stories to each other for his benefit.

earnin' nothin'. But lived right on
the road the western emigrants went
over every day. So dug a hole in the
road at the foot of the hill, near my
house, turned Twin spring o water in

when the cmigrants came along, every
dav there would be one or more teams
stuck in my mud-hole, an they would
see my steers standm' out doin' nothln',
an they would send up an git me to

Developments in the Jewett tragedy

Charles Taintor's statement that he witnessed
the shooting. He was III the room above

The Boston Herald publishes an article
so the effect that there are grave suspicious
that William Mcguire, the sole survivor Of
the brig Roanoke, did not tell true story
His statement to Captain Carson, OF the
schooner that rescued him, we're contradic.
tory, and gave rise to the suspicion that the
crew mutined and probably murdered the
captain and his followers, and also the pas
sengers, and that the vessel became unman
ageable after they got possession. 1t does
not seem consistent that the passenger,
would have deliberately drowned themselves
while there was the least hope of being saved.

tains cabin, were $4,000 in gold a sufficient
incentive for an uprising of the crew. 1t is
surmis, ID that the crew drank freely of lager,
and while drunk went below to get the con.
tents of the safe, and had fight with the
captain and sailors who remained faithful.
This is based on the fact that Mcguire says
that one of the crew, a Finn, threatened to
shoot the captain, and the fact that one of
the crew was found dead, with his upper lip
cut off, when Mcguire was taken off by Capt.
Carson. Mcguire said in explanation, that
Finn got the pistol out of dozen that were
lying about the cabin, and the dead man
found on the wreck had his lip bit of in n
fight with one of the crew on the twenty
sixth of March. Mcguire, when found,
showed but little signs of exhaustion, fact
rather strange, in view of his claim that
many of his comrades had died of exposure.
