ing suspended.
The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the court by tame War
den Bertrand Smith Of Augusta, who
produced two traps taken from .lIe
muskrat house. Respondent denied
ownership Of the traps. Warden
Smith said he had traced the respon-
dent by his shoe tracks which were
plain to be seen. He further stated
that in a large number of muskrat
houses traps were set, and he ex-
planned the manner by. which many
muskrats are exterminated when
only one is caught in the trap.
Goodwin said that as he came along
Tuesday morning he had seen a
number Of traps set in muskrat
houses, but they were not his. He
said that one Of the two traps pro-
duced came from the muskrat house
in question, but that it did not be-
long to him. And he said that two
Of his traps are missing, but that
those produced in court were not the
ones. Respondent is Canadian
and is a blacksmith by trade.
In passing sentence upon him,
Judge Lancaster declared emphatical-
ly that it must be understood that the
muskrat houses are not to be dis
turbed.

understand how it was that Ward
Three could possibly show a loss Of
500 in the present census as COM
pared with 1910. They felt that it
certainly was a mistake. The fol-
lowing letter from the Office of the
Supervisor of the Census for the
Third Maine district shows such to
be the case:
I'VE have your letter of the 9Th.
The enumerator called be by wire in
answer to my inquiry. and we have
adjusted the matter. It was mis-
take in this Office, in that we follow
ed out his district by wrong lines.
He shows an increase in the ward
and it is all right. I am sorry to
have troubled you. but mistakes will
occur the best we can do"
