oasly and perhaps fatally injured in a

Fred and Eugene Hale Henry Whit
ing and Prof. Harry G. Emery have been
enjoying a few days fishing at Corliss
Bros camp on Mopang lake. They made
some fine catches of trout and a few sal
mon. But the most fortunate man on the
trip was Henry Whiting, no was treated

again, nuen us he would like to. lie was
fishing with one OF the Corliss boys on
Pleasant River lake Monday, when two
immense moose, Il cow and bull, entered
the lake and swan toward them. The
moose did not see the fishermen, who APP
preached within one hundred yards and
teasted their eyes upon the great animals,

time on moose and that their fishing rods
were rifles. The moose finally discovered
the fishermen, but did not retreat until a
war whoop from Mr.. Whiting sent them
plunging from the shore. The other
mem bers of the fishing party were fishing
in anot her lake and did not see the moose.
Ellsworth sent about $50 people on the
Washington County railroad excursion
to Esstport Saturday. All returned de-
lighted with the trip in general and the
new railroad in particular. On the invi-
tation OF the PASSPORT ball nine, Charles
p. Halpin scratched together ball team
from Ellsworth and Cherrytield which
succeeded in getting beaten by score of
$50. PASSPORT doomed the ball game as
a big attraction, advertising the Els
worths as one OF the best teams in the
state. The PASSPORT correspondent Of
the Bangor Wing and Courier says: sit
was expected to be one of the hottest
games played here for some time. The
E.lsw ortiz team came down east wit a
glorious reputation, but they wish now
that they had stayed at home, far as
their glory is concerned Ellsworth is a
little surprised at the GLORIOUS reputa-
tom OF her ball team, considering the
fact that she has had nothing more than
high school team for several years, and
hasn't even that this year.
