ALL ABOUT A CALF.
A Madison "Critter" That's
Causing Lots Of Trouble.
Suddenly Missing From Pasture.
Man Seen Leading Calf.
The Judge Thinks Latter Mad Better Explain
in Higher Court.

Skowhegan, Sept. A14-(Special. ill
looks from the court room as though "A
four months-old calf may prove of con-
siderable trouble to some people. Com
mon, ordinary. everyday calves of
this section are usually well behaved
and do not cause much trouble, but
here is something that is bound to go
bounding down the tide of time be-
cause this particular calf has made
history for itself and established n
court record as well.
1t appears that last Thursday, George
f. Clough of Madison, owned calf ut
the age mentioned above, and the
color was black. 1t is probably due 10
the fact that the calf was black that
it's identity was established from other
calves that live and thrive in Madison
Mr.. Clough's calf was in the pasture
as it was supposed and he (Mr. Cloughl
sent his son, Maurice. down to the
pasture after it-not the pasture but
the calf. The boy reported that the
calf had turned up missing and a party
started out to find the "critter.'' A
neighbor had seen a man named John
w. Wheeler driving a calf that was
black. and undoubtedly that of Mi
Clough. down the road past the white
school house. Here the school house
ceases to have any particular connec-
ton with the case.
Time gathered on apace and the calf
not showing up at feed time for several
days, Mr.. Clough began to think of legal
Nh INt< xxA1
He consulted lawyer and of course
that settled it. A search warrant was
forthcoming and an officer went down to
Mr.. Wheeler's home, which is still in
Skowhegan, but over against the town of
Canaan. The official party failed to find
the creature. but Mr.. Clough was not to
be done out of a 4-months-old calf with
out making big try to recover it. So
Mr.. Wheeler was apprehended and taken
before Justice Priest, in the Office of
Walton & Walton, attorneys at law. and
the next two days were put in trying to
locate that calf.
The evidence of Cloughs neighbor who
had seen the calf or one like it being
sight. but the defence. conducted by Mr.
Goodwin. came to the stand with the in
forma ton that Mr.. Wheeler did drive a
calf that uay. but the gentleman was per-
forming what he believed to be an act of
kindness. ,..-
He had found the calf on the track of
the Somerset Traction Co. and had at
tempted to drive 1.-THE calf-to place
of safety. The respondent admitted that
he had driven the beast down as far as
the Cold Brook trestle. about two miles
from its home. but had there left it,
1t is a momentous matter to Mr.
Clough. and probably to the calf if it be
still in the land OFT living. so Judge
Priest concluded that the case should be
pried into more and ordered the respond
ent to recognize in the sum SIN for bic
appearance before the tribunal that finds
indictments at the next term of the su-
preme court for this county. He recog-
nized

Developing ColtA

IA colt will soon let you know, with
proper care and opportunity, whether
he possesses speed or not" said Ed
Geers, the noted reinsman, recently.
"Colts learn what is wanted of them
very fast. 1t may take long time to
balance them, get them shod right, and
the harness just suited to their fancy.
If colt fights bit or check rein, it is
wise to change the rigging and keep
changing until the animal appears sat
isfed, and then be satisfied, or, as the
boys say, saw wood. If it is in him to
trot or pace winning clip, you'll not
have long to wait to find it out learn
something new every day, and there
are many unsolved problems ahead. Be
careful with the youngsters and there
will be greater percentage of race
winners bailing from every quarter of
the globe Improper education Of young
stock has driven many good man out
of the breeding industry because his
horses at maturity failed to fulfill ex-
pectations, and he could not tell the rea-
son why. The development of the trot-
ting horse family is truly great

War on Football.

Members of the Kansas legislature
are about to declare war on football
players by Introducing bill to send to
Jail anybody that may hereafter partici-
pate in game.
The fact that three persons were kill
ed and f25 others were seriously injured
in the United States this season while
playing football prompted the legisla-
tors to conclude that the game is bar
barous. They 60 so far as to assert that
football is even more brutal than prize
fighting was in the days when men who
professed to be pugilists had to fight or
shut up. 1t is said also that bill will
be introduced in the Missouri legislature
this winter making it misdemeanor or
a felony to play football in the state. A
number Of members have measures
drawn up placing football upon the
same plane as prize fighting, and it is
probable that number of bills will be
introduced in both houses upon the
matter as soon as the legislature meets.
