NOW, HERE Is A BEAR STORY.
The Trapped Brute Assisted by Another
Bear In CARRYING OF the Trap.

The Trapped Brute Assisted by Another
Bear In Carrying OF the Trap.
Not long ago a COW died in the vicin-
ity of the Quinn ranch, near the head
of Goose creek, south of Wagon Wheel
gap. 1t soon became apparent to VIII
liam Quinn, owner of the ranch, that
the carcass of the cow was being visited
by bear of very large dimensions, and,
IN company with Dell McClelland, Mr..
Quinn decided to ''sit up" with the
bear and endeavor to get a shot at it
by night. This was done, but owing to
darkness the bear was not killed by
shots fired
AS the next resort, a large bear trap,
weighing about seventy-f1ve pounds,
was procured and set near the dead
'critter,' and the trappers went to bed
laughing at the trick they had played
on the bear. The trap was chained to
pole eighteen feet long and eight
inches through at the large end.
In the morning an examination of
the premises about the dead cow
showed plainly that the bear and a
cub had been there during the night.
There was a large track, eighteen
inches long and six or seven inches
wide, and small track, evidently
made by cub The trap, however,
was gone, and with it the eighteen foot
pole, and the disturbed condition of
the ground showed conclusively that
the bear had been caught in the trap.
The trail, however, away from the
scene, was only the trail of two bears
there was not mark of dragging either
trap or pole.
Mr.. Quinn took up the trail, which
he followed eight miles without COM
ing upon the bears, trap or pole. At
the camp of Mr.. Tom Carey, seven
miles away, that gentleman told how
in the night he had been awakened by
sound as of something walking, with
an occasional pause and heavy fall on
the ground, as though something had
been dropped. Having no gun Mr..
Carey sat up in his tent the balance of
the night and endeavored to keep
warm by poking wood into sheet iron
stove.
The trail was followed a mile or SO
further and then lost. In one place
the bears had passed through heavy
quaking aspen thicket and had literally
moved swath through the saplings,
showing that the trap and pole were
being taking along.
The natural inference is that the bear
was caught in the trap and had picked
up the same with the pole and started
for the hills. The bear is an old Of
fender in these parts, and Mr.. Quinn
hopes to find it yet.
Later-A man just in from the head
of the San Juan reports that he passed
the bears on the Pagosa road, beyond
Summitville, jogging contentedly along,
each carrying one end of the pole, while
the old bear was caught ilI the trap by
the right foot front. Juan Pros

quiet life had been brought under the
strong light of public criticism to

The record has been made, and we are

patriotic people. OF my own relation
to the great transactions in legislation
and in administration which must be
the basis of this judgment, it does not
become me to speak.
gratefully accept, sir, the assurance
given by the Republican state conven-
tions, and by the National convention
through you, that no charge of made
quacy or delinquency to principle has
been lodged against the administration.
The faithful and highly successful work
done by the able heads of the executive

THEY TARRED AND FEATHEREp HIM.
A Belfast Sensation About Which Several
Stories Are Told.

BELFAST, Me-, June 20.-Ernest Rich
ards, mulatto, aged 10, was tarred and
feathered Saturday night. Richards has
been paying attentions for some time
past to "Liz'' Kelly, a womon about 80
years old who is well known to the police
He was at the woman's house Saturday
night, when twelve young men broke in,
took Richards and stripped him and then
covered his body with lukewarm tar
After this, feather bed was ripped open
and Richards was rolled in the feathers
until covered with them and then pelted
with eggs and vegetables. On escaping
he rushed to the bay. After getting off
some of the tar he returned for his
clothes and was given another coat. That
is one version of the affair. Another is
that the Kelly woman's mother, being ill
in the house and needing care which the
daughter was not giving, and which the
neighbors could not give on account of
the company there, a raid was made on
the place by a few men Saturday after
noon and the young man was found there.
He was given small coating of tar and
ordered to depart. Later he returned
and was again seized by crowd of men
who gave him another coating of tar and
feathers.

OWN MUCH LAND.
Prominent Men Who Believe in Home In

Special to the PREss.1


BANGOR, June 2o.-Among the large
holders of wild lands in Maine are Sena-
tor and Clarence Hale William Engel,
Esq, and Ex-Governor Davis. These
have various holdings with others,
Hon. Frank Jones, Gea. Manager Payson
Tucker, and others of like prominence
being partners in soma belongings.
Last week Messrs. 4 ale, Davis and En-
gel made another big, addition to their
thousands of acres of timber lands. They
bought tract about three miles square,
being the southerly half of Edinburg, on
the Penobscot. They paid over sixty
thousand dollars for ia but it is said the
hemlock and bark upon it is worth more
than that. Senator Hale was in Bangor
Saturday, and left his check for over
twenty thousand dollars for his third.
The buyers now have big tract of ell
egant hemlock with some spruce, only %
miles from Bangor, and on the Penob-
scot River. Logs cut here can be de1iv-
cred at Engels's Orono mill in two days
drive.
The population of Edinburg is only
about 100 persons; the town is practical
ly wild land, and the wonder of it all is
that lumber operators did not discover
it before. 'It is as good as fifty thous-
and profit" said an old time lumberman.

