"PETE" FONTAiNE.
An Interesting Story of Career In the
Maine Woods.

Dover. Me-. March 22.-(Special)-
The news of the capture Of Petit Bel
fountaine commonly known to the
game wardens as Pete" Fountaine was
of Piscataques county with more or
less interest. Old Pete has been here
several times years ago and has sew
eral intimate acquaintance in both
of the twin villages On several oc-
casions he has been before the mu-
nicipal court here charged with va
rious offences. chiefly poaching but he
never failed to clear himself of ali
charges against him although the
Wardens arresting him We're pretty al
ways sure of Il clear case against the
man. He would always find way
out. however. Foulitaine has prob
ably been charged with more crimes
than any other person in Maine. He
has also probably done more poaching
than any other individual in Maine or
Canada and he has been the hardest
man to catch that the game wardens
have ever had to contend with.
Several years ago he was cOrnered
III the northern woods and in fact
caught red handed trapping beaver by
Game Warden Hermann O. Templeton
Pete showed fight and was shot and
wounded by Templeton but managed
to elu1c the officer while being brought
out tn civilization. 1t is alleged that
he afterWard SWore to kill TempletOn
on sight and it is probable that he
might have committed the crime had
he caught Templeton mapping. so to
speak.

tain has been charged with many
crimes, but ii is doubtful if he is guilty
of even . part of them for it mas be-

some way connect oil Pete with it.
He is simply Il habitual viOlator of the
game laws of the State and he can see
no reason why he should not kill any
animal that runs wild in the woods of
Maine or Canada. He has been charged
with the killing of moose, caribou
deer. beaver and in fact every animal
protected by the game laws and he has
also been mentioned in connection with
several mysterious disappearance of

Or this latter charge nothing can be
proved other than the fact that he was
known to have been in the locality
where the missing persons were last
seen.
lie is man that trusts no one and
iinagines that every hunter is en-
cro2ching on his rights when i'm the
woods near his stamping grounds near
Baker lake. He very seldom comes out
into civilization and when he does
SHOW himself is most uncommunica-
tive.
Of late years he has been combining
himself to the Canadian woods making
frequent trips across the line TO his
camp on Baker lake. To illustrate his
suspicion of any human being the fol-
lowing incident is told. Several years
ago a young Boston man who was a
frequent visitor to the Maine woods
cane down for his annual summer va
cation. He decided on an exploring trip
in the northern part of the state. In
company with a Kineo guide he Start
ed AMI journeyed through towards the
Canadian line. They chose the unbrok-
en- wilderness and after being III the
woods for over Il week and having
seen 10 living human being conceived
the idea that they We're about rs far
from civilization as it was possible to
get iii Maine. at least.
While camping one night in what WAS
apparently an unexpected region they
were awakened by some thing moving
about tho camp. Both nf the men We're
awakened and without making any
noise they listened 20 the sounds. The
Bostonion who had With him d flash

lie turned on and flashed his light in
the direction and there stood a man
covering them with rife.
The guide at once recognized old
Pete and as ne was somewhat
acquainted with him asked him what
he was after and 1in:,lly assured him
that they were not tnere for the pur-
pose of doing him any harm. 1t was
several minutes before he would be-
