since 1915. The town has taken de.

Capture of Big Moose
in the State Museum

The Journal is in receipt of the fol-
lowing interesting account OF the big
moose in the splendid collection in the
State museum from Edna L. Buker,
Bowdoinham, r. F. D. 8. Box IS, and
Curator Thomas A. James says 1t is
correct so far as he knows, it having
been secured before his connection
with the institution. Mr.. James also
says that the, taxidermist mentioned
in the letter was W. r Clifford Of
Skowhegan The letter:
Visitors at the State Museum have
all noticed in particular the big brown
moose and will be interested to learn
of its capture. About rs years ago.
one day in early winter Joseph Buke-
and Lawrence Hayden Of Skowhegan
were hunting caribou near Moxie
mountain. when a large moose trotted
down the hill toward them. Mr.. Buker
stepped back among a clump Of frs
and Mr.. Hayden hid behind a stump Of
a yellow birch. When the moose came
within an easy rifle shot Mr.. Hayden
fired. The bullet struck the animal in
the left shoulder and passed through
the lower part Of its heart. The shot
did not take immediate effect, for the
moose began to wildly circle about
them, so Mr.. Hayden fired again but
the shot went astray. The huge ami
NAL soon fell dead and Mr.. Buker cut
its throat. AS it was too late to haul
the moose from the woods that night
they covered it with boughs and went
to Chamberlain Hill, five miles away,
where they had a pair Of horses.
Early the next morning they with
two other men started to the woods for
their game. They rolled the moose
onto the sled and started for Skowhe-
gan, 80 miles away. The ground was
covered with about 10 inches Of snow
and was but partly frozen, the journey
was very rough. AS they drove
through the village many people
crowded about the sled to Zee the
moose. Mr.. Buker drove to his stable
and that evening nearly every person
in the place had called to see the ami
NAL
The next morning he drove to the
butcher shop where II was dressed
It weighed over 100 lbs. When It was
killed 1t weighed about 1900 lbs. A
taxidermist was at the shop and he
took care Of the monster. The moose
was sold to a party who exhibited It
at fairs and shows. About 10 years
ago It was taken to the STATE museum.

al months after an attack of measles on
account Of the danger to the eyes. The
use Of leaflets for the instruction Of school
children in health matters was strongly
urged, and the time for the teacher to
give instruction on side-stepping the dan
ger from any particular disease is just
when that disease has appeared or is
threatening.
