Famous Maine Hunter Chats About a

When Young and Learned
Strange Tricks.

Joe Francis is one of the best-known
guides, hunters and trappers in the
state of Maine. He lives on what is
known as the Debsconeag Deadwater,
on the west branch of the Penobscot
river, about 20 miles from Norcross,
Me. Like all hunters and trappers, he
lives in cabin of his own on the
rivers bank and makes many trips in
all directions in his canoe. His home
is the rendezvous for hunters and
guides. When they assemble in Fran
els house at night time and, after
they have had their supper of fried
bacon and bread, and cigars have been
lighted, the rich stories that are told
of hunting life are remembered for
years by those who listen to them. 1t
is useless to say that all of these
stories contain basis of truth, but
before they are finished the magma
ton runs to point somewhat higher
than the limit allowed in courtroom
or other places. One night when all of
the guides had Id their stories of ex-
periences, both quaint and terrible,

They had been married II years.
Every Thursday night during all this
time the husband had gone out with
the excuse that he had to attend
lodge.
For a year or so the wife believed
him, but then other wives gave her
pointers. She said nothing to the hus-
band, however, but waited till she
could secure evidence to convict him
of duplicity.
Ten long years she waited, says the
Philadelphia Press, and then Size de-

groes, and flew straight up until finally
they disappeared from view and were
never seen again.

perstitious theories, they reluctantly
admitted mystery they are unable
to fathom.
The trouble, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, began one night two weeks
ago, while Edwards was engrossed in
a book and his wife was playing a
guitar. Suddenly she became aware
of a yellow light in front of her that
strayed about the room, assumed the
form of a gigantic sword, passed three
times under her husbands chair, and
then disappeared. The second evening
after this Edwards saw the same vision
as he started to leave his home to go to
the village store for a few minutes.
The great sword of fire passed across
the road in front of him, then van
ished.
Other ghostly manifestations have
been seen by the Edwards family and
their neighbors. Thomas Martin and
his wife, who live next door, allege to
have seen the figure of man emerge
through the solid outer door of the
house, inch by inch. Mrs. Edwards has
seen strange faces peering at her from
her windows and doorways. A pillar
of fire has appeared to her more than
once. The Edwards home is known as
the haunted house," and the family
is preparing to move.
