Since our last issue several
ofcur citizens have been asked
to defend themselves against
suits instituted by DR.. Harry
P. Mcknight; for what we
are not able to say, unless it
is upon the serious charge of
showing a picture sent
here from Ohio, which
bears the convict number
23l54, and corresponding des'
cription. And the doctor
makes the claim that it il the
picture OF a kinsman.
Now, if this is really true,
all doubt could be removed
by having his kinsman write
a genuine letter testifying
that there is such a man as
Hiram P. McKnight-a sep
arate individual from Harry
?. MacKnight.
The doctor forgets that
while he is attempting to pose
as a great and generous phil
anthropist, he has a record
in the state which will never
win for him the confidence OF
the men whom he claims are
willing to put up the money
for his free sanitarium, it
they once know him, And we
must in sincerity ask the doc
tor why he is SO anxious to es-
tablish even a free institution
in a community filled with
cut.throats, thieves and ras-
cals-the term he persistent

CATCHING GREAT BASS AT SPECTACLE
 LAKE.
 A party of New Milford gentlemen, consisting of Attorney John F. Addis, Fred McEwen, Charles N. Hall, Noble Bennitt and James Sullivan, passed a few days at Spectacle lake, recently, having a most enjoyable time. The feature of the trip was the catch early Monday morning of three large bass weighing two pounds and II ounces, two pounds and 12 ounces, two pounds and l3 ounces. During the attempt to land the last bass the following dia- logue is said to have taken place be- tween >Bennitt and Hall. Said Hall with tone of sorrow in his voice: "Nobe, I tell you Pm afraid l shall lose him." 'Cuss it all," said Nobe, ''give him all the line you've got!" Finllly, after working about Is min utes, the monster was landed, when Bennitt exclaimed in triumph: "There, I told you you'd get him if you only had little patience" The fish were on exhibition for day in the market of MT Hayes and by actual count 823 people came in to see them.
