Wild Bears on Maine Farm.

One of the sights of Augusta is the
wild boars which may be seen daily
roofing up the soil in the woods at
Charles A. Knowles farm on the
Bond brook road.
They are new arrivals and only a
few Augusta people have seen them.
but those few are willing TO believe
the stories of the ferocity OF the wild
boars in their native old world
forests.
The herd here is composed of young
animals, hut they are shaggy as no
body supposed a hog could be, and
their lean, active bodies and long
legs enable them to run like deer
Some of the local Nimrods have
shaken their heads omnously when
trying to calculate what would be the
chances of moving quickly enough to
escape injury from an infuriated, full
grown tusker.
They were brought here from the
Corbin park in New Hampshire by the
Hon Blaine S. Yiles, formerly of
SkOwhegan, one of the inland fish and
game commissioners of Maine, who
has been connected with the admins
tration of that famous park for sey-
eral years and is now its superin-
tendent. Mr.. Viles states that the
meat of the wild boar is esteemed a
delicacy, and is much in demand for
game suppers in New York and other
large cities.
AS they sometimes grow to weigh
600 pounds or more, the fence thai
was built to hold them at Augusta i.

bull strong and horse high" anC

trations of motor vehicles and opera
tors licenses expire Dec. 81 and the

annual registration of s. for auto
mobiles of 20 horse power and under,
$40 for automobiles between 20 and

made acquainted with the intentions
and purposes of this company, have

tives of the company, including
