Relics of q Moose FIGHT

Mr.. II. G. Mower, of Dexter, has on
his farm log cabin which he has orna-
mented with various trophies of the
chase. One is of uncommon interest.
1t is single moose horn of good size
with three broken prongs, that is a
relic of forest battle between two bull
moose that no man saw, but which was
SO desperately fought that both the
animals left their interlocked antIers
on the field as a memorial of its fierce
ness. Deep in the forest north of
Mount katahdin, Mr.. Solomon Bates,
Of Heresy plantation, a relative of Mr..
Mower, CHANGED upon these trophies.
The four horns were hooked together
and all were broken off squarely at the
base. The solidity of the bony struc-
ture of the horns indicates that they
were lost in the height of the season,
when they must have been firmly set
and could not have been wrenched off
without tremendous struggle. They
certainly have a suggestion of forest
wildneSs and vigor about them as mute
proofs of such a conflict, that puts the
ordinary antier away into the back
ground for interest-Lewiston (Me.)
