DEXTER, Ang. THE murler at Harmony
appears to have been premeditated. The mur-
derer Eugene Hurd, has for some time lived
in the Province of New Brunswick, where
lsss than a year ago he married, after which
he came to Harmony to reside. Their father
died and the two brothers had had some
trouble about the division of the property and
the murderer had made threats that he would
shoot Howard Still there was no open out
break as the two exchanged work in hayiRg
some. But On Friday last, Eugene on return
ing from Dexter, turned his horses loose in his
brothers. field. Saturday morning early
Howard discovered that his grain was dam
aged and drove the horses out and home to his
brothers. house. He stood in the yard and his
brother came to the door. Here some words
ensued, when Eugene leveled gun and
fired. The charge-which was a very heavy
one-entering in the region of the heart, killed
Howard instantly Forty-fve buckshots were
taken from the wound. Also three wounds,
apparently caused by slugs, were found.
The impression prevails in the community
that the gun was loaded heavily for the pur-
pose of doing the deed. The murderer was
soon arrested. He made no attempt to escape
but informed the officer that he did not know
what he was doing. The indignation of the
community is intense. The murdered man
leaves wife and one child.

surprise, and Mr.. Merrick said that as MIR.
