Wolves in Canaan?

Perley A. Emery Of Canaan. an ex-
perienced guide, has written the COM
missioners of inland fisheries and
game about some strange animals that
have been seen in the woods in the
northern part of the town Of Canaan.
Emery begins his communication by
saying that deer are not as plentiful
as they were two months ago and
states he believes they have been done
away with, driven out or killed. by
some yelping beasts which frequent
the woods in the vicinity OF his home
He writes that he first thought the
animals were dogs as they barked
like a pack Of young hounds. but la
ter findings cause him some doubt and
he asks the commission what the ami
mails are. Only once have they been
seen; they are. he says, of grayish
yellow color and run with head and
.ail down. They are about the size of
shepherd dogs.
dispatch printed in Friday morn
ing papers states the belief that
wolves have been killing large num-
bers of deer in the Moosehead region
Mr.. Emery is wondering If there are
wolves in the Somerset county town
from which he writes. Canadian TIM
Der contains wolves but 1t is generally
stated that wolves have long since
departed from Maine forests. The wolf
OF Canada is Of a grayish yellow col
or, and it IL the habit Of the wolf to
stink along with bead and tail down.
Wolves do not bark like dogs. how
ever, except when tanned in capacity
under which conditions they often
emulate the bark Of their nearest OF
kin. the dog. The timber wolf makes
himself a terror by night with q pro-
longed howl, but does not bark, and
habitually rests by. day.

me Public Utilities Commission orders:
That this Commission approve the
granting to the Good Samaritan Home
of Bangor, Maine, of service by the
petitioner at the rate of 81 90 per year,
said rate being less than its regular
rates"
The complaint Of DR.. Robert ]. Alley,
president of the University Of Maine,
charging that the Maine Central Rail-
road Disseminated in favor Of the
musical festival in the matter Of rates
| to patrons. as between the rates grant
ed for the festival and the rates for
the teachers convention, appears to
have a basis OF fact but is readily ex-
planned. 1t seems that the railroad has
on file in its tariffs a regular rate Of
reduction for conventions and to these
rates it must conform in selling tick
cts for the conventions in all points in
the State. Should the railroad make
an exception in the case Of the teach
ers' convention, not only would it be
called upon at once to make q similar
exception for other conventions but
it would be indeed discriminating.
The musical festival is not con-
ventiop: it is quite in class by it.
self Furthermore. the railroads and
hundreds Of other interests in the
State have worked together to try to
insure the permanency of the festival
by making it successful and for many
years a special rate has been granted
the festival patrons, which was this
year again allowed after much dis
cussion and conference. 1t seems then
that, If the railroad has made any mis-
take, it is not that 1t did not give the
proper reduction to the teachers con-
vention, but that it gave a too large
reduction to the musical festival pa
irons. The Public Utilities Commis-
sion evidently thinks that the musical
festival and the teachers convention
should in the future be treated alike
in the matter Of reductions in fare.
however: Chairman Cleaves says that
in his opinion the convention is pro-
ductive Of more lasting educational
values than the festival.

FORMER PRINCIPAL
SHOOTS SIX MEN

When party called TO serenade w.
F. Burger and his bride II their home
at Osseo last Saturday night, Burger
opened window and fired both barrels
Of . shotgun in the direction Of the
noise-makers. Their noise ceased sud-
denly and Burger, thinking his efforts
to scare them away had been success
full, went back to bed.
When he and his bride went to church
next morning, they learned that six
men had been wounded by the shots he
had fired. two Of them seriously. Mr..
and Mrs. Burger were prostrated as
all Of the men were friends Of theirs.
Burger intended to fire over the heads
Of the party he says, but he evidently
failed to take into account that the
road they were standing on was on
considerably higher ground than that
on which the house stood. His story
is accepted by all.
Mr.. Burger was principal Of the
L'Anse school part of the term last
year.

Merchant Prince WEEDS.

Word from Chicago received Thurs
day conveys the information that David
Levitan, one Of L'Anse's popular dry
goods merchants, was welded Tuesday
evening at $50, to Miss Eva Natelson
Of Chicago. in the presence Of large
number Of relative and friends.
After an elaborate wedding dinner
at the home Of Harry Levitan, brother
Of the groom, the entire party took an
auto excursion around the city until q
very late hour, after which the bridal
couple disappeared, They are ex-
pected to arrive in L'Anse in few q
days at the latest, where they will be
given hearty reception. In the mean
time, we hope that they have not been
kidnapped or met with some foul play,
for the manner Of their disappearance
leads one to this supposition.
The SENTINEL joins in extending best
wishes to the bride and groom.
