AN ITALIANS METHOD OF REVENGE
Took Man to Cow Island Gave Him 6
Beating and Then lowed Him Home.

A queer yarn was floating about the
city yesterday. AS it was told the re-
porter it was something like this: Two
Italians who had grudge against fell
low countryman, and who did not dare to
use the stilletto as they might have done
in the old country, invited the man to go
on a fishing trip with them to Cow ISL
and, VIII CHI very few or no people on 1T.
| The Italian had had some trouble about
a girl and they determined to revenge
| themselves on the more successful lover
in the following brutal manner: Reach
ing the island the two conspirators pro-
ceeded to give the defenseless man ter
rible beating. They nearly killed him
before they were satisfied and only
stopped beating him because they feared
that he would be killed. Then they
stripped the clothes off the unconscious
man and putting him in punt towed
him to Portland behind their boat When
he had recovered consciousness, the con-
spirators tossed their victim an oar or
paddle, and told him to row ashore. He
was at that time abreast of Fish Point
and succeeded in reaching the beach in
safety. Here his friends found him and
took him ashore nearer dead than alive
A few of the policemen had heard Of this
story yesterday, but had not been able
to locate the victim or the two Italians
who had maltreated him. 1t was said
about the italian quarter yesterday that
the STORY WAS trI1a and that, all concerned
in it had left the city.

A DARING CHALLENGE.
Myrtle Peek Defies Uncle Sans Mounted
Troops.

Myrtle Peek, most accomplished horse
woman in the world, promises to be at
Rigby park during the New England fair
week with her trained horse Boston-a
steed brought up on beans, as the name
implies. Engagement has been made
with Miss Peek by Manager Farnham at
the request of Portland ladies who admire
her and the horse she saddles, and who to
tell the truth, hug themselves when she
beats men in their chosen profession.
She is going to try conclusions with the
arrogant creatures again and challenges
any trooper in the third regiment of
regular cavalry to race with her, two
horses abreast on the Rigby course. If
she wins there will be another plume in
her riding hat. IF she loses the cavalry
man will have good reason to be proud of
their victory.

Weather Indications for Sunday.

As the weather Indications for Sunday
seem to promise fair weather, why would
it not be good idea to take in the ex-
cursion to Bar Harbor which the Maine
Central Is advertising at $500 the round
trip, by train leaving Portland at 72O a.
IN. giving several hours at Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor is at the present time, the
most famous resort In America, and on
Sundays the most famous people of our
country and foreign representatives who
are summering Ethere are out for their
weekly drive which is a regular feature
and something which cannot be witnessed
at any other place.
Those who have not visited Bar Harbor
will find it offers the grandest scenery on
our coast, and the time given there can
be most enjoya ably spent.

LATE HAVING.
A Large Portion of the Crop in This Sec.
ton Is Still Uncut.

The rainy weather of this week has still
further delayed the already late haying
operations in this region. Although it is
about the first of August q large part of
the hay crop is still uncut in the fields.
The crop is one of the largest ever known.
and If the farmers can only get it into
their barns unblackened they will have a
successful hay year. So far the grass
does not seem to have suffered much ex-
cept where it has lodged. County Com
missioner Seavey who came down
through the county the first of the week,
reports the grass looking well but the
farmers very anxious to get it cut.
