8 FACTS ABOUT DEBUT
NEWHALL'S Fl CHIT.

For the last four or five years the peo-
pie who live about Sebago Lake station
have regarded with more or less appre-
hension the approach of holidays, such as
Fourth of July and, Labor Day, which
bring large crowds to the picnic grounds
at that point These crowds. have general
ly included rough element that with
the assistance of beer and hard liquor
have made themselves more than obJec-
tionablessto.the residents Just before the
last Fourth of July the residents asked
the sheriff's office for special protectlon.
The consequence was that carload OF
beer was seized before any Of it had been
drank and the day Fpassed very quietly
and comfortably.
Last week the sheriff s Office was re-
quested to send special protection as be-
fore.
Sheriff Plummer sent Deputy Sheriffs
PA. Collier ofENewss Gloucester, Robert
E. Newhall of South Windham, Albion
Kimball, who is one of the Jail deputies,
and E. W. Dolloff of Standish
A carload of beer came up in the morn
ing, consisting of eight or ten barrels of
bottled beer and three or foura half barrels
of beer. This was confscated at the
start. Everything progressed very smooth
ly during the forenoon. The great ma
jority of the 3OoOzpeople were perfectly or
derby and the officers had nothing to do
but capture several BOTTLES of hard stuff
that was being sold on the outskirts by
pocket peddlers. At about one o'clock
Deputy Sheriff Newhall perceived that a
gang of Gorham's Corner toughs who
were drunk were down by the swings
interfering with two women there, max
ing coarse and indecent remarks and do
ing even worse. He Immediately ordered
them to desist and to move away. At that
they all jumped for him and fierce
fight ensued Officer Newhall, las de-
scribed sby Officer Kimball, who saw
him after the fight, was a. pitable.look-
ing object He is stout built young
man about 20 years Of age, with very
pleasant and agreeable features. His
right eye was entirely closed and there
hung over it bunch as big as hem
egg and as white. His left cheek was
pulled up and his whole face was
scratched and scared and covered with
blood as were his clothes. He was taken
down to the lake and washed and sent
to his home.
The Portland police were notified last
evening to be on the lookout for the rest
of the gang here in Portland and to ar
rest them The sheriffs say that this Cor
hams Corner crowd were the only ones
who were at all obnoxious and sthat
everybody else was entirely quiet and re-
spectacle.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Thomas W. Keene.

Mr.. Thomas Keene last evening
presented "Othello, - to large and at
times very enthusiastic audience. Mr..
Keene has good stage presence, an ex-
cellent command Of facial expression and
his gestures are generally appropriate and
effective. The mannerisms that pertained
to him years ago still abide with him,
and it is these mannerisms that have
caused so much criticism. But all actors
of repute are open to the same comment
Surely Macveady, Forrest, Booth, Bar
rett, and in these later times, noticeably,
Irving, have all been called to book for
what the critics have been pleased to call
mannerisms, but the artists themselves
styled originalities.
Mr.. Keene depicted the gradual growth
of Othello's jealousy to the intense salts
faction of his audience, especially in the
great scene in the third act, where Iago
gradually and subtily poisons the mind
of the Moor until in a frenzy of passion
he dashes Iago to the earth, and, with
the cry of a wounded BEAST damns
Desdemona. He was very good in the
scene in the second act where he breaks
in upon the midnight brawl of his officers
and declares to Cassie, never more be
officer of mine.' Of course it was re-
served for the scene in which he kills
Desdemona for the actor to display the
animal nature of the barbara chieftain
in it's most hideous form to be followed
SO soon by the terrible contrition ex-
perienced when Emilia tells him "She
loved you cruel Moor 1t was in these
telling scenes that the applause of the
audience was loud and long continued.
Mr.. Heming deserves good word for
an excellent presentation of the crafty
Iago, and Miss Ripont showed an ap-
probation Of the character of Desdemona.
The play was we'll staged and costumed
and the scene in the second act represent
ing the arrival of Othello with the port
of Venice and the ships at anchor in the
background was very pretty.
Grimmer's orchestra furnished appropri-
ate music.

EPHRAlM AND THE BEAR.
Row 10 Killed Yearling In Fair
Fight Without Weapons.

A~o 4hhiSN 1tdTilnR In FAtr
Fight Without Weapons.
Old Ephraim Hatfield, father of Anse
and Elias Hatfield, of Mccoy Hatfield
feud notoriety, was u born fighter. He
was also mighty hunter, and had ono
ambition. 1t was to kill u yearling bear
III Il fair fight without any weapons
other than those nature provided him
with. Every day that he felt especially
strong he would go out with his dogs
and his boys, and freeing bear, would
get him down and fight him. When
bruin would begin to get tho best of the
encounter, he would call his boys to let
loose tho dogs. Year after year passed
and Ephraim had not yet whipped Il
bear.
One day fine yearling bear was
freed, and as Cutfy was climbing to a
place of safety old man Hatfield cut off
Il piece of the animals tail with Il quick
blow of his knife, and the bear came
down. Ephraim threw his gun and
knives to the boys and cried out:
Hos Il likely varmint Stan aside,
boys, an watch yo' dad. I'm comm,
bari" And no clutched the bear bv tho
throat.
Tho animal got its paws around
Ephraim, and they fought, rolling in
every direction, until it was almost i'm
possible TO distinguish man from beast
i'll the cloud. Tho boys held tho dogs
and encouraged tho old man by shout
ing to him:
Go it, papl You've got EN-! Give
it to i'm, dad ~
Down tho hill the two rolled until
they could roll no farther
Let loose tho dogs - shouted the old
man. Let 'em loose The critters got
me!''
But tho boys thought the old man
would never have better opportunity
to realize his ambition and whip Il year
ling bear and kept the dogs away.
Finally Ephraim, seeing that he was not
to have assistance, began to use his feet
and hands with an energy born of de-
spar, and i'll half an hour he succeeded
i'll choking the animal to death but not
until his clothes We're torn to shreds and
his face and body were covered with
gaping wounds, from which the blood
flowed so freely that it left crimson
trail wherever tho man went Dragging
the carcass out of the pit Ephram start
ed after tho boys, and it would have
Jared roughly with them, but they fled.
The old man reached his homo and was
almost dead from loss of blood, but his
ambition had been rcaliZed-he had
whipped yearling bear III Il fair fight.
Tho boys hid out in the woods fer soy
erai days, and would not return until
their father, whose joy at his success
had got tho better of his pain and an,
ger, sent them word that he would not
whip them if they returned Hatfield
never wearied telling how he whipped
ayearling bear, and his sons arc equally
proud Of their fathers achievement
