This colonel then told me that Lee
had surrendered his whole army. 1
smiled and thought "you will see."
About this time Gary broke
through the Yankees line and more
shooting was started. Over at Apo
mattox the Yankees cursed Lee and
said it was a trap Lee had set.
About this time they brought up
Sergeant Frank Warren on foot and
bareheaded. He was on reserve picket
post and asleep when they charged.
When this shooting started, Yankee
officer took out his sword and threat
ened to split his head open. My guard

sent courier after me and brought
Warren's horse up to him. Not keep,
ing guard over US, we were at liberty
to walk around. We thought they
would give us our horses next morn
ing and send US back to our com

We were ordered to leave oul
horses and fall in, and were carried
back some distance and put under
guard with 700 other prisoners on
SPOT of land about one acre, and thi

opportunity to be heard, and at the
close the commission went into exc

member of the bar" to present "a
substantial cash offer" for the stock.
This offer. he said, would be pre-
scented within 60 days to the depart
ment of justice and to the trustees
appointed as result of the decree.
At the outset of the hearing, the
attorney general announced that the
government was most interested in
whether the New England subsidi-
aries were in competition with the
Maine road, but he got little in direct
answer to this question. Most of the
hearing was occupied with an ar
raignment of the New Haven by Mr..
Croker. and the retorts of Moorefield
Storey, a Boston attorney for the
New Haven.
Mr.. Daugherty explained in opening
the discussion that he wanted to do
what he could to help fulfill any duty
or obligation on the part of the gov
eminent.

Defends Sportsmen's
Fish and Game Assn.

President Merton H. French of the
Maine Sportsmen's Fish and Game
Association, sends the following let
ter to the Bangor Commercial, fol-
lowing the letter of resignation of Or.
L. S. Chilcott Of that city from the
association, as a result of the rifle
trophy controversy:
ITO such of your readers as read
DR.. l.. S. Chilcott's letter of resigna-
ton from the Maine Sportsmen's Fish
and Game association, printed in your
issue of Saturday. last, I would like
to say a few words regarding the
stigma his letter tries to place upon
the methods of this association in the
conduct of these rifle matches. Were
this a personal matter between DR..
Chilcott and myself I should not
think of taking it into print, for one
reason because it would not occur to
me that the public could be greatly
interested in it. AS, however. the let
ter makes an effort to put the asso-
citation in a bad light. and as happen
to be at the head of it at this time, it
seems to be my job to make few
statements to defend the association
from this unwarranted attack.
First: DR.. Chilcott drew up all
the rules which governed the shoot
irg at the meeting last June, at
Squaw Mt. Inn. where the match in
question was shot.
Second: His score in one of the
matches was contested by Mr.. L. w.
Somers, OF Bangor, claiming in
fringement of rules.
Third: asked DR.. Chilcott for
suggestions as, to the best method of
settling the controversy.
II took this course in order to set
at method of procedure satisfactory
to both men, so that when a decision
