SMALL FOREST FIRE.
Set BY Man Who Killed a Deer in
Close Time.

Fire Warden Frank Gray of Wesley
reports that a forest fire which started
the first of last week on Township 90
on East Machias river burned over
about 100 acres. Mr.. Gray with a crew
Of IL men, was on the spot before the
fire had gained great Roadway and,
water being handy, was able to quickly
surround ii and get it under control.
The damage to the East Machias Lum-
Der Company, which owned the land,
was slight, the territory burned being
timbered with birch, in part, the re-
ma1nder being an open heath. The
cause of forest fires is often doubt
full question with the wardens. but in
this instance the cause was quite APP
parent, as the entrails. hide and head
Of deer were found at the point where
the fire originated, making it evident
that the poacher kindled a fire TO
make srnudge for mis- protection from
while dressing his game.

Portland Captain Very Badly Burned
In Schooner Fire.

Word has been received in Portland
TO the effect that Capt. George Allen
Of the schooner l.. NJ. Eaton which
was destroyed by fire off the coast of
Rhode Islnnd on Monday is suffering
badly from the burns received. 1t Is
very much feared that Captain Allen
will lose the sight OF his eyes as re-
suit of the burning. 1t seems that the
schooner WIS working under her aux
Hilary gasolcnc engine and that CAP
tain Allen went into the hold with a
lighted lamp to adjust the motor when
an explosion occurred.
The vessel was soon in flames and
Captain Allen hardly escaped with his
