county buildings upon this land cease &c
be used for county purposes they shall re.
vert to the heirs. There are seventeen OF
these Cummings heirs, residing in diner
cnt states. Although some of the heirs
have already notified the county commits
sioners that they formally lay claim to
these shares, no authorized agent has YET
appeared. and the commissioners propose
to hold on to the keys until such party
comes along. The court will probably
have to deal with the matter later The
original cost of the buildings and repairs
amounted to about $4,000. What the
heirs will agree to do with the buildings
is uncertain.
Maine appears to be well represented In
the Sportsmen Exposition at New
York today. Speaking of the well known
guide in attendance from this State the
New York Times says: Edward Grant
the champion romancer of the Maine
woods; "Jock" Darling. Freeman lib
bstts. Grant Fuller, and Granville Gray,
are the names of the guides, and, in order
to make full measure, Miss Crosby, the
guardian angel of the Maine camp, has
fetched on Sebat Glossian, Penobscot
Indian. who is known as the "Oldtown
Guide, and who is one Of the best woods
men in Maine. Usually such batch of
guides could not be together an hour
without spinning lot of yarns for the
delectation of such amateur sportsmen as
looked lovingly at them, aud occasionally
vcntured to speak to them yesterday.
Rut the weather seemed 70 have dpDres-
sing effect on these hardy sons of the north
woods, and no one could induce them TO
indulge in anything that approached
romancing. They seemed afflicted with
stage fright, but pleasant day and few
more visits to the cafe is sure to enliven
their imaginations and loosen their
tongues, and then visitors can get such
trout stories as they are greedy for.

each with his arms folded. They APP

their holsters and the first two shots

or the sympathy expressed for the Ar

merely IA repetition of the bomb-throw-

ishers OF society.
