WHAT The JAIL SENTENCE DOES

An Aroostook County correspondent
of the Bangor Commercial intimstes
that the Jail sentence is not 80 popular
with liquor sellers as the simple fine and
costs. He says:
There has OF late been quite remark
able change In Aroostook County IS re-
CARDS the enforcement OF the prohibitory
law. This is not confined TO one section
but extends all over the county. While
there IL In all probability quite m
amount of liquor sold, and while liquor
can probably be obtained 10 most sec
tions OF the county, there Is a great DIFF
ference from q few months ago 10 the
manner Of the sale. Many Of the sa-
looms, In fact, most of them, are closed 10
so far as the sale OF liquor Is concerned.
In the hotels, II any sale Is carried on, II
Is done In q guarded manner and only TO
the chosen few, and the same is true OF
the drug stores. No liquor is sold to In
toxicsted men and drunkenness has
greatly decreased. In Caribou no per-
son has been carried to jail for drunken
ness for two months, while formerly the
average was two or three . week. Sim
liar reports come from all over the
county. The changed condition 10 due
to the action Of County Attorney Shaw
In asking for jill sentences against the
dealers and to the renewal Of temper
snce work all over the county. Mr..
Shaw has stated that the saloons must
be closed, and seems to have gone long
ways In carrying out bis assertion.

For the past few years hunters have
told wonderful stories about the big
.Injun devil'' that roams at will In the
vicinity Of No. 8 lake, In northern
Aroostook. One who caught glimpse
of the animal says he 10 II feet long,
and his screeches are something terrific.
This man lost no time In getting out TO
the clearing and has not ventured back
there again. A well-known w0odsman
residing at East Blaine, reports that he
has heard the animal at various times,
and at one time found where 1t was
trailing Q wounded deer. The leaps
measured thirty-seven feet. A few
weeks ago the whole logging crew left
their work and broke for the camp, on
account of the ear-splitting, unearthly
screeches and yells that appeared to
surround them and come from all direc-
lions. II Is claimed that the foreman
had to rsise every mans wages el.50 on
month to get them to resume work,
and he is anxious to have the critter
killed, 10 be cannot tell what day his
crew viii AK for another rise In wages.
