Three foreigners precipitated riot
in Monument square at Portland Sat
urday evening which required nine po-
lice officers and crowd of citizens to
1uell. The foreigners first began fight

called for assistance. and eight other
patrolmen came to his aid They
could not handle the dsturbers and
had to call on citizens to assist them.
A crowd of several thousand people
gathered in the square to witness the
fight, in which many outsiders became
involved before the originators of the
trouble were hurried away in Z patrol

Friends of Lieut.. Robert L. Peary
the Arctic explorer, state that he has
quietly bought up islands in Casco bay
until he has the title to Is of them
1t is said that, when he returns from
the Arctic again. he will devote his
time to the development of these is
lands. which are worth a large sum.
One one of them. Basket island. the
plan is to erect q large summer hotel
of the exclusive kind. Another plan is
to raise EsquimauX dogs. In fact he
has already gone into the business to
some extent. He now has about so of
these animals on the different islands.
For the pups he easily gets $50, and
so the business is a paying one. He
has the finest specimens of these ami
mails in this country.
