More Poachers in Hancock County.
BANGOR, Nov ia special to the Lewiston
journal says: The poachers of Maine seem de-
termined to preserve their reputation as men who
do not hesitate to take human life, and they are
evidently trying to terrorize their neighbors to
prevent interference with their operations. Two
most reprehensible outrages have been committed
on young men in Surry, Washington county out
RACES from which they think they are lucky to es-
cape with their lives. Walter Young, boy sew
enteen years old, was in the woods, his attention
was attracted by the report of guns just across
the pond, some fifty rods distance, where he saw
three men with guns. 1t was very calm, and he
heard one say, al the same time pointing at him,
"There is good mark to shoot at" and in mo-
ment one of them raised his gun and Young
lodged behind rock Instantly bullet whizzed
over his head then bullet after bullet followed.
Finding himself in tight place, he crawled back
into the woods and run across a clearing, when
another shot just cleared his head. He dropped
Ieo the ground, cutting an ugly cash across his
3 3;tomach. Some fifteen bullets were fired
a While Irwin Withee, aged IA, was in the woods
inning, two unknown men who were hunting
proaching him, and taking away his gun, tied
hands behind him. and were proceeding to tie
o, feet and lash him to a tree, when becoming
# itened by his screams they ran away, leav-
as his hands tied. Coming in these times of slay-
as as -ardens, these outrages have caused no little
he cement.
