SHORT Lo BsTER SEIZURES.
Fish Warden N. j. Hanna, of Lincoln
County Makes Things Lively in This
Vicinity.

Fish Warden N. j. Hanna of Bristol,
Lincoln county. has been in this vicinity
during the past three weeks looking after
the violations of the short lobster Law.
During this time he has seized and liber-
ated over II, 900 short Holsters betwes n
several arrests. Yesterday Fish Warden
Hanna was at Peak island and made
things extremely lively there for the
lobster men. He seized a car containing
S04 short Holsters and liberated them.
There was no name on the car which was
seized and 1t was towed by the fish
warden to Little Diamond island and
marked state property, and will be
brought to this city today. Off Willard's
Beach the fish warden seized another car
containing 450 Holsters and at House
Island he got another containing 1926,
All of these Holsters were small and were
set at liberty, and the oars confiscated.
The fish warden thinks that nearly all of
these Holsters belonged to the same man.
About year ago. SO the PRESS is In
formed, nearly thirty of the lobster
catchers at Peaks signed an agreement
not to take or sell any short lobsters, and
the first person who broke this agreement
was to forfeit $3.50. The agreements has
been lived up to by the signers. and as a
result the Holsters have been more plentt-
full this season off Peaks than ever be-
fore.
Fish Warden Hanna says that the
lobster men of Lincoln county are all in
favor of an enforo ement Of the law, and
believe 1t Is for the ir best interest to live
up to it. Lobsters have increased wonder
fully there in the last few years and the
lobster fishermen are making more money
today than ever before.

CONGRESS ST. CHURCH.
1t Has Been Thoroughly Remodelled aud
Refurnished.

The Congress Street Methodist church,
Rev. George D. Lindsay pastor, has been
thoroughly remodelled and painted and
will be rededioated on Sunday next.
The exterior Of the church has been
neatly repaintsd by Isaac Webber, and
makes a most attractive appearance. The
vestibules both on the ground and church
floors, have been prettily redecorated and
eoarpeted. The principal changes will
be found in the cellar, which has been
entirely csmented, and provided with
all the most approved sanitary arrange
ments including plenty of Sebago water,
and in the auditorium of the church. In
the auditorium handsome stained glass
windows-from Redding, Bond & Co.,
Boston-five on side, have taken the
place of the old ordinary glass windows.
A pretty half light illuminates tho pull
pit recess, representing dove on blue
ground, and in the rear Of the gallery
are three interlaoing arched wind ows, of
stained glass, one bearing the Bible, an
other dove and the third cross and
crown. The organ has been removed
from the pulpit recess to the right of the
platform, much more satisfactory posi-
tion for pastor, organist, and choir.
The new steel ceiling is beauty. It
is in panel and beam work. The prevail
ing color is gIeenish cream with the
cornices In terra outta of different
shades. The walls Of the church are very
prettily tinted in h armoizing colors by
W. A. Bates Of Lewiston. The ceiling
was furnished by W. A. Spearin of Lew
iston, agent for the Wheeling Corrugating
Co., Of Wheeling, West Virginia. The
new pews are arranged in semi-oircls.
They are of oak and eighty-four in num-
Der acoomm odating about five hundred
people, but in addition, there are pews
in the gallery that will bring the seating
These pews came from the Grand Rapids
Manufacturing Go. of Grand Rapids,
Mich. A very thick soft carpet of Lowell
ingram. from Hooper, Son & Leighton,
covers the floor of the auditorium and
the vestibules Two handsome case
liers. candle burners, eighteen lights in
each, decorate the centre of the church
an two three lights, one on each side of
the pulpit. These are from L. W. Oleve-
land.
1t will thus be seen that the society
will 60 into q most attractive house Of

THE BORDER FRACAS.
Deputy U. =. Marshal LDomis Talks Of
the Mexican Outbreak-Santa
Teresa's Part In 1t.

Mr.. W. H. Loomis, chief U. 8. deputy
marshal, returned last night from trip
along the Mexican border, going from
Deming into Mexico as far as Polomas.
As is well known Deputy Loomis has
been energetically at work for three weeks
past seeking the whereabouts of the Sepsr
postoffice robbers. After the attack by
tevolutionists on the Polomas custom
house, yesterday one week ago, Mr.
Loomis was informed that there we're FIVE
or six American desperadoes among the
revolutionists and he went to inquire
officially into the matter thinking per-
haps some of the Separ gang could be
found there. His Investigations, how
ever, showed that no Americans we're con-
cerned in the attack at Polomas, nor
were there any Tomachic Indians in the
There were but twenty-six members in
the revolutionary band and they are un-
der the leadership of an escaped Sonora
convict named Pomposo Ramos Polo.
In the fight at Polomas the bandits were
resisted by the custom house officers and
guards, the battle lasting seven hours.
Two of the bandits we're killed, two of the
Mexican custom house employees we're
mortally wounded and several slightly
wounded. The bandits were finally
driven off and retreated in a badly de-
moralized condition. The report that
they crossed the line into New Mexico is
not correct.
As to the cause of the uprising Mr..
Loomis says it is difficult to say, although
it is fact that this band carries
banner bearing Santa Teresa's picture
and has made her it's patron saint, proba-
bly,, however, without her knowledge or
consent,
