This was the only development
made public on Thursday in a case
that is attracting wide spread inter-
est. Rumors were rampant on Thurs
day with regard to the case and sew
ereal of them were declared to have
come from persons who were in a
position to know the intimate details
with regard to it. 1t was declared by
several that when the testimony pre-
sented in the hearing on the petition
for the appointment of guardian for
Eugene LaBar. which is scheduled
for Monday, March %, at the Ken
nebec county probate court, several
citizens of this c'--- ---''' be implicated
to a greater or less extent. 1t was
also freely predicted that further
startling developments could be
looked for within a few days.

Wednesday of the J. A. Carnage Co.,
stock brokers, through the serving of
SUI poena upon J. A. Carnage, head
OF the concern. requiring him to
bring all papers, books and docu-
ments with rn~"~d to his business re-
| lations with Eugene LaBar, to tie
hearing on the petition for guardian
ship and to the equity case which is
to be heard before the October term
of the supreme judicial court, has
served to increase the interest and
to bring to l'rht other matters whir1
may or may not be connected with
| the case.
Mr.. LaBar has maintained an office
en- the second floor of the Purinton
block, across the hall from the Of
fee Of the J. A. Carnage Co., with
| which brokerage concern he has been
| more or less associated. On Monday,
last, according to report which was
corroborated by Mr.. Carnage, he was
notified that unless certain condi-
| tons were met by the J. A Carnage
Co.. Purinton Brothers, owners Of
the block. felt it would be necessary
| to ask that company to vacate the
offices which it now occupies. Mr.
Carnage stated last evening that he
/ did not feel that the company could
meet the requirements of the owners
OF the block and that they had there
fore decided to move.

STRUCK BY SEDAN
AUGUSTA YOUNG MAN
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL

Struck down by a heavy Buicl,
sedan automobile as he was walking
down Western Avenue. early Thurs
day evening, G. Harris McGouldrick
was taken to the offices of DIR. A. H.
Sturtevant for examination and
later to the Augusta General Hos
pital, where last night he was re-
ported to be resting comfortably, but
with the exact extent of his injuries
in question until an X-ray examin-
alton could be made this morning.
Mr.. McGouldrick was walking east
on Western Avenue during the
height of the storm and had taken
to the-car tracks because of the Slip
perry and wet condition of the side
walks. The Buick sedan owned by
Eugene LaBar and operated by Max
Murphy was also proceeding in the
same direction. When Mr.. Murphy
observed the pedestrian ahead of
him on the roadway he sounded his
horn he claimed and swerved to the
extreme right of the street. Mr.. Nc
Gouldrick at the same time stepped
to that side of the electric car tracks
and was struck by the left forward
mud guard of the LaBar automobile.
He was knocked to the pavement
and as soon as Mr.. Murphy could
bring his machine to a stop, he with
Mr.. LaBar and Mr.. J. A. Carnage,
who was also a passenger in the car,
assisted the young man to his feet
and perceiving that he was painfully
hurt. at once took him to DR.. Sturte-
wants office. where thorough ex-
animation was made. DR.. Sturtevant
found no broken bones or bad
abrasions, but advised that Mr.. Nc
Gouldrick be taken to the hospital
for further treatment and examina-
ton in the morning.
The accident was investigated by
Officer Joseph f. Young, Jr., of the
State Highway Police, but the Of
ficer found no reason for charges
of reckless or careless driving, the
accident in his opinion being I'M
avoidable and unfortunate.

Knights of Pythias Banquet Will
Be Held Friday, April 9th.

To what extent was the member
ship present at the regular session of
Garrett Lodge No. 113, Knights of Py-
thias? A goodly number was in at
but actual tabulation disclos-
ed the fact that the number of vacant
chairs predominated over those occu-
pied. Those who were there, however,
will corroborate the statement that
the degree team is a credit to Garrett
lodge. A splendid exhibition of team
cooperation was given. With some
more experience and rehearsal this
team will be fit competitor for state
honors should the occasion ever devel-
op. Let US support and encourage this
team.
To sum up the night, it was an ev-
ening well spent and as a result three
new names appeaI on our roster, the
honors of Knighthood having been
conferred upon them.
We take pleasure in announcing
the date for the banquet, of which
much has been written. You must use
your own discretion as to whether you
will begin fasting now or later on in
order to reserve plenty of room for
the feast, for such it will be. Per-
haps it would be wise to postpone the
curtailment of your rations for awhile
at least, as April 9th is yet long way
off and history proves that those who
sought to attract attention and gain
publicity by starving themselves, now
slumber peacefully beneath the sod
while slabs of marble stand sentinel
in mute testimony to the effectiveness
of such course. We urge you, there
fore, to continue to appease the crav-
ings of your appetite until then, but
by all means save some room for that
occasion.
Some questions have been asked as
to who are responsible for the success
of this banquet. Next week you will
find some answers to these questions.

you are helping with the work, don't
feel sighted.

BOND TELECRAPHER DIES
AT HIS POST OF DUTY
Henry D. Hayes, 81, B. & O.Op-
orator Succumbed To Heart
Attack Saturday

Henry D. Hayes, "a years old, of
Piedmont, w. Va, Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad telegraph operator and
signalman at Bond, five miles from
Piedmont, was found dead at ITO
o'clock Saturday morning on the floor
of the signal tower. The body was
found by Harry L. Comp, who arrived
at the tower to relieve Hayes. Death
was attributed to heart attack.
The telephone receiver was still
clasped over Hayes head when Comp
discovered the operators body lying
on the floor, near his overturned
chair. Hayes was talking to a car
inspector at Big Curve over the tele-
phone at five minutes to seven and at
that time gave no intimation that he
was i'll.
His trick at the Bond tower was
from midnight until 7 o'clock in the
morning. When he left the home of
Mrs. Anna Boyles, Piedmont, where
he boarded, on Friday evening, he
was apparently in good health.
Hayes was placed on the light en-
CINE which brought Comp to the
tower and was taken to the Hoffman
Hospital at Keyser, where he was
pronounced dead.
A native of Richmond, Va, where
his daughter, Mrs. Wallace Owens,
now lives, Mr.. Hayes entered the en-
ploy of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road in 1905, resigning in 1916 to ac-
cept position as train director for
the Washington Terminal Company
at Washington, D. C. He returned to
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in
1922, having been assigned to the
tower at Bond. During his early as
ISOLATION with the Baltimore and
Ohio, Mr.. Hayes worked as telegraph
or in signal tower in the vicinity of
Grafton. Besides his daughter, Mrs
Owens, of Richmond, Mr.. Hayes is
survived by a son, Robert, of Panama
His wife died several years ago.
The normal position of semaphores
on signal towers of the Baltimore and
Ohio are red and the death of ar
operator would not disrupt the sig.
nal system or necessarily result il
accident, it was said by officials.
