Deputy Sheriffs Make Trip,
Wed, to Washington.
Joe Dyer and Forrest Knowles,
Alleged Burglars, Wanted.
Overs Little Son Taken on Com.
plant Of Mrs. Hunt, State Agent.

Because of the element of good luck
which seems to surround Joe Dyer, the
elusive, and his pal, Forrest Knowles,
both of whom are wanted for breaking
and entering in the daytime the resi-
dence of Benjamin Poole, in Windsor,
last April, the two made move, early
this week, that guaranteed them safe
ty for the time being whereas had
they delayed their move for day or
two the chances are that they would,
at this time, be behind the bars.
The two men have been keeping we'll
out of the way of the officers of the
law ever since the April episode. 1t
had been learned, however, that they
had been working out in the woods
to the eastward of Augusta, in Knox
and Lincoln counties, getting out ship
knees, and it was also learned that
within a few days Dyer had been in
Waldoboro and acting upon this in
formation Deputy Sheriffs Bullock of
Windsor and Jones of Hallowell made
a trip, Wednesday, over into WASH
ington and vicinity.
Because of the fact, as they learned
during the trip, that the two men had
left, Monday, for Richmond, p. O.,
their quest in that particular was I'M
successful, but they did succeed in
locating and bringing to Augusta,
Charles Dyer, the 11-year-old son of
Joe, also his sister, Clara, aged is
years.
The boy was taken at the instance
of Mrs Ada Hunt, State agent for
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children, the complain that
he is a neglected child and cruelty
treated by his father, and that Dyer is
not a suitable person to have the GUS
tody of a child. The boy and the girl
were found in the town of Washing
ton, and when the boy was brought to
Augusta the girl came along with him.
The two were given quarters, Wednes-
day night. at the police station, and
a hearing will be held in the case of
the boy, at 8 o'clock this (Thursday)
morning, at the municipal court.

New Basketball Team

kept officer Corbett and Deputy Marshall
Choate busy for a part of the game.
Cooper Stuart and now and then one OF
the other Augusta boys failed to just
agree with what the Badger brothers of
Pittsfeld considered their rights. and
proceeded to announce their disapproval
of said rights in a very emphatic and
somewhat violent rsanner.
This apparent Willingness to fight, on
the part of a few of the Augusta five
is to be very much deplored as draw
back to clean, honest sport. No doubt
more or less aggravation is offered by
the players of both fives. but too often
f1are-ups occur because of some trivial
matter and an evident desire on the part
of the player to appear big, bold and
brave in the eyes of an appreciative few,
which is greatly in the minority amongst
true lovers Of the sport. 1t behooves a
referee to disqualify any player who
starts a ''rought house" in any game.

Senators got busy and disployed team

goals. The inevitable result-Stuart to
Meader-a basket! Meader's record is
eight goals from floor and four from
fouls. total of 20 points. Both teams
were fast and the rooters were kept on
edge every minute. Meader's playing
easily featured for the Senators, while

Change. in Fish and Game Museur

OF one who has not visited the
State museum recently, the changes
Will at once catch the eye. First and
foremost of the exhibits is that of the
moose. which was finished only a
short time ago by Curator Thomas
A. James. Upon the background of
this exhibit the curator proved that
he is an artist of no mean merit, as
we'll as being an expert taxidermist.
The moose-and there are six of them
in the exhibit-appear to be hunting
almost in vain for some bit of shrub
berry.
The large collection of moths and
butterflies recently brought down from
the Department of Agriculture, has
been carefully classified and put into
cases, making very attractive ex-
hibit.
Curator James recently showed his
ingenuity in trans forming the hoofs
of deer into cute pin cushions. The
tees and heels of the hoof are polish
ed. and the inside of the hoof is filled
and covered with silk. And in about
the same way Mr.. James has pro-
duced attractive match safes from this
material.

MOSBY FLED WITH HIS MEN.
IAN Attack that Wholly Demoraiized
the Partisan Rangers.

Colonel John S. Mosby. commander of
the Partisan rangers, who gave such
dashing service In the southern cause.
told of an amusing incident in which
he figured. In the summer of 1861 when
General Phil Sheridan was in the valley
of the Shenandoah he found himself
much harassed by Mosby. who was con-
---tinually cutting off his supply trains. An
army cannot fight on an empty stomach,
and Mosby knew 1t. One bright morn
ing Mosby heard that long supply train
was winding it's way down the valley.
BY noon the rangers In the gray uni
forms were gathered at the forks OF the
valley pike, watching for the head Of the
wagon train to appear.
Presently a cloud of dust was seen
rising far up the road. and as the wind
blew 1t aside the Confederates caught
sight of line of men in blue escorting
a caravan of numbering wagons drawn
by mules Instantly Mosby gave the Or
der to run a little howitzer UP on the
side of a hill and unlimber 1t. AS soon
as the gun had opened fire the rest of
the men were to make cavalry charge
and throw the train into confusion.
The rangers jerked the gun into po-
sition and began to swab it out. Sud
denly the man with the swab gaA a
shrin yell, seized the seat OF his panta-
looms and fled down the hill and out in
to the road. Almost in the same moment
the other man at the gun abandoned IT.
He seemed to be fighting at the air as
he disappeared over stone wall
The suffers wagons We're creeping
nearer and Mosby did not know what to
think of such extraordinary conduct He
ordered four more men to the gun, but
hardly had they reached it when they
too, yelled, began to beat the air madly
with their hats and took TO flight.
Squirting his horse over the stone wall,
eMosby rode toward the gun, but his stay
was short. The howitzer stood just over
hornets nest. and those busy insects
were resenting the instrusion. They had
repealed the invaders on foot, and now
they swarmed on Mosby's horse till the
maddened animal tore off down the poke
on rum They had turned their atten-
,ytion to the rest of the troop
Their attack was so vicious that the
rangers gave up any idea of standing
by the gun. They scattered far and
wide, and 1t was an hour before they re-
turned. When they did the wagon train
had safely vanished in the distance, So
the hornets saved the day for Sheridan
