SHEEP RAISING N MAINE
should BE Profitable business TN
q small Scale.


ayes, SEQ no reason Why sheep raising
should not ne profitable In Maine on =
/ small SCALE said Charles II. Merrill, Of
Bangor, former extensive sheepman In
/ Montana. .srhe average farmer In certain
sections OF the state ought TO be able 10
raise them TO good advantages. with tbs
prices OF lamb aud mutton as they are to-
day ana the wooi selling around 10 CENTS
a pound, there ought TO be fair profit "a
the business"
Mr.. Merrill at one time wintered as
many a. 5000 head OF shsep Ia st. Paul,
where they were shipped from his ex-
tensive ranch in Montana. bat disposed
OF his sheep few years ago and instead
has some 500 head OF cafIie on his 6.ono
acres in the eastern part Of tire state.
The taking up Of the fres ranges in tnHt
section by settlers has CENTRALIZED sheep
business ss IL was conducted twenty five
OF thirty years ago. and he holds TO the
opinion that the government has made a
mistske in opening up for settlement so
much land best suited for pasiursge and
needed az a free range IL the wool and
meat demands OF this coantry are to be
met at home.
Mr.. Merrill was for tweEsy-six years In
the West, but like many another Maine
man, he has come back to enjoy his
mature years In his native State. tie siill
manages his ranch from q distance, with
occasional visits there.
Some two years ago last spring, asso-
ciated with c, e. Libby. of Burnham, he
brought to Maine consignment OF 100
Indian ponies which had been gathered to-
gcther from the Blmckfoot Indian res
ervatioa by Fred Guard, young red man
of that trise, who bad formerly lived with
Mr.. Merrill at his ranch. and spent one
season in Maine with Mr.. Libby At Burn-
ham.
These ponies are descendants Of the Wild
horses which formerly roamsd the plains
of the West, but these had bern bred by
| the Indians and trained by them. They
would weigh from 600 70 p0o pounds, and
are tough and wiry as well rs docile aud
generally useful. These ponies found n
ready sale in Maine, and number OF
them Are new owaed in aud sround Fort
Fairfield. Several got into the hands OF
the smaller town livery stables. and g
! span could be depended upon to pull the
average drummer and his trunks over
roads FOR long distances without mibding
/ the hard drives dag after day.
! But TO return TO sheep, sfr. Merrill,
during his stay in the West saw the prices

.THICAGO. Sept 20.-Remember
Y James Edward Britt, of San
Francisco, and Oscar Matthew
Battling Nelson, of Hegewisch, when
they were two of the greatest light
weights this country ever turned out q?
Yes? It was only ten years or so ago
at that. Well, what do you suppose
they did last week? Wen tell you.
Mr.. Britt, actor, did a vaudeville turn
at Mcvicker's. Mr.. Nelson helped his
sister can fruit in their Hegewisch
kitchen mornings and afternoons In
the evenings he came downtown
to applaud when his once hated ring
rival told a good story from behind
the footlights. They are friends to-
day, even as they were when punch
ing each other with might and main
In battles that meant fame and for

Britt dropped in to see us the other
afternoon. James Edward Is CRAVING
about the temples now, but the old
fighting spirit is still there. His eyes
snapped as he talked over the good
old ring days. He's a smart chan He
has been abroad often, dresses in the
height OF fashion and none who does
not know him takes him for the ia -
nous coast lightweight of a decade
ago. We asked him why he did not
look up his old friend, the Battler. and
James Immediately got busy on the
telephone.
They met In The Examiner Office by
appointment, talked over their four
battles (they Travelled 6S rounds In
AID, and posed for some interesting
pictures, They are still a pair of
pretty tough fellows and no doubt
there are lightweights trying to get to
the front to-day whom either of them
can trim in Jig time.
Old Time Rivals Copverse.
Their conversation while posing FOR
the camera man was interesting in
deed.
When they shook hands and the
cameras clicked, Britt remarked:
But, we've done this same thing
often before for the picture men, but
never with citizens clothes on -Four

and you may stand anywhere you
please"
Britt and q. Nelson went twenty
rounds in their first fight in san
Francisco and James was given the
decision. Nelson, under Billy No
lan'S management, stopped Britt in
eighteen rounds on their second start
at Colma- In the third bout in San
Francisco, Britt won the decision aft
er twenty rounds. The last time they
stepped ten rounds without A de-
cision at Los Angeles, and Nelson
was given the popular verdict Britt
could not make weight in the South
ern California climate.
"Beefsteak Punch" Talked About.
Britt reminded Nelson of how si,k
the Battler got in the third battle,
after which the Battler claimed
beefsteak upset him. But admitted
he got a licking that time, and Britt
offered to illustrate the 'beefsteak
punch" for us. 1t is nothing more
than a good left hook, a delivery at
which Britt was an ade-+.
Then James Edward showed how
the Battler used to whale him in
the clinches, using both hands and
his head ct the same time, and the
Dane displayed the blow with which
final combat a right to the stomach
which started with Jim's left.
They were a pair of great ring
men in their heydey They botn
fought Joe Cans, Terry McGovern,
Young Corbett and the best in the
land at the time They will go dowa
into history as two of our most "a
nous lightweights. Britt was recog-
nized as white champion until Mel
son beat him at Colma, and Nelson
afterward won the worlds champion
ship from Cans.
Neither one of them AIRED much for
Cans. In their third battle, which
was not long after Cans won from
Nelson on a foul at Goldheld Cans
sat near BIRTHS corner and was
coaching the coast star. Britt was
winning, he knew how TO fight Mel
son, and he did not want Cans 10
get any OF the credit.
Cans Squelched by Both.
When Nelson heard Cans shouting
advice to Britt he ducked into a
Clinch in the Britt corner and yelled
at the colored man:
After l get through whipping this
| dude you climb in here and l will
| trim you, too"
Then Britt turned on Cans:
IT know how to fight this fellow,
Mind your own business"
So Cans got It from both sides,
even though trying to help Britt.
Nelson and Britt are both pros
porous. They are two boxers who
became smart financially before they
quit the game. Neither viii ever need
a benefit
