Saturday, Sept. %, L. o. Colburn
of East Shrewsbury, aged "a, caught
his eighty-third bear. The first one
was canght forty-one years ago. One
OF his bears was caught on the we'd
ding anniversary of his eldest daugh-
ter, Jane Colburn Shedd Of keene, n.
H., and to her he gave the skin for a
rug. When girl she was accustom-
ed to go with him to the bear traps
and at one time, when they found
two cubs and an old bear in a trap at
once, she was delighted to feed the
cubs with apples from her own hand.
Those little cubs weighed forty-five

Colburn's record as bear trapper is
certainly one 10 be proud Of.

by the Windham county petit jury. |
Sydney ID. Farnsworth pleaded not
guilty TO bigamy. 1t was shown that
he married Emma DeCamp OF Bar
louisville Dec. Z, 1896, and, that with
no legal separation, he again married
Mabel Farmer of Townsend, with
whom, since April ?, 1899, he has been
living. The defense was 10 the effect
that the DeCamp woman was married
TO Henry Golf Of Fitzwilliam, n. H.,
Aug. 8, 1892, ana that she had no le-
gal separation from him when she
married Farnsworth. This would,
OF course, make her marriage to Farms
worth illegal. When a certified copy |
OF the certificate of marriage of the
woman TO Golf was put into this case
the court directed the jury to render
a verdict Of not guilty.
