Escape From Catamount Chase Becomes Town Lore
An elderly settler recounts a near fatal catamount chase while he fled across Maine woods to his Rumford neighbor for help. He describes roasting meat in the camp, losing his garb, and escaping into his log cabin pursued by the hungry catamount, then reuniting with his wife and children after a dramatic night. The tale ends with the survivor reflecting on the fright and its lasting impact.

A meager market note reports decline in breadstuffs and easy money conditions in New York. War dispatches from Halifax say Allied forces gain momentum near Gallipoli, with landings of 20 000 French and 6 000 English troops and a sanguinary engagement near Kalafat. Russian reports claim defeats at Chernavéda and retreats from Wallachia as ships move in the Black Sea near Odessa.
