FOR KILLING DEER
Boston Men Bound Over for Trial on that
Charge.

MArTAwMKEAG, Oct. ) Saturday q
party Of Boston gentlemen were tried here
before Trial Justice Carle of Winn. on a
charge of killing deer in close time. The
parry had been to Kstahdin, and q game
warden from Bro~nvilie gave testimony
that before the fl st day Of October he
found part of deer near their camp.
The Boston gentlemen say this is trne, but
that the der was there when their tent was
pitched, and wss kill i by parties to them
unknown The justice bound them over
in the sum Of 800 to appear before
the term of the criminal court to be
held in Bangor il January. Some
of iht Sc gentlemen have visited this
region fcr number Of yesrs, and il is
believed that they tell the truth in regard
to this matter 1t is thought there is no
case sgsln.t them. The gentlemen will
fg1t the case. The gam4 wardens are
lryinQ to do their duty, but it is not i'm
probable that shey sem times make mis-
takes There have been very few viola
