Riddeford Journal: An East Sebago
hunter having shot and killed bob
cat on Standish plains, some of our
State contemporaries are now assum-
ing that the mystery OF the deer killing
on Little Sebago lake, at one time sup
posed to be the work of wolves, is sat
isfactoriiy explained. But is it: Ger
tainly bobcats have been known to
kill deer, but so far as we know they
have never been known to follow and
kill then, in the open. The wildcats
method of attack is to drop from
some overhanging tree branch upon
their quarry, and even then there are
few if any, authenticated cases where
they have killed full-grown deer, I'M
less the animal had been previously
wounded and was weak from loss of
blood. On the whole, the killing of the
bobcat does not explain the Little Sc
bago tragedy to the entire satisfaction
of those who are acquainted with the
habits of the cat.

FINANCE AMI
COMMERCE
Wall street.

New York, Dec. The violen.
speculative movement in the Rock
Island securities which broke our
yesterday, continued in the early deal
ings today and threw the market into
some turmoil. There was notable
subsistence of the extreme when the
authorized statements were made of
the financial operation about which
the speculation centered followed by
q violent break in prices at the end
Of the day. The comparison Of these
official statements with tht rumors
which had preceded them disclosed
SO much of exaggeration Of distor-
ton of the rumors that there was a
disposition to hesitate about follow
ing a leadership in the market found
cd on such motives. Tint tone of the
market thereupon fell into unscttle-
ment and there was n notable CON
traction in the dealings. Assertions
were published over night that the
~ I-DlliS dllu Cttl FRANCISCO DttltS
had been sold to the amount Of SIS
100000 sufficient to provide for all
maturing obligations of the company
falling due this year and next and to
furnish resources beside for extensive
projects in contemplation. These re-
ports pointed to the banking house
which usually acts for the Hartman
interests as the source of this fnan-
cial assistance and the inference was
broadly conveyed that association for
mutual advantage between the Harri-
man and Rock Island systems was
To be assumed as a consequence.
Speculative enthusiasm after rushing
into the market during the first hour
was somewhat dampened by the for
nal statement Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co..
the Union Pacific bankers, that they
had withdrawn from the st. Louis
ana San Francisco financing which
had been taken over by Speyer 4 Co..
who have acted in Rock Island nnanc-
ing on previous occasions. The Incl
dent was regarded as involving some
show OF friction rather thar an ap-
p~roachment of the financial groups
concerned. The secondary effect on
speculative sentimtnt was harmful ,
rather than beneficial. Rumors were :
also circulated Of a project for the :
formation Of a holding company to :
bring the various Gould properties :
into closer relations. This also metz
with disclaimers from authoritative \
