SANFORD Man IS
CHARGED WITH
WOOD

Sanford, Me-, Oct. 31--Filando Porell
was bound over in the sum of 5000 for
his appearance at the January term of
the supreme court at Saco, after a
hearing this morning in Judge Tuck
ers court on the charge Of larceny of
10 cords of hard pine wood valued at
$40, the property of Edward Bernier.
Porell was represented by attorney &C.
Gil Siddell and the States interests
were cared for by Joseph PaQuin Of
Biddeford. 1t was brought out in the
testimony that Bernier missed this
wood some time ago. Suspecting Po-
rell he went to his home on the Leba-
non road and found the wood in his
dooryard resembling that taken from
his woodward. He said he could identi-
fy the wood because his woodlot had
been burned over and the wood found
in Porell's yard had been burned.
A second warrant was sworn out
against Porell. charging him with lar
ceny of cord and half Of wood from
ex Judge George w. Hanson. Attorney
Hanson represented himself on this
case. which was continued until next

Grant and Mark Twain.
(St. Nicholas)

1880 was a presidential year. Mark
Twain was for General Garfield and
made a number of remarkable speeches
in his favor. General Grant came to
Hartford during the campaign. and
Mark Twain was chosen to make the
address of welcome. Perhaps no such
address of welcome was ever made be-
fore. He began: Il am among those
deputed to welcome you to the sincere
and cordial Inequalities of Hartford
the city of the historic and revered
Charter Oak. Of which most of the
town is built
say next. and. leaning over. pretended
to whisper to Grant. Then, as if he
had been prompted by the great soldier,
he Strengthened up and poured out a
fervid culogy on Grants victories, add
ing in an aside as he finished, Il near
~ forgot that part of my speech" to
the roaring delight of his hearers,
while Grant himself grimly smiled.
He then spoke of the general being
now out of public employment, of how
grateful to him his country was, and
~" ~ Stoou ready TO reward him in
every vable-inexpensive way.
Grant had smiled more than once
during the speech and when this sem
tence came out at the end his compos-
ure broke up altogether, while the
throng shouted approval. Clemens
made another speech that night at the
opera house-a speech long remem-
bered in Hartford as one of the great
efforts of his life.
A very warm friendship had grown
up between Mark Twain and General
Grant. y year earlier, on the famous
soldiers return from his trip around
the world, a great birthday banquet
had been given him in Chicago, at
which Mark Twains speech had been
the event of the evening. The colonel
who long before had chased the young
pilot-soldier through the Missouri bot
toms had become his conquering hero,
and Grants admiration for Americas
foremost humorist was most hearty.

Schooner Sunk
and One Missing
Near Boston

fog off Castle island tonight in collision
with the steamer Camden bound from
this port to Rockland, Me. Mulasker

the schooner. is missing and is believed
to have been drowned. The other Is
members of the crew were saved.
Passengers on the Camden were
somewhat alarmed when the collision
occurred, but they were soon quoted
and the steamer made her way back
to her dock. Her bow plates were bent
in and after an examination 1t was de-
cided to cancel the trip. The $50 pas
sengers disembarked.
The Arthur James was bound for the
fishing pier when she encountered the
Camden. She settled rapidly in the
water and Capt. John Matheson and
members of the crew climbed into a
seine boat and were picked up by a
tug. Hager was in the galley and is
believed to have gone down with the
boat.
The Arthur James was built at Es-
sex in 1905 and was of 1873 tons gross.
She hailed from Gloucester. Capt.
Matheson was the principal owner of
the schooner which was valued at $17,-
600. partly covered by insurance. The
Arthur James broke what is believed
to be the worlds record for mackerel
catch when she came in one day last
week with 100000 pounds on board.
The members of the crew received
$3.50 each as their share of that one
catch and brought their total for the
week up to $500.

EXCITING BEAR HUNT.
KS the Big Bear that Invariably Gets
Away, Sure Pop.

An exciting bear hunt took place
last Friday morning in the swamp at
the foot of Vose Mountain when DR..
A. RI. Clark fired 10 shots at a large
she-bear without stopping, although
badly wounding her. At noon as
the doctor had only one cartridge
left he was forced to leave the bear
and return to the village for more
ammunition. With his store replen-
ished and accompanied by r. c.
Huse. DIR. Clark returned to the scene
OF the mornings campaign but was
unable to get another shot at Bruin.
Next morning together with Mr..
Huse and Earle Wing he again took
up the trail and found where the
bear slept over night and had bled
profusely. A short distance away
Postmaster Huse. who was in ad-
vance of the others, came upon the
bear lying nearly upon his back with
head curled down and apparently
dead, but one glance at the size of the
animal convinced Mr.. Huse that the
doctor was considerably excited in his
encounter with the bear on the previ-
Gus day. because this one was a mere
cub weighing not over IS pounds.
He at once shouted back, Here's
your bear, Doc" Lawyer Wing next
appeared and walking up to the bear
kicked him. At the second kick the
bear snarled. but both men concluded
he was about done for" Huse
leveled his gun and stood ready to pull
the trigger should the bear get up. At
this point DR.. Clark arrived on the
scene and never having seen this par
ticular bear before at once fired. killing
him on the spot. 1t seems this young
cub was not easily disturbed from his
midday nap and the hunters said if
they had had a rope along guess they
could have halter broken and led the
bear home. The doctor Is now plan

REVENGE ON pOGFISH.
HOLSTERS Now Eating Their Former
Eoes

Some of the other fish are now hav-
ing their sweet 60 on the dogfish, for
of late the staple food of the Holsters
kept in the pound of the government
hatchery here is dogfish. Other fish
terror of the sea, for if better bait
should become scarce there would
probably still be plenty of dogfish.
Luther Maddocks. who has been
commissioned by the government to
experiment with the dogfish and who
suggested the name which has since
been given. "grayfish." which is the Of
fetal name under which the fish is sold
for food. has found out many interest
ing things about the treatment and use
of the dogfish. The fish are now being
put up in the one pound tall cans
salmon style-here and in Portland,
Rockland and Gloucester. The gov
eminent is putting these on sale and
finds quite a ready market.
MIR. MaddOcks went to Nova Scotia a
week or two ago and again looked over
the project at Clark's Harbor for turn
ing the dogfish into commercial fer
tilizer. He says the Nova Scotians are
putting dogfish into the hopper there,
squeezing out the oil and other fluids
and forty minutes after the remains of
the fish come out of the machine. a dry
fertilizer. He claims that the fertilizer
has been examined at Orono and
Washington and that there is 10 to ~
per cent ammonia and 3 to 4 per cent.
phosphates. A combination is being
made with powdered rockwell which
has per cent. of potash and the two
make a remarkably good fertilizer.
A process of trying out. the Oil has
been used by Mr.. Maddocks also, by use
of jacket kettles. Mr.. Maddocks spent
16 years of his life in the porgy oil
business and knows the work thor
oughly. He is having much success
with dogfish oil. He also was a pioneer
in making rockwell fertilizer for fifty
years ago he was head of the Algae
Fertilizer Co.. which engaged in grind
ing rockwell into fertilizer. Other
products drove this out of the market
then, but since that time the price of
fertilizers has grown immensely. there
is a larger market and since the war
practically no potash to be had.
Mr.. Maddocks goes to Aroostook
county soon for the government and
will interest Aroostook farmers In the
fertilizer product.
