The fire department were called out
Saturday mt l:3S p. m. by an alarm of fire
from box 50, which was caused by the
breaking out of fire in the dry house con-
nected with the Barnes mill. All the COM
panies responded with remarkable
promptness i'll view of the bad condition of
the streets from snow, and the flames
which were bursting out of the ventilat ors
when the companies reached the scene,
were eXtinguished III a short time. The
companies deserve great credit for their
efficient work sand Chief Engineer Grant
is also to be commended for the excellent
way in which the fire was managed The
fire is supposed to have been caused by Il
spark being drawn into the conduit
through which hot air is forced into the
dry house. The building is owned by
Lawrence Barnes and is occupied by the
Skillings, Whitney Il Barnes Lumber
company. d. w. Robinson had some Eng
fish oak drying there for his new house
and George X. Holt had some material in
the dry house. The loss will probably not
exceed $500 being confined for the greater
part to the contents of the building. The

THE wILLIsToN SUICIDE.
The Body Identified as that of Donald
McCree of Cambridgeport, Mass.


The body of man which was found in
Williston, Thursday afternoon, is now
supposed to be that of Donald McCree of
Cambrdgeport, Mass, one of the painters
who did the painting in the Billings Ii
brary. The main clue that was found on
the body was Il piece of paper on which
was written an inscription for child's
tombstone, the name being Lowrey. DR..
A. l.. Bingham, one of the selectmen of
Williston, came to this city Friday and
upon consulting with the Health officer,
learned that Joseph Lowrey had lost Il
child whose name was the same as that
upon the paper found in the dead mans
pocket. Mr.. Lowrey was seen and he
Identified the paper as one he had written.
He stated that man named Donald Nc
Cree had been working with HIM u few
months since and that he had Nc
Cree make IA head board for the grave
of his little child, the inscription for
which h wrote out in old English. Nc
Cree went to Essex Junction Il few weeks
ago and Mr.. Lowrey had heard nothing
from him since until now This establishes
almost beyond question the identity of the
body as that of McCree. A conductors
check to Burlington, dated November "a,
was found in the dead mans pocket, and
inquiry at Essex Junction led to the dis
covery that Il man bearing McCree's de
Scrpton left the depot at that place about
November "a and walked down the track
towards Williston, and it was also
noticed that he acted in strange
manner. 1t was also learned that
men at work upon Mr.. Kiefe's farm
saw him walking not hundred yards
from where the body was found. He
passed them hurriedly and was talking in
an distracted manner which indicated to
them that he was insane, as was undoubt-
ed the case.
1t was learned that while in this city
McCree corresponded with brother who
resided at that time in CambrdgepOrt
Mass, and DR.. \. l.. Bingham sent him a
message announcing the discovery of the
body and seeking to secure its identity be-
yOnd doubt. McCree told various par
ties in this city that he and his brother
came from England several years since and
that his brother was now in good circum
stances. DR.. Bingham says the body
is that of Il well formed, and good looking
man, who weighed in the neighborhOOd
of 10 pounds. The wound Is a CHASTITY
looking cash and the death struggles OF
short. The place where the body was found
is difficult of access and he thinks McCret
while partially demented from the effects
of prlvation and discouragement went into
this place, where unObserved he Nigh
end his life No post mortem examine
ton will be held until McCree's brother i:
heard from, if his answer is received il
reasonable time.
