BAsQUE's HAIR BURNT
THROUGH HAT BY SHOT

What a shot fired at close range
will d. as to burning human hair OF
flesh was given a fair demonstration
in the case of Martin Iuzargarat, the
BASQUE who shot himself in the side
Of the head two weeks ago last night
He used a 3~S-caliber Bulldog revol
yer ind shot through is hat. pre-
sumaoiy the carridge icing charged
with semi-smokeless powder, and the
hal. inside his hat was slightly cur!e1
and slnged. Ii has been examined
under g lens and this fact determined.
The facts are of interest by reason
of the controversy yer the subject
of how close a gun might be held
without burning the flesh or hair,
which was a material point In the
Coverly murder trial. the issue be-
ing whether the gun could have been
held close enough to the dead man to
10 have shot himself accidentally, as
claimed by the defense, OF as far
away as q foot and a half IN the hand
of Mrs. Dawn Margaret Williams, as
claimed by the state.
The distance that the muzzle was
held from the Basque's head, Of
course. never will he known and he
probably could not tell if he even re-
members about shooting himself, but
it must have been two or three inches
or possibly more, Judging from the
location of the wound.
Iuzargarat has fooled the doctors
about his having any intention OF
dying in the immediate future from
the effects OF his two wounds. He is
better and is eating regularly, being
able to talk. The facts Of the shoot
ing are not discussed with him ard
so far as known he has said nothing
about them.
No X-rays have been taken of the
two wounds. The bullet in the back
of his head Is thought to be in the
skull itself rather than in the brain,
which might account for death not
having occurred from that expected
source. What course the bullet in
his chest took is equally uncertain.
Photographs will be taken within the
next forty-eight hours. according to
DR.. w. w. Cook, and then the ques-
ton OF removing the bullets viii be
considered.

her husband, is able to sit in a wheel

ing feed for beef cattle was also proven
In the feeding trials.
Calves getting silage, plus a full
feed of grain, feed more regular and
required less careful and skillful feed
ing than the calves getting a heavy
feed of grain and no silage. The silage-
fed calves made a gain of 2.36 pounds
per head per day for a period of 196
days, while the calves fed without
silage were valued at 10 cents per 100
pounds above the calves fed sllagc, yet
the silage-fed calves showed a net
profit of $3.50 a head, while those
without silage showed a profit of S16.15
a head.
Barley proved practically equal to
corn, pound for pound, in making
gains on fattenlng calves, but because
of its greater cost and the lower saw
ing of feed made by hogs following.
the corn-fed calves showed n profit of
$16.15 n head, while the ~bariey-fed
calves showed a profit of only S6.o1 n

Purebred beef calves, high-grade
beef calves and common calves show

these signatures are secured and filed
in the office of the secretary of State
in time to put temporary veto upon
the bill before the 90-day limit after
Legislature finally adjourns, the ref
erendum will not be held until the
regular State election on the second
Monday of September. 1924.
This will have the effect of making
it impossible for actual work to e

even though the voters of the State
should reject the Governors idea of
State development of storage by ap-
proving the charter of the Kennebec
Reservoir Company.
The Governors Proclamation
The Governors proclamation issued
Friday was as follows:
State of Maine. Proclamation by
by the Governor. March %, 1923.
To the People of Maine:
In 1868 the Governor of Maine, act
ing under authority granted him by
the Legislature. decided to a private
corporation millions of acres of tim
berland that belonged to the people.
In 1928 the S1st Legislature has
just granted to another private cor
pOration water storage and power
privileges worth millions of dollars.
These privileges are all that re-
main of the Peoples once great ma
tural inheritance.
The end is not vet, for in 1923 the
People possess power they did not
have in 1868.
AS Governor of Maine Immediate
ly shall invoke a referendum upon
the Kenrebec Reservoir Company's
charter, SO that the People them
selves may protect their rights. Their
final decision will be given on the
second Monday of September, 1924.

over his veto by the legislature. the
story Immediately started that he
was doing it to because he was to
be a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor in 1924.

garding the rumor.

No One in Favor
Plenty Opposition
to Katahdin Park

The act to establish the. Mt. Ka-
tahdin State Park and to create the
Mt. kathadin State Park Board APP
peared to be a friendlessS measure
when it came up for hearing Friday
afternoon before the committee on
state lands and forest preservation.
There was no lack Of opposition,
however, the opponents strongly pre-
Senting their case.
Representative Granville Of Par
sonsfield. member of the committee.
stated at the opening of the hearing
that he had introduced the bill at the
instance of one of his good friends
who was not present at the hearing.
and that personally he should not APP
pear for or against the measure.
Hon. Blaine S. Viles of Augusta
stated that this is the same bill that
was presented at the last legislative
session when the matter was gone
into thoroughly and the almost unan-
lmous report of the committee was
Ought not to pass" He said that he
was house chairman Of that commit
tee and that in the House last session
there We're only four supporters of
the bill
That the Katahdin region would be
practically unchanged by the provi-
sions of, this act was the belief ex-
pressed by Mr.. Viles, who pointed out
that the forests of Mt. Katahdin arc
now open to campers and are closed
to hunting. He attacked the propo-
sition as opening the door for large
State expenditures, saying that it had
been estimated that it would cost
100000 a mile to build roads in that
territory, an expense which the State
is not able to meet.
Attorney Cyrus N. Blanchard of
Wilton also spoke of the large amount
of money which would be required
for building State highways in that
section. He also opposed the PROPOSE
ton on the grounds that II is not
necessary to have the park now as
katahdin will be here for cenuries
to come,

lures which this project would in

ricultural League. and William J.
