The charge to the grand jury by
Judge Haley was a lengthy one ex-
planning fully their duties as grand
jurors and of the great responsibility
upon each one individually At 1880
the grand jury filed to the grand jury
room where they were to choose by
written ballot foreman and duly
sworn. All jurors were then excused
by the court until A. M. Wednesday.
The balance of the day will be devoted
to reading of the docket and assigning
cases 1t is expected that the Sullivan
case will be taken before the grand
thought that indictments will not be
returned to the court before eight or
possibly 10 days, and that the case will
not be up for trial before December
first. This term promises to be one Of
the busiest ever held in Aroostook
county, there are four murder cases
penQlnB DeSlue many OtIcT Criminal
cases
The Sullivan tragedy is the main
case and will probably be handled
first.
The hair found by the two Boston
reporters in Dudleys automobile is
now regarded to be very important.
The report as to the analysis OF the
stomach has not been received, but
with evidence to be produced 1t IS
thought that this will not come up
for grand Jurors consideration.
The witnesses in Sullivan case be-
gan to arrive Tuesday. All those
summoned for the grand jury will be
ready to report at the grand jury
room Wednesday morning at nine
o'clock. Mrs. Sullivan, mother Of Mil
bred. will be unable to attend the
trial as her health will not permit. She
has been under such a nervous strain
for so many weeks her nerves are all
shattered. 1t would be unwise for her
to sit all day and listen to the case
as it proceeds and have to listen to
the horrors which are to be disclosed
at the trial. The public know con-
siderable about the case but as the
trial continues it is claimed on good
authority that many new and startling
disclosures are to be brought out. The
star witnesses for the State will be
Kate Michaud and Ambrose Bridge,
Mildred's sweetheart.

Dryden, Me-, Nov. 17.-Perley Fish
of No. is in town at the home of his
wife's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. G.
Rowland, with a handsome black bear
weighing about $50 pounds, which he
shot on West mountain in Weld, near
the No. line. Mr.. Fish started to
hunt deer and told his wife to keep the
little black dog, Psyche" in the camp
for while. After she was let out she
followed her masters track and soon
overlook him. They struck a bears
track and Mr.. Fish decided to follow
that as it was against the law to fol-
low deer with dogs. The dog ran ahead
of him and in about half an hour he
heard the dog bark up on the noun
tain. The man followed till he saw the
dog on a rock and big bear fighting
it. The bear struck at the dog twice,
first one paw then the other. Mr..
Fish waited till the bears head was
in good sight then fired twice. One Of
the shots took effect squarely between
the eyes, the other back of one ear.
The fell back, then crawled into her
den,s a distance of II feet. Mr.. Fish
got Ralph Stone to help him. They
went into the den and tied a rope to
the bears leg and dragged her two
miles, when they went for team and
carried her three miles.

Colby College.

The members of the Higgins Club
were entertained at the home OF Miss
Foss on Pleasant street Tuesday night.
Officers for the coming year were elect
ed and various business discussions for
the good of the club were talked over.
Several members Of the Alpha Tau
Omega Fraternity were present at a
very enjoyable party given by Miss Wi
mona Waldron at her home in Fairfield
Tuesday night.
In view of the general dissatisfaction
that prevails with the present methods
of election of officers and managers of
the Athletic Association. the athletic
council has suggested an amendment to
the article. contained in the constitution
governing all such elections, which 1t
hopes will do away with all unfair
methods, which have been SO prominent
in former elections.
Due to the poor showing of the cross
country team In the New England In
terconegiate meet, held In Boston last
Saturday. it is doubtful if Colby will
be represented in the big meet which
takes place at New Haven next, Satur-
day. However, Coach Cohn has. not al
lowed the men to break training rules
as yet, so If he finds it possible to take
a team to meet the big colleges the men
will be in condition.
