earnings until she had about 500, which
was the incentive to the crime Four weeks
ago she started with her motley to go to
0gle's station. since which time nothing
has been heard of her. Thursday another
son went over to ask about his mother, when
Snyder little stepson accused his stepfather
of having killed the old lady. He stated
that the murder was committed with
shovel and that after taking the 800 out OF
basket which the victim carried, Snyder
buried the body, digging the grave with the
shovel which had been the instrument Of
death. Snyder was arrested and locked up
in Jail in this city last night. Search will

and Swindling.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, December 6.-N. S.
McCann, farm laborer, is wanted here on
a charge Of forgery. McCann has been in
the employe of a farmer named Barrett,
living in the town of Clayton. One week
ago Saturday, he hired horse ofa Clay
ton liveryman and came to this city, where
called on George Loomis. who had bought
quantity of hay OF his employer. McBauu,
n'is said representing himself to be Bar
rett's son, told Loomis that his father had
sent him for his money, as he had a
note of $3.50 to pay at the bank. Nc
Cam told such a smooth story that
Loomis was disarmed of all suspicion and at
once made ont check for $3.50 payable, as
he supposed, to Barrett, Jr., and another for
s2l3 payable to Barrett himself. McCann,
it is alleged, disposed of the check for $3.50
at jewelry store, where he bought watch
for $40, getting the balance in cash. He
also, it is claimed, forged Barrett's name to
the other check and drew the money, after
whichIhe ran away, leaving The horse. The
iveryman recovered his horse and nothing
was thought wrong until Barrett wrote
Loomis asking LAY for the hay. The mans
swindle was then revealed, but as he has
nearly two weeks start he is probably out
OF reach.
