The White Caps have opened a cor
respoHdence bureau in Aurora, Illinois,
and the newspapers and coal dealers have
thus far a monopoly of the communics-
tions. Alderman Jungles. a coal dealer
received letter which ordered him to stop
giving short weight In coal under penalty
of receiving visit from the White Caps
of local branch No. 81. The letter was
adorned with representations of skulls and
crossbones, white caps, and snakes. Other

fishing articles derogatory to the cause of

Maine historians say that over 100 years
ago wolves came down from the north and
devoured most all the deer in the colony.
Some of the deer swan to the islands along
the coast and remnant was saved. The
wolves. having no deer to eat, turned to the
domestic animals of the country, and gave
the settlers great trouble. The Indians, 100,
robbed of their meat supply by the wolves,
were for q long time in starving condition,
and often those in the interior went miles to
the seashore for food. The wolves at length
went northward, and little by little the deer
increased until 1S40. when there was anoth.
er wolf raid, and for two years they played
havoc with deer and cattle. Then they dis.
appeared and have not since been seen much
in the State. Deer are again increasing,
both because of the absence of wolves aud
because of the stringent game laws OF Maine.

walked in among them, driving them to
