Special Correspondent to the NEWS,


Last Thursday this place was the
center of a shooting ARRAY between
Italians and a section crew. The af-
fray started Wednesday afternoon by a
misunderstanding between an italian
and the foreman of the crew at work
on the St. Paul railroad about a mile
from the station, when the Italian
drew a gun on the foreman who dis
armed him. The next day fearing
more trouble, the foreman went to
Star Lake and gathered a crowd and
armed with winchesters returned here
where they laid in wait for the Ital-
ians to come up from their headquar-
tiers, and when seven or eight of them
came up on a hand-car, panied
by Officer Joe Larkins Of Minocqua to
settle the trouble SO they could re-
turn to work, the foreman and his
crowd acting crowardly, opened fire
on the Italians and officer. Five Ital-
ians were wounded, and a number Of
arrests have taken place.

MITCHELL AND B0USQUET
WILL RETIRE THIS YEAR

Alderman John w. Mitchell will not
be a candidate for reelection from
Ward seven. He made this announce
ment to The Spy last night. In an in
terview he said that the pressure of
his private affairs would prevent his
giving due attention to the demands
of his office, and therefore he could
not conscientiously resume it. There
is no lack of sentiment in the ward ia
vorable to his return to the Board of
Aldermen, and his services rendered
his constituents have been appreciated.
W. Levi Bousquet, president of the
Board of Aldermen, has announced that
he will not seek a denomination this
fall, and for the same motive that in
fluenced Alderman Mitchell. The alb
sence of Mr.. Bousquet is already pros
pectively regretted by his fellow alder
men, with every one of whom he stands
in kindly relationship.

Fall Hunting in the Maine Woods

The hunting season is now on and the
sportsmen have already commenced to
migrate toward the ineXhaustible
woodlands and forests of Maine where
game in abundance can be found,
The reports received this year state
that deer are more plentiful than ever
before, and during the close season
hunters who had gone down to camp
early, so as to get a line on their
whereabouts and be able to bag a few
deer at the outset, were startled at the
great numbers which appeared to be
everywhere.
From the Moosehead Lake country
reports are to the effect that the guides
are making ready for more sportsmen
than ever before, and scores Of moose
have been seen in that vicinity.
The country along the Penobscot
River and the Aroostook region are
fairly alive this year with deer, and
this is also considered remarkably
good moose territory.
Maine offers scenes and pleasures in
the line of fishing and hunting all her
own, and in the chase for big game she
has no competitors. Deer are not only
more numerous in Maine, but they
grow to a much larger size, and the
person who knows how to handle gun
at all, is reasonably sure of his full
quota of deer and moose.
Although deer and moose are usually
enough to satisfy the appetite Of the
average sportsman, still they are by no
means the only kinds of game to be
found in these vast timberlands. Braces
of smaller game, together with plen-
tiful supply of partridge and quail, have
already been brought into camp; and in
that section which lies contiguous to
the Dead River region, and known as
the Rangeley region, the farmers are
very much troubled on account of the
numerous depredations which have this
year been made by bears on the or
chards and corn fields. Bears are much
more numerous this season than ever
before, and to the sportsman who en-
Joys this exciting sport, this portion
of Maine is an especially desirable
spot.
| All ways now lead to Maine, and re-
/ member that the Boston & Maine Rail-
/ road is the only road out of New Eng
| land that makes direct connections for
the heart of the hunting and fishing
region.

The Same Doubt and Hesitation
Regarding the Future Course
of Prices Was Reflected Yes
terday as it Was Day Before
DISPOSITION WAS TO
CLOSE UP CONTRACTS
Both Bulls and Bears Seemed
Content to Do No More Trading
Until the Future Course of Pri-
Ces Outlines Itself, More Def
niteIy

New York. Oct 9,-The same doubt
and hesitation regarding the future
course of prices was reflected in the
days stock market as in yesteday's.
Speculation was listless and apathetie
and the sentiment of the small traders
whose operations made up the market
underwent many variations. Few ac-
tive stocks show a net change of as
much as a point, even where the days
range was considerable.
The disposition was to close up con-
tracts both on the long and the short
side until the future course of prices
outlines itself more definitely. The an
nual report of Brooklyn Transit was in
terpreted unfavorably in all the current
comment, especially in the disclosure
that the treasury bonds had been sold
during the year. Yet the stock prompt
ly advanced and resisted an attempt
on the part of professional traders to
depress the price. The stock advanced
at one time ~, showing the most con-
spicuous strength in the market.
The increase in the Atchison divi-
dend rate, although confidently pre-
dicted in some quarters, had been de-
MED with equal confidence in others.
In fact, the decision seems to have
been discussed and finally decided in
the meeting itself of the directors The
attempt to advance the stock on the
announcement proved fruitless, the ex-
IRENE rise over last night reaching less
than a point and the net gain only a.
The doubt over the predicted advance
was due to the fact of the shortage in
the corn crop.
Some of the other Southwestern rail-
dc off e,oa ,Y,lx 'oc,
though to emphasize this view The
estimate of the years wheat crop by
an agricultural periodical placing it at
a record figure and at 100 600 900 bush
els for Kansas alone was an inoppor-
tune offset to this contention. The
election of an additional Standard Oil
representative to the Union Pacific
board of directors was a verfication of
another bull prediction. But the bull
party hesitated to take up the specula-
ton for an advance, owing to the dan
ger that money furries may still inter
vene before the interior movement of
currency terminates.

A ROUND BAR OF BRASS
AWAITS AN OWNER

Two men attempted to sell a round
bar of brass which weighed about 70
pounds to Henry Stead, the Bigelow
Street junk dealer, yesterday The
latter was suspicious of the two being
the proper owners and questioned
them. They stated that they received
the brass from the foreman of Bowler
brewery. Mr.. Stead communicated
with the brewery, and it was stated
there that they knew nothing of the
brass or of the men. The men in the
meantime took alarm and departed,
leaving the brass. Mr.. Stead notified
the police and the latter expect to find
an owner for the supposed stolen ar
ticle
