Fishing in the lakes in the Katah-
din Iron Works region is unusually
good this season. E. J. Kerr caught
seven large trout in Big Houston
pond the other day and over 100 fish
were taken from that pond, which is
restricted to fly fishing, last week.
There are ten fishermen at Lin P.
Moore's camps at Big Houston pond,
and all of them have been bringing
home large strings. The fish are Bit
ing especially we'll in both West and
East Chairback ponds
Mrs. S. S. Woodman of Pittston has
a fushia grown in two years from a
slip that is now 1-S feet in height
and bearing about 200 buds and bios
SONS. Forty are in full bloom and
over 100 are either nearly blossomed or
so large as to be fully colored and
about half hundred buds. 1t is
beautiful sight.
The following story comes from
Pittston with assurances of it's truth
fulness. A widow living in East Pitts
ton having purchased a fine pig few
weeks ago and later seeing another
fine specimen, decided to have two of
her own to occupy the same sty. The
turn
younger than the other porker and
when put in the pen seemed to cause
the eldest much annoyance. The lat
ter seemed bent upon the destruction
of the latest arrival. Everything
available was done and still the war
fare continued. What should the own
er do? What could she do? Armed
with pair of plyers she proceeded to
the sty and extracted the teeth that
had lacerated the younger pig so bad
ly. Since then peace reigns and both
the pigs are progressing finely.
A good stiff Jail sentence should be
all ready for the chap who cut up the
piece of malicious mischief last Sat
urday near the New Meadows land
ephone wire, looped and tied to a
brick over the high tension wire of
the Electric Road, holding up the ser
vice for about two hours in the bust
est part of the day between Bath and
Lewiston. L. A. & w. detectives are
at work on the matter.
Richmond seems to have been dry
for some time, obliging the very few
in that burg who use liquor to de-
pend on artificial stuff. judging by the
contents of the suitcase taken with
a man who was suspected of peddling
liquor in that town Deputy Sheriff
Bullock made the arrest and found in
the suitcase the drugs used in making
whiskey and some bottles already fill
ed with the vile stuff.
A wonderful case of memory was
shown by a dove the other day at
Bath A former resident, D. II. Lea
witt, who has for a few years been
in Portland, is visiting his son in Bath.
When he formerly resided there he
took much pleasure in feeding doves,
they becoming very tame and respond
ing to his whistle He always carried
a pocket full of corn and had small
army of bird friends. While walking
along Center street Monday morning
he recognized one of his bird friends
and whistled to it The bird instant
ly recognized the sound and made
straight for Mr.. Leavitt's shoulder,
seeming to be perfectly aware of his
identity and very glad to see him.
Portland is infested to such an ex-
tent by sneaktheves that a person
must almost have. his suitcase, trav-
cling bag or even hand bag chained
to him to save it from these unus-
ually active and expert gentlemen.
