Warden Runs Down
Game Law ViOlatOrs
From Meager Clue

Otis H. Taylor. chief game war
den of upper Washington county.
received tip few days ago that
two strangers had just killed some
cartridges while passing along the
highway in Kossuth. The only in
formation he received which would
aid him In the Identification of the
parties was that there were two men
driving red car. The warden
started in pursuit hoping he would
be fortunate enough to overtake
them or find them parked along the
highway in pursuit of more game.
He went as far as Lee, a distance
of some 30 miles from Topsfield.
Immediately after his arrival there
he saw car which answered the
description of the one he was seek
ing passing. Thinking these were
the parties the warden made chase
and before reaching Lincoln over
took the car passing 1t and when
they came along caused the driver
to stop and allow his car to be in
spected. He found in the possession
OF the driver of the car a 45 Smith
and Wesson caliber gun, and four
cartridges nicely dressed. In con-
sequence of this incident n fine of
$40 was paid by John Smith for vio-
lation of this law. d..
The efficient work OF the warden
in experimenting these parties has
been greatly recommended by all
parties In that section interested in
the enforcement OF the fish and
game laws. and would-be game law
violators are warned not to come
into that section II they do not wish
to be apprehended, for in addition
to the regular warden force there,
secret service staff is also on duty
looking after alleged jack-lighters in
that region.

DEMOL|SHINC OF
CHURCH SPIRE 4
Merry PIECE WORK

The stately spire which for so
many years has graced the old Bap-
fist church at the top of Winthrop
hill has at last been removed and
the church has taken on an altogeth-
err different appearance. This old
landmark had become unsafe and
the proprietors of the Augusta Ma
chine Shop, Inc, which owns the
building decided that it was best %
have 1t removed.
This work has been watched with
interest by those passing by and
many EXPLANATIONS of amazement
have been heard as the men who
were upon the steeple made their
way about in the course OF their
work. When they were at the top
Of the $50 feet shaft they appeared
almost like large insects working
there and it seemed an impossibility
to take down the steeple with safety.
This they did however. and on
Thursday afternoon the entire
structure above the room that
houses the clock had been taken
down, although Mr.. Larrabee and
his crew did not start until Monday
morning. When the high winds of
Tuesday were taken into considera-
ton this was indeed quick work.
The first operation was to lake
out some boards near the bottom or
the steeple itself SO that they might
get to the outside with ease. Then
an opening was made near the top
of the steeple and a sling was passed
about the top from which boat
swains chair was suspended. After
the shingles were removed much of
the boarding was taken down and
then the real work began.
It was necessary to cut off the
timbers a piece at time as the en-
tire fifty foot length would be too
much to handle. A twenty foot
portion of one of the timbers would
be sawed off and lowered to the bel
fry and then the next timber would
be sawed off in the same way. This
was done until they were all cut Off
at the top of the belfry.
The top of the belfry is to be roof
ed over so as to provide place for
the city clock which is located in
the steeple and then the work of
the steeple jacks will be over.
The nerve of these men Is some
thing marvellous to those who stand
on the ground and look up. Just the
other day in windy weather two or
them were working at the top OF the
steeple. One was working on n
short improvised ladder while the
other was in the boatswains chair.
The one in the chair lowered him.
self to the platform at the base NJ
the steeple itself and held the ropes
steady while the other descended
hand over hand to the same plat
form. The nerve that Is required 10
do this hand over hand stunt down
a fifty foot rope to platform 100
feet in the air is more than the aver
age man possesses. Especially is
this so when the steeple upon which
they are working sways in the wind
so that to a man inside the belfry
the SWAY is noticeable.
