party of Massachusetts sportsmen
recently witnessed a bloody fight be-
tween woodsmen at Northwest Carry,
They said that they never saw such
savagery In all their lives. The men
were bound for the logging camps at
Camden Falls. There had been much
drinking going on and frequent wrang-
les had occurred in which some of the
men were badly used. But at North
west Carry the war broke out with
awful fury and twenty men were sud-
denly plunged into dreadful combat.
They punched, gouged. kicked and bit
They used fists, clubs and stones Heads
were battered. features disfigured and
limbs MANNED. Blood flowed like wa
ter and the awful curses of the combat
ants made the spectators blood run
cold. The fight didn't end until the
men were completely exhausted. The
Massachusetts men were very much
astonished to note next day that there
were no vivid traces of animosity in the
actions of the men toward each other.

ledge. The wind was blowing almost a
gale, and he abandoned the boat and
waded ashore. where he spent the
night in the woods. In the early morn
ing two hunters from Brooklin found
the abandoned craft and handbag in
her by which they identified the miss
ing occupant. The boat was taken to
Bluehill, and Mr.. Osgood's family noti-
fed. No explanation but the drowning
theory could be offered for his disap-
pearance. and the family was overcome
with grief. While the excitement was
at its height. Mr.. Osgood was being

Victoria believes our government I'M

Bangor has recently been treated to
two samples of disgust that was the
genuine article. One was the disgust
of the hunter who went for ducks,
hunted two days only to find his gun
unloaded when he esped bird, having
forgotten to load it. The other was
the disgust of a lady visitor who ar
rived by boat but sat up all night so as
not to be carried by Bangor.
NO one, of course, can reasonably
find fault with the restrictions for Sc
crecy which the government attempts
to maintain about it's Notifications
But as very often happens there is
more of red tape than of value to them
and the people who might as well visit
the forts are kept away and those who
ought to be kept away secure all the
information they care for. While
no one not an employee or officer is
allowed to visit Fort Gorges in Port
land harbOr it is said the contractor
who is doing the work there is British
citizen. though this is not certain, and
his workmen are Italians. When the
British ship Pallas visited Portland an
American officer expressed regret that
he could not take the British officer
over the works at Portland head. To this
the latter replied, "Oh, that is all right,
our government undoubtedly has plans
of all your works.

from the line of the B. & A. r. r.

1t is quite commonly believed that
some of those who bring big game back
with them from their hunting trips
were indebted to the guides for shoot
ing it. We don't believe, however, that
the guides were responsible for such
conditions as this report from Kineo
describes: There is great slaughter Of
young deer. Fully eight out Of 20 car
casses that came down the lake, Mon
day, were carcasses of kids that could
not weigh more than 80 to 40 pounds.
The hunter seems to be filled solely
with desire to kill something. Guide
Chase Morris was out with party at
Henry stream, Saturday, and protested
mildly against the shooting of young
deer. That's what we're here for.
amt it?" was the hunters reply.
THE law gives us the right to shoot,
and 1 guess we amt going to let our
chances pass" and yet it is a pity to
see kids not half grown coming in as
trophies of the skill of city visitors. A
peculiar thing, according to the guides
is the large number of young deer this
year. They say that either the growth
of the deer has been delayed for some
reason, or that the breeding season
was changed this year, or else there is
an enormous increase in the deer family
in Maine.

men, which was besieged by the
Greek insurgents, has cut its way
through the Greeks with a loss of 800
men killed. 1t Is added that the fight
was stubborn. 1t was on the fourth
