NoRrHwooD. Dec. 12.-Throughout AseAi.
mer county people are wondering what Win
happen in the great stretch OF woods Begin,
ming at tho West Canada Creek. near Fred
Hubbard's inn. known ns tho Last House. and
extending far beyond the great hunting
grounds on Moose River. Much unessiuess
has been caused by startling rumors within
| the past few months. which indicate bed;
outlook for tho future Of this paradise o.
sportsmen. The action Of the Adirondack
League Club. which owns the vast tract In
question. more than 100000 acres in SHUT
ting out all non-members, has aroused,
bitterness of feeling in some OF
the guides and hunters hereabouts. Many
OF them have made their living for
years by guiding parties through these
woods. and they have come to look upon them
as public property. The constables OF the
club have already been in conflict with the
woodsmen and hunters. A party from North
wood was warned away from Moose River not
long ago. but no attention was paid to the
warning. Later another party was warned.
Some men from Binghamton were in tho latter
party. and they abashed the constables very
neatly. 1t was stormine hard when the con.
stables reached the log cabin where the party
was encamped.
"say. you fellows will have to get out q
here" the head constable said. This IL Adj

members are allowed on it, a

don't be bashful. but come right in."
Another Of the party stepped forward and
produced big flask. which he pressed upon
the constablcs. and insisted on their pars
taking Of its contents. That treatment was SOL
