Mr.. and Mrs George P Aver of
Mayo street. Portland, returned Sun
day from the Maine woods after a
most enjoyable 10-days deer hunt.
They were very successful as they
brought home two deer each and a
bunch of IS partridge. Mrs. Aver is
one of the three Portland women to
return within a week with deer. She
brought down with her trusty rifle two
fine buck, one being a spike horn and
the other smaller deer. She is an ex-
pert rifle shot and delights in her an
nual hunt in the forests of Northern
Maine in company with her husband.
Mr.. Aver, who is an enthusiastic hunt
er,was favored with a freak buck, the
deer was a very large one and bore
eight points on the antlers which were
of very curious formation, causing
much comment as to the strange an
giles taken by the points

the Massachusetts Fish and Game
Commission at the State House, 1866
deer were killed last week during the

killed in the open season was 1854, or
500 more than last, week.

Holmes near East Pond, Friday, the
dog was attacked by large, male
fox which chased the dog to a distance
of three or four. rods from Mr. Gle
ment, relates Wayfarer in the Franklin
Journal. He discharged both barrels
at the fox, the last one striking him in
the neck, killing him instantly. This
reminds The Wayfarer of a story that
used to be told by the late Alexander
Hamilton Abbott. Mr.. Abbott said
that a man bought fox hound that
was highly recommended for the chase
and a few days after the purchase he
started out with his dog and gun. In
the course of the forenoon the dog

the owner had the keen satisfaction
of seeing the two animals far ahead
disappearing down the road. He hur-
ried on and after travelling for nearly
a mile he overlook a man on the road
and asked him If he had seen a dog
and a fox go by. Yes" said the man.
"And how was the chaser" asked the
anxious hunter. Well said the man
thoughtfully, Il should say the dog
was leetle mite ahead"

HOLMES IN COURT
AND ALL QUIET

Lewiston, Me-, Nov. 24.-Herbert e.
Holmes, the Lewiston attorney elected
from the municipal court Monday by or
der of Judge Brann because the lawyer
insisted on the court answering a ques-
ton before he filed a motion, came into
court Tuesday, filed the motion and de-
parted with no startling features.
Att. Holmes filed a petition that the
case against Harry Stein, adjudged gull
ty of non-support and ordered to pay
sl.50 week, be dismissed. Holmes has
been acting as the attorney for the State
by courtesy of the court.
Judge Brann had adjourned court and
was leaving the bench as Mr.. Holmes,
who was busy in conversation in the cor
ridor, rushed into the room.
Inquiry brought that the court had
adjourned but that the judge would hear
him. He filed his motion which was
taken under advisement. Everything
was pleasant although Mr. Holmes ended
the affair by remarking that ''as long
as I got justice in the court it was all
right, but when I get injustice then
things will be different"
The statement by Mr.. Holmes that he
would be in court again Tuesday morn
ing brought a large number and many
we're refused admittance.

ARMY HAS ITS
LAST SCRIMMACE

West Point, n. Y, Nov. 24.-The last
hard scrimmage work of the season is
scheduled for the Army football squad
this afternoon. The cold weather con-
tinues to hinder the practice, for the
field is frozen hard and the danger of
injury from falls and tackle is con-
siderable.
The coaches are driving the eleven
fast, however. The men were obliged
to work through the entire two hours
of practice yesterday wrapped in
heavy sweaters. The mercury stood at
16 degrees this morning.
The crippled players are rapidly re-
gaining their best condition and Half
hack Van leet is coming so fast that
it is lamost certain he will get into the
Navy contest. ELEPHANTS injured knee
is much improved and he, too, will be
in condition to play when the cadets
meet the middies next Saturday.
Trainer Tuthill has promised to have
Center McEwen ready for the big
game.

urday night. The act was staged near
Maysville. Constable w. H. Reed OF
Presque Isle was conducting to that
ran, arrested for alleged assault on
his step daughter. Curran was given
permission to visit the lavatory.
Thence, with the train going at 40
miles an hour, he jumped from the
car window and landed on the frozen
ground without doing himself enough
injury SO but he could run for the
woods, where he is now being pur-
sued by posse Of men.

worried about the delay of his charge
on forcing the door Of the lavatory
discovered the open window and the
absence of his man. The train was
stopped and run back everyone ex-
pecting to find Curran's dead body by
the tracks. On finding the man had
made good his escape, the train pro-
ceeded on to Pressure Isle, while the

According to a census compiled especial
ly for the Bowdoin Orient, of the stand
ing of the college athletes, it has been
found that the members of the various
teams in general attain a rank in their
courses higher than the average. This
speaks volumes in itself concerning the
high standard that the Bowdoin faculty
requires its athletes to maintain. As is
shown by the following figures only one
team fell below the average scholarship
of the college. 1t computing the stand
ing of the men the following basis has
been employed: A, from to 10. equals
4; B, from to 3, equals 8; C. from to

below 6, equals minus two. Following is
