Another Moose Tran.

Another death trap for moose, similar to
that at Casebottle heath, in the town of
Waltham, has been discovered in Tren-
ton woods. This is a slough hole
in q meadow or heath on the Joseph
Smith homestead lot, about three quarters
of mile from the Trenton road.
Two years ago, during the moose hunt
ing season, Henry Smith discovered bull
moose caught in this hole, which was
making Intellectual efforts to get out. He
shot the moose, and found it necessary to
cut up the carcass to get it out Of the hole.
A few days ago Mr.. Smith, hunting in
the same vicinity, discovered the bodies of
two moose which had some time within
the past two years got caught and perished
in the hole. He notified L. F. Giles, who
wrote the fish and game department,
which notified Came Warden Shea to have
the hole covered so that no more moose
would be caught in it. This will be done
this winter, probably by laying logs
across the hole which is long and narrow.
At Casebottle heath the hole was closed
up by telling several trees so that their
tops fell across the hole.

Former Trenton Man Killed.

EAST LAMoINE, Nov. q Especially = Mel
son L. Young died Thursday, Nov. 16, at
Everett, WASH, from injuries received by
fall from an electric light pole. Mr..
Young was doing some work on the wires
when it is supposed he received slight
electric shock which caused him to fall.
He died few hours later of internal in
juries.
Mr.. Young was superintendent of sever
al electric plants, and while his duties did
not require him to do any linework; where
there was any danger, he would frequently
go himself instead of sending one of his
men.
Before going to Everett, about three
years ago, he was superintendent OF the
electric light plant at Quincy Point, Mass,
and later at Millinocket.
Mr.. Young was the son of Melita and
the late Wilson Young, of Trenton. He
married Miss Myra Young, daughter OF
MIR. and Mrs. Dyer Young, of Lamoine
He was very bright, energetic young
man, and of excellent morals.
He is survived by wife, three small
children, mother, two brothers-David
and Alfred, all of Everett; and three sis
ters-Mrs. Julia Googins, of Everett, Mrs

FOUR DROWNED.
TRAGEDY AT GREEN LAKE WILL
NEVER BE EXPLAINED.
SHERIFF WEBSTER, DEPUTY SHERIFF
FINN, JOSEPH CLoUGH AND AR
THUR CoLsoN THE VICTIMS.

THUR CoLsON THE VICTIMS.
Sheriff John E. Webster, Deputy Sheriff
Edwin T. Finn, Joseph D. Clopgh and
Arthur E. Colson, all of Ellsworth, were
drowned last Wednesday in lower Green
lake. The exact circumstances of the
tragedy will never be known. There
were no eye-witnesses. The most plausi-
bic theory, ana that generally accepted,
is that the officers in one boat were upset,
the other two men attempted rescue and
shared the fate of the sheriff and his
deputy.
The people of Ellsworth were stunned
by the tragedy, though the full extent OF
it dawned upon them gradually. The fact
that Sheriff Webster and Deputy Sheriff
Finn were missing was not generally
known until Thursday afternoon. They
left Ellsworth for Camp Comfort, lower
Green lake, Wednesday forenoon between
and o'clock, intending to return the
same afternoon. Mrs. Webster, who re-
turned Wednesday afternoon from visit
of several weeks in Massachusetts, gave
the alarm early Thursday morning, and
quiet search was instituted for the men.
As further facts became known, alarm
increased. The theory that the men were
lost in the woods was secuted as absurj,
Deputy Sheriff Finn being an experienced
woodsman and familiar with that particu
lar section. A visit to Camp Comfort
where Clough and Colsen had been stop
ping, disclosed the fact that these men
also were missing, that the camp appar-
emily had been hurriedly left, and there
were no boats on the shore. The theory
that the officers had met with foul play
was quickly abandoned.
By nightfall Thursday it was generally
believed that all four men had been
drowned, and the finding Of Deputy
Sheriff Finn's body, Clough's hat and
an overturned boat Friday morning
brought full realization Of the tragedy.
FACTS AS KNOWN.
During the week preceding the accident,
Sheriff Webster received word from John
Thornton, of Bangor, that his camp on
the railroad shore Of upper Green lake
had been broken into, and some bedding
and other articles stolen. Sheriff Webster
met Mr.. Thornton at Green lake Friday,
and visited the camp. It was there sug-
gested that Clough and Colson, who were
occupying the old Camp Comfort on the
lower lake while cutting hoop poles,
might know something about it, or give
some information, and the sheriff decided
upon visit to Camp Comfort.
1t was originally planned to 60 with
Harry w. Haynes to Uneeda Rest camp
on the western shore OF the lake, and &c
by boat from there to Camp Comfort,
Wednesday morning, the day set for the
trip, Mr.. Haynes advised against going by
way OF Uneeda Rest, telling the officers
the wind was so high it would be impos-
sible to cross the lake in small boat.
Thereupon the omcers decided 10 go Dy

