going to do about it?''
Mr.. Long informed his neighbors. Joe
Stansheid with his hound appeared on
the scene, and the fun commenced. The
fox crossed the road below Mr.. Long s.
house and was followed by the hound
across his pasture to and around Pleasant
Point to Maple cove and up the bank into
S. A. Longs pasture. where he was fired
at by S. A. Long and Sam Stansfieid. The
fox then made a beeline for TUG Mutt
ton cove, and from thence to S. A.
Longs field, where he was overtaken by
the hound, but master fox, disdaining
his company, escaped, ran few rods
toward the A. .. U. w. hall, where Scion
and Sam took few more shots at him
but without fleet.
After doubling on his track several
times in the immediate vicinity, the fox
directed his course for the post office, but
having hardly time to call for his mail he
passed hurriediy through the village and
escaped.
That night Reyhsrd was discovered in
c. A. Cooks barn. Mrs. Cook thought
she shut him in but in the morning no
fox could be found.
Two or three days afterwards, as the
prosecuted fox was quietly accommodating

George r. Adams, formerly OF B'uehilI,
and whose wife is Bluehill girl, is just now
receiving considerable attention in west
ern papers as the pioneer of the Yukon
the first American to penetrate he riv-
er's valley. 1t was thirty-three years ago
that Mr. Adams made this trip, and it is
since that lie lived in Bluehiii, but the
story OF his experiences just now has a
particular interest.
Mr.. Adams was one OF a party sent to
explore the coast of Alaska for the Rus
sian American telegraph line and was
placed III command of an expedition to
penetrate the Yukon valley. This was in
1865 g, and for twelve years following
Mr. Adams lived in Alaska.
Back of the plain story Of hardship and
danger which Mr.. Adams can tell when
he feels like INDUCING in "reminiscences,
is story OF romance which is part of
the history of Alaska. To tell this story,
one would have to de scribe the death by
his own hand OF Mai. Kennicott, who
WAS in charge OF the party, and whose
failure to reach Fort Yukon, where he
expected TO meet another party from the
Frazier river, SO preyed upon his mind
that he took a dose OF strychnine. An

to bring supplies to the little party, and

steamers arrived after ali hope had van

strain and were put in irons and sent
back to the states, both total wrecks.
Both died some years later without bav-

perience.
Mr.. Adams is now purchasing supplies
and will make an early start for Dyea,
where he will engage IN business.
