Mr. Roberts and his friends instead Of

a member Of the city committee chosen at
the Democratic mayoralty caucus, last
spring. That committee was leQislated
out OF office. by the passage OF the Bidde-
ford caucus bin at Augusta In April, but
the claim is raised that flaw IN the bill
invalidated 1t.
Today's caucus was held in compliance
with call issued by the new Democratic
city committee. of which ex-Mayor Ed
ward W. Staples is chairman. While it
was In progress boJs were ON the streets,
distributing handbills announcing that a
Democratic caucus for the choice Of dele
gates to the district convention will be
held in the old Times office Monday eve
ming. This call was signed by the chair
man and secretary Of the old commit ee.
So the convention In Portland Thurs

the presentation Of credentials from rival
Biddeford delegations. Candidate Roberts
Will head the delegation to be chosen
Monday, and can be depended on for a
stirring speech In the convention In favor

Candidate Roberts admits that there is

BRuiN ON A coWCATcHER.
After He Got or There Was Lively
Bear Hunt

After He Got or There Was o Lively
Bear Hunt.
Not long ago as railroad train
was passing through Wilder's cut.
near Olcut Run, Pa, the engineer
was astonished to see black bear
coming around a sharp curve. The
cut is so narrow that there is hardly
room for a man to stand aside and
allow an engine to pass without
striking him.
Bruin was more amazed than the
engineer. Instead of stepping aside
he reared on his launches and await
ed events. The locomotive was run
ming less than 90 miles an hour, for
the place is a dangerous one. Upon
seeing the bear the engineer shut of
steam and applied the brakes, but
the distance was too short TO escape
an accident. The cowcatcher slid
under the hind legs of the brute and
lifted him off the ground.
Thinking all trouble was over, the
engineer put on steam once more,
while the fireman climbed out of TIE
cab window and stole along the
guard rail to find out what had be
come of the bear. He was there,
clasping the cowcatcher, the lower
part of his body just grazing the
ground and his head almost reach
ing the bottom of the headlight. He
seemed to understand that the only
thing he could do was to hold fast.
and he did so during the run to the
next station, ten miles distant The
station agent was standing at the
depot door as the train approached.
The sight of full grown bear on
the cowcateher fairly took away his
breath.
As soon as the engine came 10 .

perch and made a break for free
dom. This took him straig ght toward
the agent. who dashed through the
door. slammed it shut. leaped
through the rear door and went ny

out: Bear Bears Somebody get

PEOPLE OF TITLE.

The king of Belgium has presented
a Flemish painting and a superb piece
Of Brussels lace to an English bazaar.
The prince of Wales was so pleased
with his experience of motor cars dur
ing his recent visit to the Riviera that
he has ordered one to be sent to him
at Sandringham from a Partisan firm.
Princess Henry of Prussia has ar
rived at Genoa from China and will
proceed direct to the baths Of kruenz
mach, near 3ingen, where her sons,
the Princes Waldemar and Sigismund,
are staying. Princess Henry will spend
the summer between Kiel and Prince
Henrys country seat in Holstein, and
in September she and her sons are
going to England on visit to the
queen at Balmoral.
Prince Nicholas, the third son OF
Prince George of Greece, spends his
leisure in writing poems and pieces
for the stage. In a recent dramatic
competition a piece composed by the
prince was considered to be one Of the
best submitted to the judges. One of
Prince Nicholas plays has been per-
formed by a theatrical company at
Athens, but the author hid his identity
under an assumed name. Prince
Nicholas has artistic as we'll as lit
erary talent, and at the present time
Athenians are admiring his picture at
the exhibition of fine arts.
