Game Shipments Lighter Because of Too
Good Weather in the Woods.
(Bangor Commercial J


On the train from the Piscataquis di
vision of the Bangor & Arcostook rail
road Tuesday night were eight deer which
were killed in the region around Moose
head Lake. William Pruette of Hart
ford, Conn, had one; A. E. Bliss. Of
Maiden, Mass, two; B. D. Hahn, OF
Boston. one; W. W. Davis, of Boston,
two W. P. Herrick, of New York, ole;
and one WIS left at Old Town for E. L.
Spencer.
The morning train from Mattawamkeae
brought tone deer, belonging to Il. u
Moore, of Bangor, which was shot neal
Mattawamkeag. MIR. Moore sold MS
game to Pickett, the marketman.
The shipment of game SO far this sea-
son has been Yery small compared to that
of the first few days of last year. There
are scores of hunters in the woods, but
the past few days have been so bright and
warm that it has been alolnst impossible
TO 90 through the woods without making
2 noise. North OF this city the frosts
have been very heavy, and the leaves are
fast dropping to the ground. The best
time for hunting is when 1t rains, then
one can go through the woods very
quietly. 1t is said that deer always keep
moving when it rains.
The train from Greenville Tuesday
night left deer at Dover for g. W. Alb
bolt, of Dexter, and two at Monson for
W. L. Steward of that place. Wednesday
morning two deer were put off at Dover,
which were killed by Messrs. A. j. Bige-
low and S. S. Pierce, of Worcester,
Mass.
Game Warden Nichols was called to
Holeb to investigate some trouble which
the Holeb Fish & Game Association is
having with violators of the law. This
associat ation is doing great deal towards
protecting the fish and game interests In
that section.
On the noon train from over the B. &
A. Wednesday was bear weighing 200
pounds or more, which was shipped to S.
l.. Crosby & c., in this city, from Sehoo-
die. Several deer also came down for Mas
sachusetts parties. ]. A. Coolbroth. OF
Portland had deer which came from
Oakland, and f. o. Flagg and Harry
Batty, of Danielson, Conn.,, each had a
deer which were killed in the region
around Portage Lake. Two deer were lett
at Lagrange for Frank Jones, which were
shot at Millinocket. l.. W. Davis, OF
Old Town, had deer which he brought
down from Brownville.
The deer belonging to John +. Wood
cock of Boston, which was held here on
Monday because MIR. Woedcock did not ap-
dear to identify his game, was shipped to
him ON the noon train. Mr.. Woodcock
wired the game wardens from Boston and
his deer was sent along to him.
On the mixed train from Caribou which
will arrive here at 430 M, Thursday
there will be party of fifteen Massachu-
sets sportsmen, returning from the
