PROSPECT Mr. Bert Darby of Belfast
is visiting friends in town.. Manzoni
Lanpher had quite an i'll turn last week,
but is better now =. The threShing machine
run by Eugene and Sumner NickersOn has
completed threshing in Prospect. Mr..
Wilbur Ridley got 245-pound buck last
Saturday about the same way we expect to
get one some time He was hauling brush,
and near by where he was cutting buck
and doe came out into the field and he
sent his little girl home to get his rifle. The
girl came with the rifle and her mother
with the cartridges and they held the horse
while Mr. Ridley circled around the edge of
the woods where the deer were, and within
hundred yards or thereaboutS he saw
them both and aimed for the buck. The
bullet struck him in the neck and brought
him down in his tracks. The most singular
thing about this is that Mr.. Ridley is not a
crack shot. He had only had his rifle a
week, and it was a secondhand 80 Rem
ington rifle. The expert and costly rifle
owners said it was only fit to shoot rats.
But Mr.. Ridley got a big buck with fine
lofty horns, and within five minutes time.
Twenty minutes will cover all the time
until the deer was in the barn. Chance
shot hunters had better have good jack
knife, for Mr.. Ridley did not speak very
highly of his. If he had had breech
loader, and his luck held on, he could have
got the two easy, for the other deer ran only
short ways and stopped long enough for a
shot. 1T is the champion fall for good
weather, with dry and good wheeling....
There is a great call for cord wood in the
village and around the quarries here. The
blocking SHOWS last winter caused the
shortage
