The morning train from Bangor Mon
day brought number of that apparent
ly inexhaustable supply of woodsmen
from that city for the lumber operations
on the Kennebec. Like the rest, the ma
jority of them had been looking on the
wine when it is red and it required the
careful ministrations of Patroiman Frost
to get them safely aboard the Oakland
train. The trainmen apparently leave the
fellows to their own devices and as they
are for the most part entirely too drunk
to know what they want to do it is neces-
sary for the patrolman to get them on
their train or have them get left and
have to remain over here "a hours.
