to day.
Judge Cony suggested Mr.. Ware get
in touch with Mr.. Fox and settle the
matter.

Joseph Jandreau of Augusta was
charged with improper registration
plates, when he was arraigned before
Judge Cony Thursday morning. jan
dreau pleaded not guilty. He was or
dered to pay So and the case was
placed on file, there being no convic-
ton against him. He said he had a
chance to go to Portland about 10
o'clock Saturday night and get sec
ond hand car. He took plates from
another car which was stored in his
barn and used them. He was taken
into custody by highway officer, Bert
