THE POLICE RECORD. The police record
system has been in operation since last
Thursday night, and is proving successful.
1t is not, as some suppose, an alarm system
for calling the police, or to be used in case of
fire, but is merely to keep a record of the
| wherea bouts of the police while they are on
duty. There are nine boxes at different
points in the city, which the police are ex-
pected to wind up at stated intervals. The
winding of the boxes is recorded on dial
in the city rooms showing the time and
number Of the box. The locations of the
boxes has been changed somewhat from the
original plan, and are as follows: No. /, at
the corner of Main street and Waldo avenue
., rear Of Carrie Il Jones store; 3 on Prim-
rose HILL 4, rear of W o. Poor & Sons
store; ), west end of Critchett, Sibley &
Co, IS shoe factory 8, Lewis wharf; 7, corner
of Church and Miller streets s, rear of A . c.
Burgess store; 9, Carter & Co = shipyard
BIG GAME. Oct. 18th Messrs Geo e.
johnson, r. F. Dunton, and Chas P. Hazel
tine left on a deer hunting trip. They went
to Stacyville and thence to a camp but three
miles from the village. They found every
thing dry in the woods that the slightest
movement made loud noise and the
ground was so hard that the tracks of game
could not be seen. Messrs. johnson and
Dunton returned Oct. 2Sth, and reported
that they had beautiful weather for an out
ing. but very poor hunting. They did not
succeed in killing single animal of any
| kind. Judge Johnson, however, bought a
deer for B. o. Norton, which was cut up for
customers Saturday. The Judge had the
head mounted by c. r. Coombs and the
skin will be tanned at Liberty. Mr.. Hazel
tine returned Saturday evening with a small
doe. He left the camp that morning empty
handed, but having a couple of hours to
spare at Stacyville before the train left
strayed into the pasture and soon saw and
shot his deer. The animal was cut up at P
S. Staples market. John j Mellen and
Edward B. Fletcher returned Oct. 30th from
a weeks deer hunting at West Sebois Lake
They report that they killed three deer, but
brought none home. B. H. Conant and
Carroll Thompson are at Brownville deer
hunting
