Se SS LIQUOR VIOLATOR FAILS TO APPEAR, BOND WILL BE FORFEITED, REPORT| Because of the failure of Frank ‘Ward, alleged manufacturer and ven- der of illicit “‘hogtch” to appear for preliminary heafing before Judge Tubbs yesterday, his bondsmen who placed $500 worth of confidence in his word, will be forced to pay that amount into the coffers of the county. Authorities are confident that Ward is still in the city and that he will be apprehended within the next few days, and held in jail pending his preliminary hearing. That he jumped his bond seems to establish beyond question that he is quilty. ‘Ward was arrested some time ago, when Deputies Devlin and Allen Tom Sullivan, arrested here two months ago on vagrancy charges, and again held last evening upon the same charge, was dismissed last night by Judge John A. Murray, after every member of the I. W.

(fho Commercial Cable management in New York stated last night that the power house and electric batteries at Waterville had been disabled. The extent of the damage was not known it was sald, but the cables themselves apparently had not been interfered with.)
