AUGUSTA LOCALS.
VERY SLY SLIDE.
,,.,ne Patient Escapes BY an lmproviset
Rope-Was Captured.

willis NJ, Lucas of York, who escaped
from the Insane Asylum. Monday
night was brought, Wednesday, from
his home in York
His escape was unique enough
1ucas was taken to the hospital foi
treatment, about six months ago. He
had had spells of being violent, and his
mother. with whom he lived, had be-
came afraid that he would do some
damage.
During his stay at the hospital, his
condition became improved. He had
for some time been a resident of the
convalescent ward.
Evidently quite aware of what he
was doing, and in the most up-to-dats
fashion. he made a rope of bed clothes
and slid down to the ground, consid-
cradle distance underneath. He made
his way to the Pullman, and escaped
from the city that same night.
At his home. Tuesday, he became
violent, and, fears being entertained
that he would make trouble, he was at
once taken into custody and brought
back to the hospital, and put into a
room, where a rope of bed-clothes CT
any other will be of no service to him.

Mustn't BE TOO SOON.
Fishing on Lakes Not Permitted Until All
the Ice Is Out. -4..

There is much anticipation among the
fishing fraternity in regard to the coming
season. which will be here right away if
no more freeze-ups take place. as the ice
is about ready to drop to pieces.
The law requires that no fishing be done
in the ponds until all the ice is out. Not
wholly understanding the purpose of the
law, it is reported that some sportsmen
have fished, this year, in an open space
which extends in Lake Cobbosseecontee
from WEIGHS cottage down to the bridge.
Commissioner Carleton says that the
law should be construed that all the ice
must be out before fishing will be allowed.
The persons who went fishing We're en-
trely unaware that they We're transgress-
ing any laws, and no one cares to fol-
low the matter up.
On account of the close time on ice fish
ing on Lakes Maranacook and Cobbos-
seecontee. the fishing steadily improves.
In both these bodies of water there is the
best of bait, and fishermen in this Sec
ton are approaching more and more the
fine sport which Kennebec- waters fur
nish.
When the water is clear from ice there
will be scramblng for the happy fish
ing grounds for a good days sport.

WHAT GUIDES SAY.
Communications in Which They Protest
Against Reports and Assert They Are Law
Abiding.

Editors Kennebec Journal:
Dear Sirs: In a recent issue of your
paper paragraph appeared which so
grossly and maliciously misrepresents
the guides of this region that | cannot
allow it to pass unnoticed as an in
dividual, or as representing the Moose
head guides. especially as it has been
widely circulated and extensively
quoted TO our disadvantage and injury,
l refer to the article which told of
the intention of the guides here to re-
sist the laws of the State relating to
registration, and expressing a deter
mination and threat on their part to
hang the first man applying for a
License"
[ In the name of the Moosehead Lake
Protective Association. whom have
the honor to representa- protest against
such unwarrapted and untrue state
ments as contained in the article indi-
Gated, and brand it as a lie.
We guides are not, perhaps, as cult
waited and intelligent as those of our
citizens who have enjoyed better oppor
tunities and greater advantages but
we are possessed of the natural in
stincts and attributes Of marliness and
manhood. which include fair play ar l
honest regard for the rights OF others
We have too much pride in our noble
profession, and too much loyalty to cur
grand Old fore .t-clad State, and too
much Vener ration for the fundamental
principles underlying our system q
government to stand before the peopl =
as illegally opposed to the laws of our
COmmDnWta TIL or as prepared to re-
sist them by force and Intimidation.
Relying upon your sense of justice to
give this communication a place il
your columns, | am,
Very respectfully yours,
