letter states that Crocker has announc-
ell to several witnesses that he shall
II continue 20 hunt deer with dogs ard
| that if the warden kills the dog he will
fix the warden. Warden Spaulding Is
not of the kind that scares easily anH
as he states in the letter that he Will
i kill the dog if he finds him chasing
deer and will also take the man. it

thing doing up in that section of Maine
