killed for beef when the poor creature
was probably too far exhausted to give
milk any longer Mr.. Geer and his sons
secured the mountains for Il week when
the COW was first mi ;sed. During the
search one OF the party slipped on the
rocks and fractured Il rib, besides receiv.
Ing other bruises. Finally SHE was given

were discovered about halfway up to the
peak OF the mountain. For long time

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

SOME ONE STOLE THE BALLOT BOX.
Two towns will probably not be
represented in the Legislature this
tail. In one town some one stole
the box containing the ballots for
repre- sentative after the vote had been
completed and before the ballots were
counted. LII the other town every
vote, had cast his ballot before 2
o'clock and the clerks proceeded to
count the ballots without waiting
until 3 O'Clock, in accordance with
the provisions of the law.
The Randolph Herald doesn't put
it half bad when it says: ''For il
town that is plastered knee.deep
with injunctions, SO much talk about
Burlington's beery campaign sounds
queer. The worst of it is there
seems to have been some fire under
the smoke"
The town of Lowell has finally
stopped voting and elected demo-
GRAFT. This brings the democratic
representation IN the house up to
40.
SOME REPUBLICAN RESPONSIBLE
We are informed that ex-Gov.
Pingrec, independent republican can
didate for representative from the
town of Hartford, is a Dillingham;
man. When he found he could not
win he advised his followers to vote
for Frank ii. O'Neil, the democratic
candidate. George II. Fuller, the
regular republican nominee, is a
Prouty man. O'Neil won. Some
republican is responsible for this.
