Much in the Public Eye.
Raisuli has occupied the public at
tention to q very considerable extent
during the last few years by his ~
gressive activity in Morocco, where,
besides carrying on q pretty constant
warfare against the sultan, he has
captured several foreigners OF promi-
nence and held them for ransom. He
has been described as the most pic
turesque foreign bandit Of modern
times.
Raisuli was native Of Zinatt, and
an ordinary farmer in his early life.
He took to brigandage some years
ago. He started BY making raids on
caravans in the Interior and later
moved his field Of operations to the
coast, where he would threaten the
ports. In October, 1906, he proclaim
ed himself governor Of Arzilla, and
two weeks later. was actually appoint
ed to that post by the sultan, who
always has stood IN considerable fear
OF him. It was then said that the
Moroccan foreign office was IN sym
'pathy with Raisuli political ambi-
tions, but foreign influences pre-
vailed and the sultan finally had to
send his minister 81 war against him.
His Noted Captures.
Raisuli first became prominent be-
fore the outside world by his capture
Of w. B. Harris, the Tangier CORE
spondent Of the London Times, whom
he released on payment Of a large
ransom. Next he seized Ion Perdica,
q native Of New Jersey, and this feat
was the occasion Of the dispatch of
United States squadron to the
Moroccan coast and the ultimatum,
"Perdica alive or Raisuli dead, which
caused great enthusiasm at the re-
publican national convention In Chi
cago which nominated Mr. Roosevelt
for president. IA ransom Of $4,000
was paid by the sultan Of Morocco
and Perdica was released.
Raisuli's last exploit that attracted
the attention Of outsiders was the
capture Of Sir Harry MacLean. an
Nmglishman IN the service Of the sui
tan Of Morocco, and his retention for
seven months. during which time the
prisoner was subjected to more or
less III treatment. Sir Harry was
finally released On the payment to
Raisuli Of ransom Of 100000 and
guarantee from the British govern
ment Of protection and immunity from
arrest.
Raisuli had many enemies ii his
own country.

woodsman and could not have mistaken
the man for the deer. Besides there
are four witnesses who have testified
to having seen the deer about 20 rods
beyond where the man was shot. Mr..
Skinner has always been man OF
good sound judgment, cool in action,
never needless or thoughtless, and no
one attaches any blame whatever to
him for the result of the unfortunate
occurrence. Everyone who is ac-
quainted with Mr.. Skinner knows that

Accident in Skinner, Me.

A very unfortunate accident occurred
at Skinner Me-, Thursday afternoon
at 80, when Senator c. S. Skinner
of this place, through an accident pure
and simple, unwittingly caused the
death of young man in his employ.
For some time the fires have been rag
ing very close to the tract of land
owned by Skinner & French; IN fact
about 200 acres Of their township has
been burned over. Men have for some
time been busily engaged fighting and
watching fires. Thursday two of the
men had gone down the railroad sever
al miles towards Holeb for the purpose
of watching the fires. Sometime dur
ing the afternoon one of the above two
men saw three deer not far from the
railroad, and Immediately came back to
the store to get someone to shoot one
of them. Mr.. Skinner and his clerk,
Walter Lewis. both hurried down, &C
companied by the man who had-report-
ed the deer. The three men on their
way down met two other men who
turned back with them and shortly To-
Gated the deer. They were in plain
sight. When within about 40 rods of
the deer Mr.. Skinner offered the rife
| to his clerk that he might take shot
at one of them. But the clerk said
that as he was not a resident of the
state, nor had a license, he would
make himself liable to arrest. So Mr..
! Skinner stepped down beside tele-
graph pole the better to sight his rifle
and fired at one of the deer, which
were in plain sight Of the five men
present. AS soon as he had fired they
heard cries, and fastening down found
a wounded man.. The bullet had struck
the man about IL inches below the
right shoulder, coming out on the left
breast, showing that he had been
crouching down, evidently watching
the deer. He was found just about
midway between Mr.. Skinner and the
deer. Immediate preparations were
made to carry the wounded man to thu
boarding house. but he expired on thu
way. The man before dying said h
realized that it was an accident, ant
exonerated Mr.. Skinner from al
blame. Mr.. Skinner Immediately sen
for doctor and notified the corone
and lawyer, and did all that was pos
sible in the matter. There IS absolut
proof that there were deer in sigh
and that the man was lying dow
watching the deer directly in line fror
where Mr.. Skinner shot at them. Tn
. four witnesses have told their stor
just as they saw it, the doctor, lawye
and coroner have all been, over tn
ground and they all pronounce MI
Skinner perfectly free from all blame
The young man was about 18 years {
age and lived near Lake Meganti'
He was single and had no near rels
