4 RHODE ISLAND JOB.
Prosecuted for Thirteen Years by Secret
and yiudiefive Enemies.

PROVIDENCE, Il. l., January 25--For the
past thirteen years William 4. Weeden, g
farmer living on Cumberland Hill, has
been prosecuted by unknown enemies. A
dozen years ago two large barns were
burned, and in July, 1882, another barn
was burned, together with cattle and farm
ing implements.
Since then his buildings have been de-
faced, his well has been defiled, the family
tomb desecrated, distractions planted in
the way OF his mowing-machine his farm
ing tools stolen and found broken, and an
apparently organized attempt made to
injure him in every possible way. Re-
wards were offered both by Mr.. Weeden
and the town for the detection of the
criminals. The town police have been al
work on the case for a long time, and to day,
as the result OF a confession made by
Charles A. Boss, now in jail at Cranstown
awaiting trial on another charge, warrants
were issued against Boss and Town-Coun
cillor Simeon Budlong, of Cumberland
Boss as the principal and Budlong as an
accessory to the crime of burning Weed
ems barn in 1882. Boss swore that Bud
long, who is Weeden's near neighbor
hired him to fire the barn.
Budlong was arraigned in Valley Falls
He pleaded not guilty and furnished
surety in the sum of $500 for examination
on the 3lst instant. Budlong, who has
lived about seven years in Cumberland
was elected 10 the Council last spring.
