The Canadian Hurls an Axe at His 0ppo-
nent, Splitting His Head Open and
Instantly Killing Him.

FARxIsGToN, July 8.
Several Canadians who were eve witnesses
OF the murderous affray on Moose river, last
Saturday, were in Pennington, Wednesday,
and from them was CLEANED few more par
ticulars of the murder 1t seems that fam
lily of brothers named Bean have for many
years infested that region and become noto-
rious bv their deeds of lawlessness.
Concerning them, Skowhegan lawyer
said yesterday I'VE should hardly know
we were holding a term Of court in Somerset
county did we not have them on trial for
some offense." They had kind of hotel on
the banks of the Moose river and they were
a perfect terror to Canadians coming down
into the States. This season they have, if
possible, been worse than before, OBTAINING
the Frenchmen, robbing them and even ston-
ing and firing upon them as they lassed by.
Last Saturday three teams of emigrants came
down from Canada. The family had been
augmented by rough river drivers until it
numbered thirteen men. The first team was
robbed of all its contents. When the second
drove by the ''hotel" they were ordered to
halt and give up their liquor. I'VE have no
liquor responded one of the Frenchmen
named Roderck from St. Francis. ''Give
up your packs them cried Bean. Of course
they refused and Bean leveling PISTOL at
Roderick, demanded the packs or his life. In
the bottom of the team lay little axe that
the party used in cutting dry sticks for
kinding fires and similar service. Quick as
lightning Roderick seized it in the defence of
his life and hurled it at Bean.
1t struck tha desperate in the head splitting
his head open and he fell instantly killed.
Filled with terror, Beams accomplices fled
into the woods and Roderick, unmolested,
proceeded down river where he gave himself
into the custody of the law.
The last man that passed that way that day
saw the deep pool of blood in the road but
was not troubled.
Roderick is drover, who makes occas ion
al trips into the States for cattle and sheep.
He is peaceable, prosperous man and pub
lie sympathy is with him everywhere. The
French Canadians of Pennington rejoice ex-
ceedngly in the death of Bean and think that
the disreputable gang to which he belonged,
is forever broken up.
