A Maine paper recently stated that Hon. S.

political fences" 1t will strike most people

Prof. Bateman said in his letter last week
that Sheriff Cleveland pocketed $50 fee each
for hanging two men. That is way below the
real figures. His bill for each hanging, which
was promptly paid by the county authorities,

precedented price, but Cleveland is said to have
been very able hangman.

than does the little bay trotting horse George o.,

had great success, winning almost every race for
which he started, and getting a record of 2.3ll Il
this record he reduced to 2.30l at Bangor, and if
the weather is good and the track in shape, he is
