A Much Disappointed Sportsman.

For the past two years, two deer have
been making their home in the woods
along the Maine Central track between
Benton and Clinton. 1t is not an un
common thing for the passengers on
the morning mixed trains to see the
beautiful creatures in the fields. Last
week the passengers on afternoon ex
press going west saw the deer plunging
across the fields toward the woods and
a little later when Jim loves train
came along, the deer were seen again.
1t happened that on the latter train
was sportsman who had been up in
the big game region for several days
and had not got sight at deer. He
was riding in the combination car when
the deer We're sighted and he thought
here would be a good chance to get
shot at them and if he brought one
down he could go back after it by team.
Hastily taking his rife from it's case
he repaired to the baggage end of the
car opened the door. The deer at this
time were running lightly along in the
same direction as the train and as it
was a mixed train they had no diff
Guilty in keeping up with it. The deer
were about so yards from the train.
When the sportsman opened the car
door, Jim Lowe stepped along to him
asked What are you going to do. mis-
ter?" Il am going to try and get one of
those deer was the reply. Jim laid
his hand firmly on the sportsmans arm
and said:
Look here, mister, that won't do.
Those deer know their business. They
know more about the Maine game law
than you do. They are in Kennebec
county where it is close time the year
round for a number of years to come
They have been here for two years and
we have come to think considerable of
them. We look for them every day but
if we caught one of them down in
Somerset county we can not tell how
far our affection would go. Anyway
don't shoot them here" But wasn't
that sportsman disappointed.

Mayor Redington has bone to pick
with the fish and game commission.
The mayor says that the action of the
commission in closing the ponds and
the tributaries to the ponds has made
it impossible for the man who has been
accustomed to catch eels and make a
good living thereby. at certain seasons
of the year and that season of the year
comes under the ban, to continue to
do so, and in the language of the mayor
who in the Dickens wants to protect
eels?" The mayor has written to Com
missioner Carleton and is now await
ing reply.

Not the Kind Of a Game We Like,

The game between Waterville and He
hron was a disappointment to nearly ev-
erybody that attended. Occasionally
there was brilliant work on the part of
both teams and then again there was the
rockiest kind of slugging on the part OF
both teams. We will not pretend to say
which team started in first to do the slug
ging and it does not matter Hebron went
on to the field confident of winning and
Waterville went onto the field for the
purpose of stopping the visitors The re-
suit shows that neither side scored and
the story of the game which follows will
show why there was no score.
Friends of both teams lined the ropes :
the young ladies of Waterville high school
massng on the north side, giving the
school cry which was re-echoed by the
young gentlemen on the south side. The
students of Coburn got together and gave
Waterville a send off when they had got
on the field and the Watervile team
massed on the gridiron and returned the
compliment Thus far everything was

UNKNOWN FOUND DEAD.
Chicago, May THE body Of well
dressed man vas found in the river near
the State street bridge today. II had
evidently been in the water for-some
time. In pocket the police found an
insurance book containing a number OF
names and addresses, one of which read
"John Kuntzler, Bradford, Pa" The
other names bore Philadelphia ad-
dresses. The dead man was about %
years Old, wore a short black moustache
and mad brown hair and eyes. The
police think the man was an insurance
agent.
