SWIFT CREEK
MYSTERIES

There are some mysterious do
lngs up Swift Creek, or in the re-
gion up above the upper White
fish lake that has aroused great
deal of curiosity. It looks as if
some one has discovered a rich
strike of gold in some of the
streams in that region.
Last Thursday two strangers
came walking in from the head
OF the lake and stopped at the
Lakeview hotel at Lakeside to
get information about the town.
In speaking with T. E. Leub-
ben, the proprietor of the hotel,
they stated that they had come
in from the Canadian border and
had prospected all the way down
Swift creek.
They didn't state that they had
found anything, but they wanted
to get big grub stake and a
camping outfit. Mr.. Leubben
had such an outfit and sold it them
including a couple of pans, such
as miners use in washing gold.
When they saw that Mr.. Leub-
ben had these in his possession,
they evidently thought that he
was a prospector too, and shut
up like clans and would tell him
nothing more. He told them
that ne knew there was gold
somewhere in that creek and
asked them where they had
found it. They told him, if he
wanted to know, to go out and
find in. After securing the
camping outfit they went up
town and secured a large bill of
groceries. Their whole outfit
cost them in the neighborhood Of
$3.50. said Mr.. Leubben. They
had him take their outfit to the
head of the lake, in his big
launch, where he landed them at
Swift creek, but couldn't get a
word out of them what they in
tended to do with it.
They hired Joe Werner's pack
horses and transported it all
themselves. They would allow
no one to accompany them, and
when they were thru with the
horses they brought them half
way back and Werner sent a
man out to bring them in.
Tradition has it that some
years ago there was considerable
prospecting done on Swift creek.
The story goes that one old
miner used to come in every lit
tie while with a bag of gold dust,
but he would never tell the spot
where he got it.
When he died he carried the
secret with him. It may be
that these men knew something
about it and have found the
place. 1t is evident that they
have something in sight up there
or they would not be taking a
big outfit like that with them
away up in the wilderness. Be-
fore they left they told Mr..
Leubben that they would require
his services again before very
long, because they were figuring
on coming back for a larger
grub stake that would carry them
thru the winter.
Tuesday Mr.. Luebben went to
the head of the lake to bring down
some of the men from the forestry
department, and of the prospectors
was there and came down, too. He
carried small sack that he claimed
contained some valuable ore which
he was taking away to be assayed.
Further than that he would say
nothing.
Everybody had good time at

THE BIG CANE SEASON.

Names big game season closed De-
cember 18th. The season has been rather
remarkable from the rush of out of State
hunters early in the season, and the I'M
usually big kill in the first few weeks.
while the best hunting later in the sea-
son saw comparatively few hunters in
the woods. For the past four weeks
most Of the killing has been by Maine
people, who wait until cold weather and
snow.
Hunting accidents have been compare
lively few. .f
The moose season, which closed on the
18th, stopped at the low record of 101 for
Bangor, equal to a total kill estimated
at from 300 to 400, with few of the big
animals which weighed 800 pounds and
over.
The kill of black bears has been small
er than usual, "a having been shipped
through Bangor and the total estimated
at about 100.
The season has been the best for part
ridges for rs years and many thousands
have been shot.
The demand for fur and the work of
hundreds of trappers in reducing the
number of foxes and wildcats which prey
upon the birds is assigned by many as
the reason for the abundance of birds.
Upon the whole it has been good season
for game in Maine, except for moose.

Q a ST0RlA
MONROE.


Mr.. Charles Tasker passed away last week,
aged rs years. His death resulted from re-
cent fall from the hay NOV in his barn. He
made a misstep while pitching hay and was
fatally injured. Much sympathy is expressed
for his wife and daughters. Miss Linda
Chase went to Orono last Friday to attend a
house party at the Theta Chi House, -. The
sale held by the W. C. T. U. December 18th,
was success in every way. The apron booth
was cleared very quickly, which prompted the
ladies' to have a larger number for next year.
Quite large amount was received at the ice
cream table. The ladies cordially thank the
public for their patronage. The quilt was won
by Mrs. 7. o. Shields. who guessed nearest to
the number of beans in bottle. The cradle
quilt was won by Mrs. Will Rogers. Mr..
Fred Tasker has been drawn on the jury to
serve for this town. =. Mr.. D. A. Nye, who has
been very poorly this winter. has not been as
well lately. :. Mr.. George Parker, who has
been i'll long time with stomach trouble, is
now dangerously sick. A trained nurse is car
ing for him. Mr.. Victor Durham and Miss
Mary Mason have gone to Pittsfeld to attend
the winter term at the M. C. L.. Master Fred
Palmer is at home from Hebron for Christ
mas vacation of two weeks. .. Mrs. Walter

FRONT OF HOUSE IS
SAWED OFF TO MAKE
WAY FOR TH0R0UGHFARE
When Raphael N. Nachmias Returns
Home He Finds Place Look
ing Like a Stage
Setting

When Raphael n. Nachmias returned
to his home on san Pedro street, be-
tween Requena and Jackson streets,
Yesterday he found the entire front OF
the house sawed off and the front walls
lying on the lawn, and the interior OF
the place exposed to the curious gaze or
passers by. Then he hurried TO the
office of Deputy District Attorney Har-
~ Alexander at the police station, ana
asked for complaint against a firm of
contractors.
Nachmias owns his home in that sec
tion of the street which recently was
ordered widened. He obtained per-
init to move his house back the re-
ouired distance in his yard but delayed
doing the work.
Yesterday the contractors in charge
of the work reached Nachmias' place.
No one was at home, so the contractors
did not waste time. They had no outht
for moving the house, and as the struc-
ture was about six feet over the line
the workmen sawed off the front of the
house until the building cleared the new
street
Nachmias appeared at what once was
his cozy home and found the front
view like that of house on the stage.
All the furnishings were exposed to the
view of the curious, and the building
was not fit for habitation.
Nachmias wanted a complaint against
the contractors for malicious mischief.
Alexander learned that the complain
ant had been notified to move the bouse
and had been allowed ample time. AS
the time limit expired Monday, the
complaint was denied.