TAKING A LOOK BACKWARD
Picture of Life Upon Our Atlantic
Shore as II Was Two Centuries
Ago.

Brush away the fog of a couple of
centuries, and take a look at this, our
native land, as it then appeared. Here
upon tie Atlantic shore, the scream OF
the panther arose on the midnight
air with the savage war whoop, and
the pale-faced pilgrim trembled for
the safety of his defenseless home.
He planted his beans in fear and gath
cred them in trouble; his chickens
and his children were plundered by the
fee, and life itself was in danger OF
leaking out from between the logs Of
his hut, even if it was fortified with
three muskets, spunky wife, and n
Jug of whisky. Yes, my friends, this
was then a wild, gloomy and desolate
place. Where the Indian squaw
hung her young pappoose upon the
bough and left it to squall at the
hush-aby of the blast, the Anglo-Saxon
mother now rocks the cradle of her
delicate babe on the carpet of peace.
and in the gay parlor of fashion. The
wild has been changed to a blooming
garden and its limits are expending

HIS REASON is RETURNING
Insane Man, Formerly Member Of Ma

of Asylum.

A Chicago man with a large ac-
quaintance became insane within
year, and is now an inmate at state
asylum. One of his friends telephoned
the hospital the other day to find out
about him.
Hes the happiest man here" said
the doctor, "and look for his cure.
He is getting big and strong and
ruddy and he is doing wonders for IL
other patients.
"In conversation with him, found
out that he had been in the National
Guard, and asked him how he would
like to drill company. Fine he
said. So l got him a uniform and a
sword and gave him Cancelled beer
stamp for a commission.
"In good weather he marches those
IL men all over the grounds as If
he were the marshal of an army on

interested as he and Keep step proud

Their physical condition is perfect,

sTRYcHNINE POISONING IN DOGS

When the house deg comes home
acting very strangely and frothy sa
liva driveling from the mouth, there
are number Of things to be consid
cred. Most people think first OF
rabies and secondly of poisoning
Since both are very common the gen.
cral public should be enlightened in
regard to them.
Rabies can not he easily dag.
nosed, but strychniIe poisoning
should be readily recognized by any.
one.
The first symptoms Of strychnino
poisoning appear in frcm fifteen to
sixty minutes after the drug has been
administered, if it is carefully hid
den in large piece of meat it may
be an hour CT more before any
symptoms appear.
At first the animal acts extremely
nervous, it cannot stand still and
constantly lifts it's feet as if the
floor We're hot Rapidly the muscles
become stiff ard the deg assumes G
position resembling saw-buck, next
spasms appear and last for n few
seconds, then the muscles will par
TALLY relax and the animal will be
able to breathe more freely.
Spasms will recur more and more
frequently until death results.
What can the owner do for the
patient until tie doctor arrives? In
the first place, do not waste valu-
able time trying home remedies be-
fore calling professional aid. Minutes
a.:e precious in cases OF strychnine
poisoning.
Lard, cream and all such agents
are absolutely Of no value and the
animal is only annoyed by attempts
to administer them. The only house
hold remedy that can be of value is
mustard, and it is ordinarily too
slow in action to accomplish any
good. A teaspoonful in cup of
table spoon. Other remedies are
useless and are consequently worse
than nothing. The doctor can pro-
duce vomiting in less than fifteen
minutes or wash out the entire in
testinal tract.
There is no danger of the animal
biting and absolute quiet is good
treatment. III. Z. klNGMAN,
