The Waterville Sentinel in its
campaign of mud and mirth. gets
around to Hon. W. T. Haincs and Hon.
Harold NJ. Sewall. It's editorials in
reference to these two Republican
candidates are both upon the mirth

last degree and fairly bristling with
misstatements SO palpable that they
require no answer. They will carry
about as much weight with thoughtful
people as Il toy balloon. The fact,

bee Dynasty should feel called upon
to indulge i'm such a riotous outburst
of Hub dub is certainly a compliment
to Mr. Haines and Mr.. Sewall.

Machias Union: Section Foreman
Richard Bergman experienced an adj
venture the other day that he is not
apt to forget. While near the Little
Machias. he saw a large bull moose
near the track, and in spirit of fun
started towards it. thinking that the
moose would turn and leave. Not so
Mr.. Moose. With name erect the moose
furlously charged Mr.. Bcrrymau
knocking him down and started to
stamp him. Before much damage was
done, however, Frank Godeau by
shouting and throwing stones had at
tracted the attention of the moose. Mr.
bergman then took to a tree. when
the moose turned again and charged
the tree. Godeau. too, hastily took ad-
vantage OF the lull to get to a place of
safety. The moose after keeping both
inc men freed for half an hour or so
got tired and left With the execution
OF some scratches and bruises to Mr..
Bergman no damage was done. An
attack by moose at this time of year
IS certainly remarkable.
