WALDO.
There seems to be no new Developments
in clearing the mystery of the death of Leila
Roberts. Her body arrived at Brooks, Me-,
Thursday night The funeral was to occur
Friday. The check that the dead girl received
from her brother in Brooks was cashed at the
First National Bank at Lewiston month ago.
The notification of the fact was rendered to
the police, Thursday, in the hopes that it
might have some bearing upon developments
of the mystery. Nothing has been learned
that can give any clue to the paramour of
the deceased 1t is stated and is undoubtedly
true, that an illustrated paper has offered a
considerable sum for photograph for publ
cation. A correspondent writes from Brooks
that her mother is nearly heart broken.
The exhibit of the financial standing of
Waldo county, as shown by the Treasurer's
report published in the Progressive Age last
week. is not flattering one. We find that
the expenses of the county for the present
year were SIS PA, and the amount assessed
from towns Sl4 600. So that the expenses
have been SO GA over the appropriations,
making the county that much in debt. The
county commissioners estimated the sum of
SIG 900 for county expenses, but the legisla-
ture cut it down to Sl4 900.
