The terrible tragedy which was enact
ed last Saturday night near Ranletts
Corner, Montvillc, Waldo County, some
eighteen miles from Belfast excited the
deepest interest. i; resulted in the yio-
lent death of three persons, John Nc
Farand and Salina Mcfarland his wife,
each sged about 20 years, ard George
Rowell aged about 40 years. Rowell
who was partially insane fired upon one
Alonzo Raynes then killed Mcfarland
and his wife with his dubbed gun and
was subsequently, shot and killed by
Raynes while attempting 10 break into
his house. Rowell was a powerful mus
cular man, weighing over two hundred
pounds, who had been insane at times
for several years but was not considered
offensive or dangerous. 1t is said his
condition was caused by religious ex-
element.
a coroner's inquest was held Tuesday
and verdict rendered in accordance
with the above facts. The funeral of
the victims will be held Wednesday. -
The scene at the Mcfarland house
where the dead bodies lay is sad one
