There is haunted house at the Red
Bridge and the people living there are
much exercised over the appearance of
white robed spooks and the KNOCK King on
the doors and windows The house was
occupied until Monday last by James
Moran and family. The house is little,
old, weather beaten. one story frame
building. situated upon a slight eleva-
ton about all eighth of u milo back from
the main road.
The Moran family moved into the
house about two months ago, and every
thing moved along lively until Sunday.
Dec. 10. when Charles Spock appeared.
Since that time the whole Spook family
have caused the Morans much uneasiness
| and finally they moved out.
Mrs.. Moran says that on Dec. ID, she
was away from home and did not return
until night, when her little girl, Mary,
told her that there had been mysterious
kuockings on the door during the day.
She did NOT thin X anything of this, as
she laid 1t to the ohild's Imagination
Later. che heard a noise as though
something heavy had fallen upon the
kitchen floor; she investigated, but there
was nothing to to seen. This continued
until Sunday last when she entered the
kitchen and saw, so she says, something
that was all white, but she cannot tell
whether it was a man or woman, as
she only took one look, screamed and
fed and, as she says, moved on Monday.
Mrs. Moran also said that others who
haveslived in the house previous to her
say that they have experienced the same
trouble, and that the neighbols- have told
herithat during the last week she lived
there they saw strange lights moving
about the house at one, two and three
O'Clock in the morning, while she posi-
lively declares that none of her family
were up at that hour.-Bangor CONNER

TRAIN ROBBERS MAKE BIG HAUL.
Train Express Car Cut Off Near Independ
ence and Relieved of Contents.

Kansas City. Mo-, December a.
Express manager Frier. who was carried
off in the express car by the robbers who
hold up the ST. Louis and Chicago ex-
press mile from Independence, near
the famous Blue cut, last night, arrived
ct Independence this morning.
1t appears that the bandits ran Sec
tion of the train they had cut off, about
two miles and stopped right in the old
Glendale cut, made famous as the resort
of the James boys robberies.
Here they stopped and rif1ed the cars.
Alter completing their work they cut
tbs engine loose and ran 1t to a point
q mile east Of Glendale, where they dis
abled the engine so TINT it could not be
used, and then deserted it.
At 2.31 the express car was brought
back to Independence and Express Mes
senger Frier told the story Of the robbery
as follows: .
About five minutes after the express car
was detached from the train he heard a
noise at the side door and opened 1t. A
man with q shot gun compelled him to
retreat into the car, while two others
followed MIN with revolyers
They picked him Up and threw him
bodily back into the car, and one OF the
men, who wore mask, as did the
others, clim bed in.
Two held guns at Frier's head while
she third proceeded to break open the
safe.
Frier told them there was nothing in it.
The two men jumped upon Frier, and
to ok the, keys of the safe away from him,
opened the small safe and took from it
q number of packages of money Then
they blew open the big safe and secured
all it ntained.
Erier says the money In the small safe
ran way up into the thousands, and the
big safe had more money and valuables
than it usually carries.
Engineer Meade and his fireman
walked to Glendale. CARRYING there at one
this morning. A fter the robbers had
made Meade and his fireman leave the
engine, the latter followed it on foot and
found their engine dead, in cut one
mile east of the depot at Glendale.
The bandits had let the water out Of
tho boiler, and it was impossible to movt
q wheel ct 2 O'Clock this morning, when
another locomotive was sent out from
Iudependence, and the dead engine towetl
back to the switch at Glendale.
Engineer Meade ineiHts that there were
hat three bandits, and says that they are
thu same men who held up his train on
the night of October %.
A party lef> Independence to search fol
robbers soon after the news was received
there
Eli Lewis, Supt. Of the Upitei S5ato4
Exuress Co., states positively ftf9t the
large safe was not blown Nf;Cn.

FISH AND GAME.
The State Association VIII Ask for stricter
Laws.

Inc state ASSOCIATION Will ASK lof f'Dh1o'oA
Laws.
Tie Legislative committee of the Maine
SPORTING Fish and Game association,
" iuh the inland fish and game commits
sioners, met in Augusta. Wednesday, to
decide on recommendations to the leGis.
lature for tho better protection of game.
They voted That for moose and caribou
the open timelhe reduced to one month,
beginning October 10. Some such action
is said to be necessary to prevent the ex-
| tinction of these animals. There were
many opinions offered on this important
matter. The early closing will lessen
the opportunities for crust hunting.
Then it will tend to prevent the immense
slaughter thar takes place every Decem-
| Der, and the latter part Of Novem Der, by
lumbermen. The vital point at issue IL
the penalty which goes with these
changes. The committee urges that any
one convicted of shooting moose or CARL
bou out Of season be imprisoned.
Another important recommendation
was agreed IpoD-that of licensing
guides; imposing some nominal sum Of,
perhaps the size of &c. which will just
about cover the expense of badge. and
other details. With this goes recon-
mendation that any hunter found en-
ploying unlicensed guides shall pay a
heavy penalty for it.
These licensed guides are to report to
the inland fish and game commissioners
on blank provided for the purpose, the
names and address of the persons whom
they have guided during the season;
where they have taken them; and the
amount Of game taken by them.
SIT is proposed that law be enacted
that will provide for a fee of $25 to be
pnid By every nonresident hunter after
moose and caribou. No fee is recon-
msned for the residents.
The committee also urges the follow
ing:
| No resident shall be allowed to sell any
game to be taken from the state; nor
can any non resident take any from the
state except that which he has killed. or
the guide accompanying him.
| Market men dealing in fish and game
shall be compelled to give bonds and
| procure licenses for conducting their
business.
All dogs shall be prohibited from the
game regions.
Relative to this DIGGING Commissioner
Carleton says he has positive information
shat 90 dogs have been destroyed during
the past year for hunting deer.
Any one transporting moose shall have
the carcass tagged Indicating its sex.
Another recommendation Of great inn
portance which the committee will bring
before the Legislature is to abolish the
bounty on bear. 1t is now 90 bruin.
This Is urged because, in the first place.
many like to hunt bear as well as aDy
Ianimals, and their determination is in
consequen bad thing for the states
interest.
Another matter was decided on. The
possession of jacks, spears, travis, Oh
nets shall be taken prima facie eyi-
dence of illegal use.
The committe voted to recommend the
legislature to appropriate $40. 600 for the
next two years, as the smallest sum by
which the hatchsries can be suitably con-
| Quoted and any kind of warden service
| furnished.
| Also, that the fish and game commits
sioners be provided with means for hir-
ing clerk, and for rent office,
