+. n. Jerd laid himself under grave sus
picion OF having violated the game law tn
other day by bringing into his meat mar
ket carcass which the knowing pro
nounced to be that of a deer. He acknowl
edged having shot the animal IN his pas
| ture in Roxbury, where il was running
wild, which seemed conclusive evidence
/ but finally COMPOUNDED the venison con
noisseurs by assuring them that the meal
! they recognized so readily was particular
1 ly choice veal. They could comfort them
| selves, however, with the reflection that
| in the open season good many calves are
mistaken for deer by enthusiastic hunters,
though Mr. Jerd in this instance had not
made the costly error OF shooting deer IN
the closed season for a calf.
The open season for deer, shortened at
the last session of the legislature 10 six days,
will begin Monday morning, the 23d inst,
and close Saturday night, the 18th. NO
deer with horns less than three inches
long shall be shot, and recent court rul-
ing has made It plain that no guess WORK
will be countenanced; the hunter must see
the horns and know they are at least three
inches long before he fires. Neither the
law nor the courts have said anything
about its being binding on the deer 10
stand around and wait for the hunter TO
finish squirting at him with a foot-rule.
The town clerk and game wardens have re-
ceived from State Commissioner ii. u.
Thomas of Stowe application blanks for
nonresident hunters. The Licenses this
year are printed on red paper, instead Of
the white Of last season, and will be de-
livered to the applicant upon the receipt
of SIS, which Is TO be forwarded at once TO
the commissioner with the application and
not delayed in sending until the season
closes.
The new board OF directors and officials
of the Connecticut Loan and Realty com
pany, in which eleven local investors are
interested to the total amount Of $1,000,
have reported To the superior court OF
Hartford, Conn.,, at a special session Sep
TENDER 2S that il would not be necessary
to appoint receiver for the company, a
majority OF the shareholders (among them
the Randolph subscribers) favorlng the
plan OF liquidation by the directors with
the approval of the court. To this plan
10, 700 shares have already been pledged,
and another week was asked OF the court
to complete the work OF getting the plans
in shape and to obtain the pledge OF 500
additional shares. All the lawyers pres
ent agreed that the share holders position
is better now than at any time since the
tangled affairs OF the company were called
to the attention OF the court. Under the
agreement with the stockholders the di-
rectors will liquidate the business inside
Of four years, although it is expected the
work will be accomplished in much less
time.
Gains Pease, aged ~ years, 5 months
and u days, departed this life Saturday
night, September 30, after an illness with
intestinal nephritis, by which he was first
seriously attacked in June. He was born
in Jericho, where all OF his life was passed
in following his chosen trade OF carpenter,
with the exception OF seven years spent in
Boston and the last seven years in Ran
dolph. In October, 1898, Mr.. and Mrs.
Pease removed here from Jericho TO take
up their residence with her brother, j. w.
Hale. whose wife had just died. and who
needed the companionship and care so
faithfully given him till his summons
came the 18th OF September last-twelve
short DAYS before the death angel visited
the same household again. For nearly
fourscore years Mr.. Pease had lived up
rightly in the sight OF his fellow men,
whose cordial liking was won by his
genial kindly nature, and their respect by
his sterling qualities. The tortitude OF
his character was shown in his illness
whose tedious trial was born with the ut
most patience. He is survived by his wife
and one son. Frank, OF Jericho, TO which
place the remains were taken Monday for
the funeral service held Tuesday after
noon at the home there.
