CONSIDERABLE EXCITEMENT.
Sturgis Deputies Make First Visit To
Gardiner-One Seizure Made.

Shortly after o'clock, Saturday
evening, the word was passed around
| that deputies Of the Sturgis Commits
sionerS were in town and We're about
to make the rounds. AS the city has
always been considered pretty dry, this
announcement caused considerable ex-
citenent, and thereafter every stranger
on the streets was Immediately spotted
as a deputy. There We're only two in
town, however. and these were Messrs.
Clifford and Aver, gentlemen from the
vicinity of Skowhegan.
They descended upon the Douglass
Hotel, on Water street. during the
evening. and according to the police
report, seized a beer bottle containing
a small quantity of whiskey, and it is
said that they also found some beer
of the "Uno" variety. AS far as could
be learned no other places were visit
ed, but it was noticeable that the
street was dryer than usual, and there
was absolutely nothing doing in the
liquor line.
Later in the evening, the Sturgis
deputies journeyed over to Randolph.
The two deputies sauntered about
Gardeners principal thoroughfares.
and after noting that the lid was
on--at least to the casual observer.
they went over the bridge and visited
the Lacy house. located on Water
street. The visit there was without
| result, however. and the deputies re-
turned to Gardiner, and after seeking
accommodations at one of the hotels,
which was full Of groaning wreck vic
tins, by the way, they went on up the
| line to Augusta.
Sunday, the deputies went out to
Togus pond and transacted business.

caused by tooth but acknowledged
he did not know what was the matter
with the steer. Mr.. Bailey and MS sor
were not only willing but glad to have
the steer killed but would like the af-

them as such and expected the same
treatment from them. After eXamin-
Ing this animal "in too bad condition
to be led any considerable distance"
the officers hired boy to lead the ami
