Yesterday was Il glorious one for the
candidates.
Az early morning the great triumphal
march of the balloters began, and the
votes that have been long accommodating
found their way to the great ballot box
in an incessant stream.
From every direction, from each
county in the four states, they came.
Hurrying and scurrying through the
mails until the storm grew into reg
ular tornado of ballots that piled the
scores up in numbers far in excess OF
the expectations of the Contest De-
partment, and all the while a constant
proc ocession Of men and women, children
and uniformed attendants OF different
business houses which have placed a
representative candidate in the field,
came. each with but one thought and
the inevitable question: Where can
| deposit my votes?'
Flushed with the Joy Of success the
candidates themselves were in much
prominence, each one seemingly deter
mined TO make good showing in the
initial announcement. Enthusiasm
seemed stamped on every ballot which

| In breeding sheep in Maine Somer-
set county takes the lead. The coun-

being raised. This part of the State

sheep, but sheep thrive on it. There
are a number of towns in the county
several miles from a depot that cut
a great deal of hay, and if the hay
| is hauled to the market the profit
| is very much reduced. The farmers
are now keeping sheep to eat the hay
and Frank King, one of the grade
sheep raisers in this vicinity, said
short time ago that by keeping sheep

at the rate of s25 per ton. This sys-

1897. is recalled anew by the placing
here of tablet to the memory of the
boy. Monuments already memorial
lied the heroines, but the lad Lenorson's
youthful bravery. quite unmentioned,
had previously been without mark.
The tablet is placed on tower at
Lake Park. marking the site of the
LenorsOn home. from which he was
stolen in 1859 by Indians 1t recites
briefly the facts of the boys con-
nection with the episode.
After two years of wandering in
captivity, he was with party of In
dams. which. on March 49, 1897,
massacred q men. women and children
at Haverhll. Thirteen captives were
taken. among them Mrs. Dustin and
Mrs. Neffe. who had been caring for
her and her newborn infant Pre-
pairing for their retreat, the Indians
dashed the babe against tree.
The aneuished mother nearly died
during the siX-weeks march through
the wilderness, but recovering strength
of mind and body. Mrs. Dustin re-
solved while the party was encamped
at Concord. N. H., to try an escape.
In the early morning of April 30. 1897,
the two women and the Lenorson boy,
vino had been set apart from the other
captives, armed themselves with tom
ahawks taken from their sleeping cap
tors and killed ten of them A suuaw
and boy alone escaped. To confirm
the story of their remarkable deliver

taken.
