combat with a wild bird While fishing
in dory 20 miles at sea, Abe Skinner
and Stewart Stone, members of the
crew of the fishing schooner Thomas >.
Gorton landed their strange looking
antagonist at T wharf, today, when the
vessel arrived from the fishing grounds.
Stone, who suffered the most from the
fight with the mad bird, went at once
to his home in Gloucester for treat
ment. Large pieces of flesh We're torn
from his face. The trophy of the fight
is in caI tiVity in a small room on 7

colored. Its eyes are small and bead

EMPHATIC DENlALS
In Belfast of Story That Miss Colby
and Or. Stevens are Together.

Belfast, Me, Nov. 1O.-Both the pa
rents of Miss Alma Colby and the wife
Of DR.. John Stevens of Belfast, emphat-
ic;tlly deny the report that Miss Colby
and DR.. Stevens, who left Belfast on
the same day, last July. are together.
Rumor had it that Miss Colby, who
was one of til" most attractive young
women of Belfast, disappeared from
her home in July and that her pro-
loneed absence has much alarmed her
parents 1t mas been stated that fears
were entertained that she had been
made the victim Of foul play. as for
several weeks not a single word had
b. vn heard from her
In connection with the disappearance
Of Miss Colby, DR.. John Stevens name
has been mentioned from time to time.
DR.. Stevens, who was about 80 years
of age, came here from Bangor a few
wears ago and settled. He was married
and had one son. The air of domestic
happiness seemed to pervade the Stew
ems home Both DR.. and Mrs. Stevens
were much liked in the community.
The doctor built up Il good practice and
was very successful.
Miss Colby was graduated from the
Belfast High school in 1902 and since that
time, until she left here last July, had
been employed by different firms rs book
keeper.
Friday morning q reporter interviewed
the parents of Miss Colby and they stat"
that they know where their daughter is;
that she has an excellent position rs
bookkccper and that they hear from her
twice Il week, having received their last
letter on Monday. They refuse, however,
to make known her whereabouts.
Mr.. and Mrs Colby are much disturbed
over the rumOrS which are afiOat Ill re-
gard to the disappearance of their daugh-
ter They claim that they have known
where she has been all the time, and the
connection of her name with the dress
suit ease mystery is absurd.
Mrs. Stevens. the wife of Dr. Stevens.
was also interviewed and she says that
tor is, she hears from him regularly, his
letters coming through a Mr.. Sawtelle of
Boston She has an idea. that he is in
the West. Color is lent to the belief that
DR. Stevens is in the West by the fact
that he is q brother to Congressman Ste
vens of Minnesota.
From both families it is learned that
Miss Colby and DR.. and Mrs. Stevens Left
Belfast on the same train last July. DR..
Stevens stated that he was going to New
York to take a post graduate course in
one of the hospitals; Mrs. Stevens was
going Ito Windsor Me, to visit relatives;
Miss Colby was starting for Il visit in an
other part of Maine.

Harry NJ. Wiltshire. :

Portland, Me. Nov. 1O.-No argu-
ments were made in the divorce libel
of Mrs. Julia Wiltshire against Harry
NJ. Wiltshire OF Gorham, which has been
on trial be fore Judge Whitehouse in
the supreme court for two days. After
. hearing the evidence of the defence re-
lating to the domestic TROUBLES Of the
couple, Judge Whitehouse, this morn
ing, said IN granting the divorces to
Mrs. Wiltshire, that it was evident that
the couple was mismated and that it
would be impossible for them TO live
happily together. For that reason he
would grant the divorce, but Mrs. Will
shire's conduct did not entitle her to
alimony. Both We're from good fami-
lies but were unsuited to each other.
He gave the custody of the child to the
mother and ordered the father to pay
50 a week towards its support. Mrs.
Wiltshire asked for $1,000 alimony. Judge
E,noch Foster appeared for Mrs. Will
shire and Attorney Lyons of Westbrooll
for Mr.. Wiltshire.
