BIG BULL MOOSE FROM THE NOhIhEhN
WOODS MAKES HIS APPEARANCE AT
AN OXFORD COUNTY SUMMER Re
SORT.
II can no longer be truthfully said that
there are no Bull Moose at Paris Hill.
We've seen the "critterp Not the po-
litical Bull Moose but the real thing.
Whether he was around looking up his
usmesakes, or wished to indulge in the
sports of the Paris Hill Country Club, or
had Just drifted OFF his circuit was not
ascertained; but he called on Us and was
a big fellow as a half dozen perfectly
sane and sober citizens can testify under
oath.
It was last Tuesday morning at about
seven O'Clock when several residents OF
the village of Paris Hill who had started
out in the direction of South Paris dis
covered a very large Bull Moose in one
of the fields west of the highway on the
edge of the village. The animal did
not appear frightened, even when 20 a,
tomobile came along, and the occu laa.s
of the car were given an opportunity to
look him over for about ten minutes.
He is described as about as big as a
iage work horse with very large spread.
ing antlers and a handsome animal TO
look at. After satisfying his curiosity
regarding the visitors he trotted easily
of into the LOT west of Hillside Gene
terry and was last seen travelling 10 q
southwesterly direction back of the
apple storage house in U. II. Heald's or
cbards.
1t is also learned that the same ami
NAL made his appearance earlier in the
morning on the farm of Sewell Rowe,
about mile southeast of Paris Hill
coming near this buildings, where hs
was seen BY several people
Coming from the Rowe farm to the
point where he was seen by the Pari,
Hill people he must have crossed at OF
very near the south end of the new Paris
Hill golf links, thus giving some weight
to the suggestion that he had a sporting
disposition and curiosity to see how
the game was played.
His mooseship was evidently informed
as to the Maine game laws for he exhib
tied no fear of losing his life at this sea
