generally tell him of the presence Of

Occasionally, when the wind is
wrong for the bear, and when he has
not been hunted, one may meet him
face to face on the trail. On one
occasion I helped to put tag on a
bear, and then sent him back into

ming higher and higher. asked for
just few days longer and then 1
evolved a scheme which was as wild
on it's face as that in which the howl
ing dog played the principal part.
Perhaps, in effect, it was as practical.
One afternoon Heidemann and
Neimeister hired rig and a horse
and went for a drive along an OBJ
scure shaded roadway that winds
about the countryside north of Yon-
kers. AS they drove along a little
stretch that was particularly shad-
owed by trees and beside which there
were no houses, they saw a short,
swarthy man in the ramshacl1le at
tire of vagabond, trudging down
the road toward them.

in his mouth, and when the hobo,
who was apparently an Italian, came
face to face with them, the detective
drew rein and asked the pedestrian
for a match. The man drew a brass
matchbox from his pocket and passed
it up to Neimeister. Then he stood
beside the buggy and waited for the
box's return.

Bagging a Bear

ries. In localities where in a fat year
one could have picked a bushel of
blueberries and other wild fruit in a
few hours 1 could not have filled a
tin cup by working all day.
1t was the hunger of the lean year
that made a young bear so bold that
one night he invaded the workmen's
grub tent and carried away a slab of
bacon. On his next nightly visit he
devoured all the butter in camp. A
day or two later he appeared in
broad daylight and was very reluc-
tant to give up his raid,
This was too much for the men,
who worked hard on the frebreak
all day and had to bring in their
provisions from a town thirty miles
away.
They were not allowed to shoot the
bear, but they set about to catch him
alive. They dug a pit about six feet
deep and covered it with brush and
thin boards. well creased with frag-
rant fat of bacon.
The next morning early the super
intendent called me, saying: Get up
quick. the men have caught the
bear"
We quickly built a strong cage Of
timbers and woven wires, This cage
we placed near the pit, in which the
bear lay coiled up. When first
caught he had made frantic efforts

and suggested that they leave the
theater, which they did.
II was all convincing enough to
US, but it was not proof, and we
wanted proof. But Neimeister con-
tinued to play the game.
Two months after Heidemann's
arrival in New York the two decided
to take a room in Yonkers and live
there through the rest of the sum
mer. They took nice room in an
apartment house and spent most of
their time in the vicinity. They
played cards and chess and checkers
a good deal of the time, and fire.

weighing about hundred pounds.
We kept him about six weeks and
he became fairly tame and was
friendly to his keeper, the superin-

Heidemann.
The gardener told our man the
history of his life. neglecting only
to mention that he had lived in AS
bury Park. He never mentioned the
name of that city. Other omissions
and many actions convinced us be-
fore very long that Heidemann was,
indeed, the murderer, but there was
not a vestige of proof We simply
had to go on in the hope that he
would catch himself.
We tried many ruses to make an
opening for the subject of the Asbury

no result. Naturally. Neimeister

Passengers Jolted
When Electrics Crash
Wednesday Morning

The passengers on the car arriv-
ing from Winthrop at o'clock A. M,
were badly shaken up, Wednesday
morning. when a Gardiner extra,
which was following this one into the
street, collided with the Winthrop
car at Swan street. No one was in
jured seriously however, and the pas
sengers were able to be at their &C
customed places during the day.
The accident occurred on Grove
street near the Swan street stop.
An automobile which was stalled upon
the track made it necessary to stop
the Winthrop car short of the usual
place. The Gardiner car was fol-
lowing close behind and it was nee
esSary to apply the brakes strongly
to stop. The track was slippery and
the wheels slid with the result that
the Gardiner car crashed into the
rear of the Winthrop car with some
little momentum. The shock threw
the passengers from their seats and
some We're wrenched slightly.
The shock of tile collision: smashed
the lights on the cars. bent the
tenders and put the air brake out
of commission on the Winthrop car.
The hand brake was mot injured
however.
Both of the cars were one-man
cars, the Winthrop car being in
charge of motorman Sam Chase, and
the other being driven by Arthur
Burns. The cars We're both taken
back to the car barn for repairs and
the passengers walked into the
street.
A doctor was called to examine
Mrs. c. E. Edwards who was thought
might be seriously injured. but upon
examination it was found that this
was not the case and she was able
to take up her duties.

Apple Worm
Fighting in County

Fighting worms WRlcn ln1cSt APP
pies is an important phase of the
orcharding work as conducted in the
county by the Extension Service and
the Kennebec Farm Bureau. The
committee in charge feel that they
have accomplished something definite
in this line, especially the curbing of
the tripeta fly or railroad worm
which has been found to be more
or less pronounced in this county.
Apple worms which Kennebec or
chard owners have difficulties with
are the old fashioned apple worm,
which is the larva of the coddling
moth and a new tangled worm which
is the larva Of the small fly called
known to control the coddling moth
for great many years with poisoned
sprays, but only recently more eff
fective methods of controlling the
tripeta has been known. Recent re-
search by experiment station in

affected trees. In this climate, the
fly makes it's appearance sometime in
July or the early part of August.
Consequently the pest may be con-

in Monmouth and Readfield became
interested in an attempt to control
the pest and consequently the EXten-
sion Service held orchard meetings
at both places last spring which were
well attended.
A. K. Gardiner, extension crop
specialist. was present at both meet
ings and told about the life history
of the fly and described definite
control. At Readfield six men
agreed to set traps in order to find

Maine Delegation to
C. A. r. Encampment
Dined by Mr.. Ford

An interesting story which has
recently come to light with regard
to the National Encampment of the
G. A. r. which was held at Mil
waukee in September. has to do with
q visit of the Maine delegation of
veterans to the Ford plant at De-
troit.
The members of the Maine dele
cation under the leadership of Jas.
l.. Merrick of WaterVille went on a
sightseeing expedition while in De-
troit, and desired to go through the
Ford plant. One of the members of
this party called the Ford plant on
the telephone and asked for per-
mission to inspect it. Mr.. Ford
asked what delegation this was and
was told that it was the Maine dele
cation to the National Encampment
of the C. A. r. He then asked how
many veterans there were in the
party and was informed that there
were 81.
Permission was granted them to
visit the plant and when they ar
rived the superintendent was there
to meet the group. He conducted
the veterans throughout the entire
plant and they saw every operation
that goes to make one of these au-
tomobiles. They started in at one
end of the plant with the making
of the small parts of the automobile
and followed the belt upon which
the car was assembled until they
saw the finished automobile driven
off the other end under it's own pow
er. This inspection tour consumed
a long time and the men were
greatly interested by the many
sights that they witnessed.
AS they prepared to leave the fac
tory. Mr.. Ford appeared and in

quired if they would not like to see
one of the kitchens attached to the
plant. Upon their answering in the
affirmative. they were conducted by
him to a large room in which were
tables and upon these tables were
placed "a plates. The soldiers were
then treated to a fine dinner which
had been prepared for them at Mr..
Ford's orders.
This was one of the happiest
memories to these men of their en-
campment and the fine trip which
they took. Everywhere they were
treated with the. greatest of cour-
tesy. but this kind act on the part
of Mr.. Ford, who although busy
with the care of his large plant,
could still find time to look after
the comfort Of these veterans of the
Civil war. will always be remem-
bered by them as one of the out
standing features of the trip.
