STATE HOUSE.
One Town Gets $2305 in Wild
Cat Bounties.
Towns Received Increased Amounts
on Account of Railroad Tax.
Land Agent Rings Quick Trip to
Washington.

1t will be remembered that the Legs
lature of 1899 repealed the law giving
bounties on wild animals and then
through inadvertence re-enacted the
same provision. The last Legislature,
however, wiped out the law entireiy
and now no bounties are pald on
wolves. wildcats and bears, as former
ly But the State is much poorer OH
account of the mistake when was
made in 1899, for il has cost $366l to pay
the bountieS claimed under its proVls-
ions.
The charge has b cen made that since
the creation of the law paying boun-
ties on wildcats these animals have
largely increased. Especially Is this
true of the border towns. For In
stance, the treasurer of the city or
Calais was paid the sum of $1,000 to re-
imburse him for the amount he had
paid in bounties on wildcats for the
year 1900 and part of 1901. 1t is even
stated that three men secured this big
sum of money, nearly $500 each. They
made good day wages killing cats and
presenting the nose and ears to the city
treasurer and getting their bounty.
so the Legislature repedleu the law
for good and all, and the hunters of
wildcats and the like must turn their
hands to something else.
The bounty on seals aggregated $2175
for the year 1901, as against $1579 for
the year 1900. In the year 1900 the town
of Stockton Springs was reimbursed for
bounty paid on seals in the sum of $168,
while the past year the same town was
Stonington was paid only SIG for seal
bounties, but the last year the amount
jumped to $3l5, an increase of 1929 in
a single year.
These figures only demonstrated that
the payment of bOunties for the ami
hilation of animals and seals does not
decrease the supply; rather it increases
them.

week, with /. l.. Halman of Boston, as
president; the Hon. f. X. Wilson Of
Cherryfield. vice president; M. Gallert
of Ellsworth, secretary ands treasurer,
| and Samuel f. Ward of Boston, finan-
cier. An office will be established in
| Ellsworth. with George II. Swazey of
! Boston. as superintendent. Surveyors
will at once go over the ground, laying
out the route and locating the power
houses and car buildings. 1t is thought
that about a month will elapse before
| actual construction is begun. The Off
Gals of the road say that it will be one
of the best-equipped in Maine. A char
ter was granted at the last session of
| the Legislature. at which time a rival
| company failed to secure charter for
a route covering nearly the same ter
rtory. The company being authorized
to organize under special charter will
not be obliged to come to the railroad
| commissioners for location, unless
crossing disputes may arise. The new
line will connect many Hancock county
towns of prominence with Ellsworth
which are now cut off from direct COM
| munication.

sess hypnotic power The Skiffs declare
that they do not think the man who
wrote the anonymous letters actually par
ticipated in the assault. but that he got
others to do II for him.
Another strange letter says: Find

men who beat swany."

young woman whose brave young sweet
heart. Frank Swany. was beaten into In

letters threatening his life. now says she
suspects four young men OF the neigh
borhood.
she VIII not, however. name these, be-
cause OF the unwelcome notoriety that
has come to the family since the police
took up the case.
In this Mrs. Skin Is upheld by Mr..
Swany. who says he will ind out In time
himself and thrash those who have pre-
oipitated all the famiiy's trouble by their
letter writing and cruel method OF re-
