Ezra Gregg of Stowe, an old forty

a deer in Stowe yesterday, shooting a

a trip to the gold fields in California some
sixty years ago. When the other me m |
bers of the party arrived at the spot, Mr. |
Gregg had placed the buck across stump |
and the process of bleeding was being |
done in true frontier style. Although |
having partially lost the sight of one eye,
Mr.. Gregg has not forgotten the game as
was played in 40.

of black cats and JACKIE lanterns. Guess
ing contests and games furnished amuse-
ment, the winners of the contests being
Raymond Ellis, who guessed the nearest
to the number of kernels on an ear of

ers and Ollie Bedell, who guessed the
nearest to the number of black cats in
the rooms. Other features were march
ing, the appearance of witches and the
serving of refreshments.