polls. On the eve of a Republican State
Convention we are concerned with con-
siderations of more local character.
The expressed sentiment of the people
points with unerring certainty to the
nomination of Hon. Henry B. Cleaves,
our esteemed friend and distinguished
fellow townsman, for the next Governor
of Maine. We desire, in advance, to
commend and to ratify the wisdom of
the peoples choice. We desire to pay to
him personally our devoirs and respects
and to congratulate him on the honor
thati coming to him with marvellous
unanimity unparalleled in the history of
this state.
Believing that nothing can bring to
him sWeeter satisfaction than expressions
of confidence and esteem coming from
the people among whom he has lived
and toiled upwards, and who have
watched his growing popularity with un-
envying pride, let us say to him here
and now that we rejoice in his success;
that the city of Pitt Fessenden and of
Tom Reed exults that through his in
strumentality it is to be for once the
home of governor of the state"
At The close of Mr.. Morrill's speech
there were more cheers, and as Mr.
Cleaves stepped forward there was a roar
of applause. Mr.. Cleaves said:

President Harrison Gives the Canadians a
Black Eye.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-In a state pa
per sent to the Senate today in answer to
resolution of Feb. "a last, calling for
information relative to the reciprocity
negotiations with Canada, the President
sounds the death knell Of that project by
deliberately, in effect recommending
that Congress proceed to retaliate upon
the Dominion for it's persistent denial of
the rights of American citizens, guaran-
teed by the treaty of Washington, and in
connection with navigation of Canadian
canals.

blazed from the windows.
AT 8 o'clock the square was dense
mass of humanity, and the scene from
the club room, as one gazed from the
windows on the sea of human faces,
from the centre of which rose the statue
of Liberty in quiet dignity, her noble
countenance, irradiated by the glare of
the fireworks, was worthy of painter.
A few minutes after s, the Lincoln
Club, fully 300 strong, all wearing badges
marked, "For Governor, Henry B.
Cleaves," marched from the club rooms
and took position in front of the build
ing. The artillery doomed, there was
renewed burst of fireworks and red fire,
and the large flag slowly unfurled
amidst the loud cheers of the spectators
and the ''Star Spangled Banner" played
by Chandler's full band. Then the route
was taken up by the club. headed by the
band, past the Young Mems Republican
Club, whose windows were aglow with
red fire, and where loud cheers were
heartily given and responded to, then
past the Portland Club, which was bril-
liantly illuminated, and where more
cheers were given. Then a counter
march was made, and as the Cumber-
land Club was reached there were more
fireworks. By this time, the procession.
which was brilliant with Roman candles
and all kinds of fireworks, had become
largely augmented, while the sidewalks,
the length of Congress street, from Con-
gress square to Temple street, were
jam of people. At the Advertiser Office
the broad windows were bloze of light,
and there were more fireworks and cheers
The PRESS Office was brilliantly lighted,
and was greeted with cheers that tested
the lung power of the young men thor
oughly. Then the procession passed up
Middle street to the Falmouth Hotel,
where it halted.
The Falmouth was the headquarters
of the delegates to the State Convention,
and Mr.. Martin had elegantly draped the
front with the national colors. A stand
had been erected in front for the speak
ers of the evening. The windows were
filed with faces, and the whole space in
front, and way up Temple street, was
jammed with people. The committee
from the club composed of President
Morrill,, Messrs. Benz. Gribben, VIM.
Dugan and W. G. soule, then escorted
Hon. HI. B. Cleaves to the stand from the
hotel admidst salvo of fireworks, ''Hail
to the Chief" from the band. and the
loud cheers from 1900 throats. When
the cheers had died away, President
Morrill, spoke, his remarks being fire.
quently interrupted with cheers.
After referring briefly to national is
sues and the enthusiasm shown on this
occasion, the ope ming of the campaign in
Maine, Mr. Morrill, said:

speaking upon political topics he desired
to extend to the Lincoln club his con-
gratulations upon their steadfastness
and devotion to the great principles that
were upheld by the honored statesman
whose name the club bears. 1t was un-
der his administration that the great
foundation principles of protection to
American industries were deeply and
broadly laid; that if we are true to the
great principles that have wrought out
the splendid progress that has been wit
messed IN this country during the last
quarter OF century, no one need have
any fears for the future growth and ad
vancement of the American republic,
He said that the State of Maine believed
in good government; that the people
were interested in home industries; that
they. were not looking solely to purchas-
ing lew things cheap which came into
competition with our own labor and
were made in foreign countries. The
people of Maine believe in protecting
the products of our own citizens and
our own industrial enterprises. They
believe in financial policy that will
maintain the standard of money which
circulates among the people. He said
that Maine was interested in maintaining
a sound currency, liberal policy toward
the manufacturing, commercial and agri-
