FALL RIVER, Dec. 3.--Andrew Seabury,
farmer, living in Little Compton, r L., about
IL miles from this city near the State line wss
circumstances. Seabury started from home at
7 a. m. with his OK team to gather sea weed
from the shore Of Seaconnet River on the
water front of the farm owned by Edward
Davis. Not returning when expected, his 10
year old son went in search of him, and found
his fathers dead body on the beach, with his
head covered with blood, ssand a wagon stake
lying near. The appearance of the body indicat
ed that death was caused by blows. Unfriend-
ly relations known to have existed between
Seabury and Davis have given rise to ugly
stories and rigid investigation will be made.
Another report says that Seabury had some
trouble with Portuguese farm hand.

anything but a household divinity. HIS
temper is good up TO five years old, when he

his natural home and he will steal away at
night and travel long distances for his bath.
The tests Of his purity of breed and general

The earliest records of the island show
that the aboriginal dog of the country was
a goodtempered creature of great size, and
so strong that he could draw from the water
seals weighing hundreds of pounds He
had passionate fOndness for the sea, lived
on raw fish and was a skillful fisher, swim
ming rapidly under water and catching his
prey by the mouth. A case is cited where
one OF these dogs was seen catching fish for
sheer sport, heaping them up on shore, and
then plunging in for others. The same
records prove, however, that this dog was
of an extinct species very different from the
present Newfoundland, though the latter, in
this latitude, is very fond of raw fish
