COSTLY HOAX.
Brack 1T Got il Up and HIS Victims
Turnet the Tables.

Augusta, Me-. July ga special from
Staceyville says Commissioner Carleton. ac-
companied by Warden Hodgkins arrived
there Friday night. and before they left
Saturday the little town was in a great state
of excitement.
Mr. Cartoons visit was due 10 letter that
he received from Fred Brackett stating that
Fred Cummings had shot a moose and the
meat was in Mark Dudley's house.
Mr.. BrsclEett reiterated the statements in
his letter TO Mr.. Carleton, who. with the war
den. visited Mr.. Cummings, who works for
Mr.. Dudley, late at night. They became
thoroughly convinced that the story was a
hoax.
Cummings and Dudley were so incensed
against Brackett for making this charge that
bright and early Saturday morning, they
called on Mr.. Carleton, wishing to swear TO
what they knew about Brackets poaching.
Trial Justice Robert NJ Mcclure was called
in and two warrants obtained against Brackett
for shooting four deer and batting traps
with them this summer Brackett pleaded
guilty and was fined s120 and costs.
