Chinese had of the presence of the

Last Saturday afternoon the quiet town of
Alma in Lincoln county, was the scene of
shocking, cold-blooded butchery, an old
man but few years distant from the grave
and ordinarily peaceful and abiding
citizen, fatally cutting the throat of his wife
and afterwards making what will undoubt-
eddy prove successful attempt to take his
own life thus adding one more to the long
list of bloody horrors which have made
Maine famous Rum did not do it this time
but fierce, ungovernabe temper was the
main-spring that mpelled the murderer to
lift his hand against the one whom he should
have loved and protected.
