The first word has been received from
the Schools Bridge party which went into
the woods last Saturday noon and the mes
sage contained therein was that the party
had already shot one deer. The bulletin
did not state who shot the animal. whether
it was one Of the three judges. or Clerk of
Courts Jones, his son Fred or whether it
was Mayor Robinson or Dr.. Nutting of Hal
lowell, but the fact that some one of the
party got deer is enough TO satisfy their
friends at home for the present The mes
sage also contained piece of information
that IVES not so welcome and which goes
to show that the spirit of thieving enters
the hearts of some men even in the wild
woods. the translation OF which statement is
that the party had a bunch of cartridges
hung up outside the camp to await the COM
ing of the morning, when the birds were to
be broiled for breakfast. but when the cook
went out to get them not partridge re-
manned. Some mean whelp in human form
had stolen them in the night and decamped
for parts unknown.
