When his parents missed him and
gave the alarm fully two hundred
men and boys formed a volunteer
search party. All night they threaded
the woods with pine torches and
lanterns. As the hours passed his
parents became certain that the boy
had been drowned In one OF the num-
erous lakes around the park. At a
point in the woods nearly four miles
beyond the limits OF the park Mr.
Dobbs almost hopelessly raised his
voice in the oft repeated cry:
Valentine. o Valentine. Baby!

This time he heard faint cry and
he soon made his way to his son.

The child told how frightened he had

him.

MISS HOBBS SAYS KAY
CRITICISED FOOLISHLY

SALEM. Ore, July I4-Avowedly
indignant at the criticism from state
Treasurer Kay ana Attorney General
Crawford of her visit to the Tumalo
irrigation project, being constructed
by the state in Crook county Miss
Fern Hoggs, private secretary to
Governor West, returned home yes
terday and expressed her opinion O.
those officials for taking her to task
for something which she declares In
no way concerns them. She says she
is not an employe of the desert land
board and her trip had nothing to do
with that board.
This was her second visit to the
project and she gives an account OF
the progress of the work which she
says is to be entirely finished by Oc-
tober /. She walked the seven and
half miles of the main or feed ca
nal. into which the water has been
turned, and says the work is progress
ing on the dam and tunnel.
When Miss Hobbs left, state
Treasurer Kay ridiculing the idea OF
her trip, facetiously said that he in
tended to send his stenographer to
make an inspection Of the project, and
Attorney General Crawford declared
that he would not sanction the desert
land board paying the expenses of
Miss Hobbs trip.
II was very much surprised and
equally amused TO learn of the tenn
pest in teapot occacioned by my
trip to the TumalO irrigation project. .

day in reply to the criticism made by
State Treasurer Kay and Attorney
General Crawford.

Arthur A. Moran, employed at the Asa
Barron farm, Dollardtown, shot 200
pound black bear about a mile back of the
farm Saturday afternoon. The young
man was still-hunting for deer when he
| came upon the bear, sitting up. One bull
let just back OF the shoulder finished him.
Then, coming back to the farm, he got as
sistance to get the bear out, which was nc
easy job. Hung up in the barn at the
Barron place Sunday, the bear attracted
| many visitors. This is the first bear
killed within the limits of the city oi
Ellsworth for many years; in fact, THE
| AMERICAN has as yet been unable to find
! a man who remembers the killing of a
bear in Ellsworth, though they have been
seen here from time to time, and many
have been killed in neighboring towns.

HUNTING ACCIDENT.
Fred Shea Loses Eye, Struck by
Bird Shot.

Fred Shea Loses Eye, Struck by
Bird Shot.
An unfortunate hunting accident oc-
Cured in Ellsworth last Wednesday after
noon, by which Fred Shea, one of Els
worth's popular young men, lost his
right eye, being struck by bird shot fred
by his brother Charles. 1t was one of
those accidents to which any hunter is
liable, and for which blame can be at
tached to no one.
The young men were hunting near the
poor farm. Each had dog, and they
were some fifty or sixty yards apart,
screened from each other by the young
growth of birches. AS a matter of fact,
Charles supposed his brother had started
for home and was some distance away.
Charles flushed woodcock, which flew
toward Fred. Charles says the bird was
some fifteen or twenty feet in the air
when he fired, and this is borne out by
Fred, who says he could see the bird COM
ing toward him above the trees. This be-
ing the case, the only explanation of how
the shot reached Fred is that part OF the
charge was DETECTED by the trees.
Twelve shot struck Fred about the fore
head and eyes, one pellet destroying the
right eye, while two just escaped the left
eye. The fact that none of the shot struck
his cap or clothing bears out the theory
that it was part of DETECTED charge that
struck MIN, for if the charge had been
aimed directly at him, the shot would
have been scattered over wider area.
Fred hurried to his home, while Charles
went to the poor farm and telephoned for
a physician. The wounded boy was taken
the same afternoon to the hospital at
Bangor, where the right eye was removed.
He returned home Saturday, and is now
about again. With characteristic good
spirits, he counts himself fortunate to
have one good eye left.
